Today, more than ever, the garden adds enormous value to a house, says HouseBeautiful.com. That is because people want to spend as much time outside, as possible. The need to breathe fresh air has been instilled in us, through movements restrictions that were imposed on everyone, over the last two years. Therefore, getting the most out of your yard, should be a priority. Here are a few tips to help you on the subject.
Join Your Indoor to Your Outdoor
No matter how many months you can actually benefit from your garden, you should enjoy its view all year long. The way to do so, is to use system aluminium windows. Why? It is simply the best way to build a window wall, that will let you maximise your view of the outdoors. It can be designed according to your needs and demands, in terms of aesthetics, but also in regards to smoke integrity and fire resistance, to name only a few characteristics available for you to choose from. In the long winter days, when the sun reflects on the snow, you will benefit from the reflection of the sun rays entering your home to warm it, and in summer time, you will be able to literally open the house to your garden.
Utilize your Side Yard
Too often we use the side yard as lost space, when it definitely shouldn’t be. There are so many different uses you can make of it. The first is to create a regal entrance towards the backyard. The way to the garden should be attractive, so that everyone wants to arrive and discover what lays hidden behind the house. You don’t have to use both sides of the house to create a pathway, though, so keep the side that benefits from the most sun for plants and flowers. A good idea is to grow some vegetables down the side (why not try mushroom growing – see Rootlab). Make sure to position large windows that will let you benefit from their view, while you are inside the house, as well.
Create Different Levels and Multiple Areas
If you want your garden to stand out, you need to put in some work. Depending on the size of your back yard, you may be able to create various areas that will maximize not only the use of it, but also its beauty, according to Houzz. Adding at least one level, is always a nice way to go. You can choose one of the corners and build a platform where people can sunbathe during the day and have a cold drink in the evening. A determined space for sports activities is always nice, as well. You can place a net to play volleyball or badminton, or you can go for a ping-pong table if you prefer. Just remember to take it inside the garage or the shed every night, if you don’t want it to get ruined by Mother Nature.
If you are so lucky as to have a garden, you need to plant at least a few vegetables and some herbs. Eating well is one of the most important things in life, and fresh vegetables are part of any valid diet, anywhere around the world.
