Make Your Backyard Oasis a Reflection of You
B
elieve it or not, one of the most important places in your home is not found on the inside, but rather the outside. Because the backyard is becoming a place for many homeowners to spend time with their family and guests, hardscapes are becoming increasingly popular. After a full work week cooped up in office buildings, most homeowners crave being outdoors, and this is why it is so important to create a backyard oasis in which you can feel comfortable.
Aside from entertaining with guests, homeowners are now using their backyard oasis as a place to promote mental well-being and increase the harmony in their own lives. What better way to add some serenity to your life, than by creating your own meditation garden? Here are some tips on transforming your outdoor space into a backyard oasis mediation garden Simple Planting: When it comes to meditation gardens, less is certainly more. Choose from a variety of elegant, low-maintenance trees, hedges and plants. Hedges are a great way to naturally create a noise-reduction barrier, as
well as offer seclusion from outside distractions. Stones: Stones and river rock are a magnificent way to add creativity and functionality to your backyard oasis. Consider using river rock and stones for accenting a garden pond, or for creating a simplistic seating area. Koi Ponds: Koi ponds are a lovely way to create balance in your hardscape, as well as in your life. The time spent relaxing as you watch the coy fish play and move effortlessly through the water will help you regain peace of mind. Outdoor Fireplace: An outdoor fireplace is a wonderful way to naturally provide warmth on a chilly day while you enjoy your daily meditation. This is also the perfect place to incorporate some of the aforementioned river rock and stones for optimum atmosphere. Hardscapes are a wonderful place where a homeowner’s true creativity and uniqueness can come shining through. It is imperative that the contractor you choose to embark on this project with you be both knowledgeable in the construction of your backyard oasis and also interested in collaborating with you to realize your vision.
