Do you want to spend more time with your family and friends outside rather than huddled around your mobile devices inside your house? Do you want to add more to your bare backyard than a picnic table?
Alternatively, you may want an outdoor space to meet without worrying about Covid safely.
Adding a patio or enhancing an outdoor living space allows you to enjoy summer parties while reducing everyone’s Covid risk. Plus, the value of your home rises when you add specific outdoor living enhancements to your backyard.
What Are Outdoor Living Enhancements?
If you enjoy spending time in your backyard, it’s time to improve your lifestyle with new outdoor living enhancements. Outdoor living enhancements include adding walkways, patios, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and outdoor living and dining spaces.
You can divide your backyard into different spaces connected with walkways. And you can spend most of your weekends outside enjoying your hardscapes when you add covers to protect you from the weather.

7 Outdoor Living Enhancements to Improve Your Lifestyle in Central VA
Now’s the time to plan your outdoor living enhancements before the official start of summer. Here are seven outdoor living enhancements that will improve your Central Virginia lifestyle this summer:
- Patios and terraces: Did you know that you can have more than one patio or terrace in your backyard?
If you already have a patio, it can be extended to meet your summer entertainment needs. You can also add a patio area by your pool or a quiet spot away from the house.
You can add a terrace to your urban backyard or rooftop. If you have a tiny backyard, you may want to convert it into a terrace to entertain friends during the spring, summer, and fall months.
- Outdoor structures: You may want to add fencing around your pool area or a pergola to your patio to provide some shade.
Arbors greet friends and neighbors in the front yard or act as a gateway to your backyard. Grow flowering vines to add color and contrast to your arbor.
- Water features: Nothing spells summer fun like a backyard pool if you have kids. You can host pool parties or swim laps every day.
On the flip side, you may want a pond that creates interest and life when you add koi.
Add a fountain for the sound of moving water, which can double as a focal point from your driveway or garden.
