Home remodeling projects not only beautify the interior of your home, but can also make your outdoor area look amazing. One often underutilized yet highly effective remodeling component is masonry, which can be applied in the following ways to create the backyard of your dreams. 

How Can Masonry Make Your Yard More Attractive?

1. Retaining Wall

Though retaining walls are often built for the practical purpose of improving landscape stability and curbing erosion, they make attractive home remodeling additions as well. You can tier your garden on the wall to create depth and contrast. A retaining wall can host other features as well, like benches or flower boxes.

2. Walkway

A meandering stone walkway not only looks charming, but also provides an even path to your home, which is helpful for older residents and guests. Plus, you have plenty of paver options: granite, flagstone, slate, and many other types of natural stone.

3. Patio

If you lack room in your home for entertaining, build a patio on which to lounge. Patios can be made from many different types of natural stone depending on your taste. You can also use concrete, which is cost-effective in case you’re improving your outdoor area on a budget. To ensure you and your guests remain comfortable during the summer, look into patio covers such as canopies and pergolas.
