• Plant a garden of fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
• Create the outdoor dining space of your summer barbecue dreams.
• Establish some outdoor seating with benches.
• If you have established trees, try adding a hammock or a swing to your space for some relaxation time. If you have no trees, a bench swing is a great alternative.
• If you have a green thumb, creating a greenhouse in your yard is a great way to ensure you can take care of your plants all year round, no matter the weather.
• Give your shed some TLC and a fresh coat of paint. Feeling bold? Try a fun pop of color to brighten the space.
• If you don’t know where to start, add a fire pit somewhere in your yard and make it the focal point. After that, you can start planning the rest of your outdoor space. 
• Consider adding hardscaping to your outdoor areas, such as retaining walls, pathways, or patios.
