AZ landscapers

Part of the beauty behind the concept of separate "rooms" in a house is that each unit is unique unto itself. Consequently, you can install a component in the kitchen that looks great there, without worrying that it would look out of place if viewed from the bedroom. The same is true for outdoor living spaces.

Having separate outdoor living spaces allows you to create mini-landscape designs (each somewhat different from the rest) for each of them. Not that you shouldn't still strive for unity across your landscape design, as a whole. But the more successful you are in physically separating one outdoor living space from another, the more flexibility you have to diversify without creating a hodgepodge.

For instance, you may wish to include a storage bin for towels in the pool area. Such an element would be functional and would look fine there. But the problem is, you might not wish to view it from another part of the yard dedicated, say, to meditating in naturalistic surroundings. The answer: screen off the pool area with a tall hedge or fence, effectively creating a "room" separate from the rest of the yard. You may also want to consider if you need a area for a swing set or a trampoline. If so you may want to consider some type of a surface under these other than grass. Some people alo like to add a horse shoe pit in the backyard for adults to use. When you turn your yard into more than just another project to work on during the weekend you will get a lot more use from it.

Depending on the type of backyard landscape you decide on for your needs you may also have a bit of maitenance to do to keep it looking good. Obviouslly if you have a large grass area that will require mowing. Depending on what part of the country you live in you may also need to overseed in the winter in order to have a yard. The types of plants and trees you plant will also need to be taken into consederation when thinking about how much work you want to have to do.

If you can it is always a good idea to consult a landscape company for ideas. Any good landscaper will have unlimited ideas for you to consider.
