If you feel like your backyard is underutilized, all you need is a little elbow grease and some landscaping products to transform it into an exciting outdoor space. Plus, upgrading your yard provides many benefits.

3 Reasons to Landscape Your Backyard

1. Enjoy Entertaining

If you have a landscaped backyard, you can hold parties and events outside for your friends and family. Create an outdoor home theater where you and your guests can watch sports or movies. Include seating where you can eat a nice meal while you sit and talk.

2. Help the Environment

Planting native species in your yard preserves their role in the ecosystem while beautifying your home. Building a retaining wall can help with erosion, which will reduce the amount of runoff in waterways.

If you plant flowers, bees will use the pollen to make honey and feed their hive. Bees are currently losing 97% of their habitats to cities, so creating an urban oasis for them is one way to give back to the Earth.

3. Spend More Time Outside

Going outside for even a few minutes a day has been shown to improve mental health. The only way for your body to naturally produce vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones, is to be out in the sun. Landscaping products, like a beautiful water feature you can meditate in front of or a stone bench you can read on, can coax you outdoors.
