If you want to enhance your outdoor living space as well as the interior, there are countless ways to add functionality and aesthetic appeal with DIY building projects. You can transform an empty backyard into a custom oasis in a variety of ways.
To get started, here are some ideas for backyard building projects to try:
Whether you want to grow herbs, veggies, flowers or a mixture of all three, raised garden beds are a perfect way to start your backyard garden. Constructing garden beds with wood is a simple building project, only requiring a few basic tools and lumber. Add soil and your choice of plants for a dedicated gardening space you can use all year.
If you need stylish shelter in your backyard, consider building your own pergola. You can construct a functional pergola during a single weekend using any number of free plans available online. Or, for a more out-of-the-box solution, try a DIY pergola kit including full project instructions and materials. Regardless of what you use to build your pergola, you’ll transform your backyard and functional space with timeless charm.
Outdoor cooking and dining is the perfect way to get the most out of your backyard. What’s even greater is that it’s simple to DIY. You can build a full outdoor kitchen complete with grill, prep space and storage. Or, simply create a dining area to enjoy meals outdoors.
Try combining an outdoor table with modular bench seating with hidden storage space. Build a serving cart or prep table to go with your grill and have everything you need for an outdoor feast in your backyard.
Originally from upstate New York, I moved to Park City soon after college to spread my wings and explore the western United States, taking full advantage of the world class golf courses, beautiful mountains and the greatest snow on earth. 20 years later I am grateful to still call Park City home.
Client experience is my #1 objective. I have a passion for helping people realize their perfect Park City experience. My 22 years of resort management provided me with tremendous opportunity to work with so many different people from all over the world, delivering the services and experiences they desired and facilitating them to take advantage of all Park City has to offer.
Having played, worked and raised three children in Park City, my knowledge runs deep of the community and its surrounding areas, and all they have to offer. I am confident I can help you to find your next dream home in this wonderful community.
