Summer may be winding down but with the right outdoor space, you can create a vacation feel that lasts forever! We talked to the outdoor living experts at System Pavers for tips on how to transform your yard into a place where you can get away from it all – right outside your door.

Hardscape Makes Life Easier

In Texas, durable hardscape elements like paver patios, walkways, and pool decks are essential for withstanding fluctuating weather conditions, including heat and humidity. Thanks to their incredible durability, paving stones are an excellent material choice that’s nearly effortless to maintain. This ensures an easy-to-enjoy space that can be shared for generations. Create even more of a vacation-like feel by installing a pergola over your patio. The added shade and protection from the elements will add definition to your yard while allowing friends and family to seamlessly enjoy indoor and outdoor living.

Embrace Year-Round Functionality

Maximize the way you can use your outdoors all year by integrating features that cater to different seasons. Fire pits offer cozy places to get together during cooler months while outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands allow you to get outside and make the most of Houston’s typically mild winter days.

Give Yourself the Gift of Time with Artificial Turf

One of the best parts of going on vacation is ditching your daily to-do list! Take lawn care off yours entirely by installing artificial turf. Your yard will stay vibrant all year, without anyone lifting a finger. No more watering. No more weeding. No more mowing. And no more potentially toxic fertilizers and pesticides. Just a lush green lawn that makes your home look like a five-star resort throughout every season. 

Create Ambiance with Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting can go a long way is setting the mood and extending the usability of your yard after dark. The right lighting can turn your backyard into a magical evening retreat that allows you to enjoy your space long after the sun sets. Plus, you’ll enhance safety and security around your home. By highlighting the unique features of your house’s architectural features and foliage, professionally installed lighting creates an inviting area where you can enjoy Houston’s warm nights to their fullest.

Prioritize Your Playtime

When you think of your favorite childhood vacations, outdoor activities may be some of your most memorable moments. Recreate this feel by adding plenty of entertainment options to your yard. Timeless backyard games like ring toss, cornhole or lawn bowling can bring loved ones together with a little friendly competition. Or plan an outdoor movie night by getting a projector and screen and enjoying a classic movie or two. By having more reasons to get outdoors and unwind, you’ll discover just how easy it is to take a quick reset and reconnect with family and friends.
