Ideas for Building the Ultimate Backyard Oasis

Austin, Texas - Whether entertaining friends and family or unwinding after a long day, the ultimate backyard retreat should be an extension of your home. Whatever your lifestyle, here are a few ideas for building the ultimate backyard retreat.

For Entertaining — Design a flexible space to accommodate a range of gatherings with:
· Different spaces for dining, relaxing, visiting and cooking.
· Shelter from the elements with an arbor, retractable awning or patio umbrellas.
· Don’t forget about outdoor storage!

For Relaxing — Create an outdoor oasis that you love spending time in with:

For Playing — Build a space that is fun for the whole family that includes:
· Outdoor recreation such as a swimming pool, sports area or zip line.
· A kids-only area with a tree house or a backyard clubhouse.

· A food prep area, closed storage, grill with side burner, refrigerator and sink.
· Outdoor wood-burning oven and/or smoker.
