Used to be that people wanted some room for a small garden where they
could grow tomatoes or maybe a swingset for the kids. Some even thought
about room to plant a few fruit trees. Today more people are choosing
to turn their backyards into full out waterparks and outdoor living
areas. Some want a place where the kids can have fun while under the
watchful eye of mom and dad, while others would just rather have the
fun of a park without losing their privacy. Here are some of the latest
trends;
Consider This:
Rock Your Space
Don't let little things like
space get in your way. Go vertical with huge boulders, rock and brick.
Shape waterfalls, waterslides and just about anything else you can
think of.
Outdoor Kitchens
The kitchen
may be the most important room in the house, but it's also becoming the
center of the outdoor living space. Whether part of a patio or bar
area, or an all together separate space with a fireplace and ceiling,
Today's outdoor kitchens are getting to be as nice (and expensive) as
their indoor counterparts.
Pools, Waterfalls, and Water Features
Remember
that little four-foot wide blue plastic wading pool you played in as a
kid? You could use that to slide down some of today's waterslides.
Fifteen foot waterfalls, rope swings, hot tubs that flow into the pool
from five feet above, fiber optic lighting systems, and audio
powerhouses that turn your home waterpark into a concert venue.
PlaySpaces
Kids don't just play catch in the backyard anymore...they want to whole amusement park. And now with specialized theme scapes...they can have it.
Barkitecture
Has your backyard gone to the dogs? Fido would love it. Doesn't Fido need his own space too?
