“What are we going to do with the backyard?” Have you been asking that question during your homebuying search? Making good use of your backyard is one of the best ways to help turn your new house into a home. If you’ve been struggling to find ideas for what you can do to make your new Utah home’s backyard pop. We want to help, by giving you four ideas of what you can do to take your backyard up to the next level. 
Create An Outdoor Reading Nook
There are few simpler pleasures than reading a book on a lazy summer day. Not to mention giving you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of feeding your mind and giving your body some much needed Vitamin D. An outdoor reading nook can be the perfect addition to your backyard. While it might not be advised to put your bookshelves outside, you could set up a dedicated corner to this lovely summer past time.
Set Up a Firepit
One of the best parts of camping is when you gather around the campfire in the evening. Whether to roast marshmallows, swap stories, or just talk about life. Evenings responsibly enjoyed by firelight are an unforgettable experience. Why not bring that experience home by building a firepit in your backyard? Allowing you to have all the enjoyment of a campfire, without the expenses that come with a full camping trip.
Create An Outdoor Kitchen
If you think that a firepit doesn’t quite have the versatility that you’re looking for in your backyard why not consider making an outdoor kitchen instead? Make the most out of those lingering spring and summer evenings by having meals outdoors cooked either via pizza oven or grill. Both of which can be used for more than the traditional steak, burgers, or pizza. This project is also a great way to conserve water by reducing the amount of lawn dedicated to decorative grass.
An Outdoor Theater Space
The era of streaming has really maximized the amount of entertainment you can bring into your home. Why not create a space where you can enjoy entertainment under the stars by creating an outdoor theater space? Watch live sports, revisit a childhood favorite, or that blockbuster you put off until it was available at home. You’ll have the pick of the litter with a projector, streaming box, and screen set up.
These are only a few of the ways that you can make your new Utah home’s backyard your own. Maybe you now have some ideas of your own. Why not take those ideas and see how they can look in a Garbett Home? Check out one of the model homes for our single family communities in Midvale and Murray today!
