PRODUCT INFO
There has been increased interest in spending more time in the backyard using it as a multifunctional living space as opposed to just an expanse of lawn. There are a number of reasons for this. Individuals planning on residing in a residence over the long term are giving increased consideration to their yards instead of being just another lawn in the neighbourhood. Travel has become more costly with more homeowners spending time and money on their homes as opposed to travel. Yards are becoming private paradises that allow one to escape and find a place of refuge in an increasingly busy world. Homeowners want to relax in their backyard instead of having to go out to mow and water the lawn.Â
Elements such as patios, decks, and various architectural structures like a gazebo or pergola and cozy little niches all interconnected via pathways have become typical in modern backyard planning on the Prairies. Focal points such as a statue, pond or fountain illuminated with appropriate lighting can also form part of the plan. Using a landscape designer can help homeowners determine what prairie landscape style suits them best. What type of landscape style defines your home and backyard?
