A vacation sounds wonderful until the price tag appears. Between flights, hotels, meals, and entertainment, even a short getaway can leave a serious dent in the budget. Fortunately, a relaxing retreat may sit just a few steps beyond the back door.
A thoughtfully designed backyard can create the same sense of escape people seek when they travel. The sound of flowing water, comfortable seating, lush greenery, and soft lighting all help transform an ordinary outdoor space into a personal sanctuary. The best part is that many of these upgrades cost far less than a family vacation.
