Is the backyard or patio of your Encinitas home small? Don’t let that stop you from transforming it and planning summer events at your Encinitas home.
Don’t let a smaller backyard or patio area stop you from hosting outdoor summer events at your home in Encinitas. Some of these tips from an Encinitas Realtor will allow you to transform your backyard and patio so that you can make the most out of the summer in California.
- Space Planning – The best first step you can take to maximizing your outdoor space is planning. This may include planning to eliminate a large garden that is taking up space, figuring out where you will include large bushes and trees along the perimeter of your fencing and how to place your furniture.
- Concrete Seating – One method to being more space-sufficient is to include concrete seating that is poured in place in order to frame the area. Adding some comfortable padding will make this area more comfortable, but also interchangeable for seating. You can also add concrete “built-ins” that can function as a table or a cooler or a firepit among many other purposes.
- Consolidate Outdoor Needs – In the instance of one home in California featured in Better Homes and Gardens, the removal of a tool shed added square footage and a kitchen was added to the corner of the home with the addition of a big-screen television. An overhang was able to block glare on the TV and made it excellent for hosting events outdoors to watch baseball or football games while grilling or barbecuing.
If you find that even with these additions your backyard would be too small it may be time to consider looking at homes for sale in Encinitas that can suit your outdoor needs this summer.
