Concrete is a common fixture in most backyards, right after grass. It provides you with options and opportunities to better use your outdoor space.
Utilizing your backyard can make your home feel bigger, airier, and more entertaining. Even if your yard isn’t in ideal shape, a little bit of planning and preparation can make it livable – and there’s no better time than Spring.
Concrete is an amazing option for improving your backyard space, so today we’re sharing 4 ways you can use concrete in your backyard right away. So we are sharing today the Top 4 Uses for Concrete in Your Backyard:
- Patio Space – this is the most common use of concrete, and for good reason. A concrete patio space allows you the freedom to place some furniture or a lounge chair out there and enjoy your time without damaging grass by placing furniture on your sod. A concrete patio can be spiced up with acid staining or epoxy sealing to create a new look. Experiment with different sizes and configurations to meet your family’s needs.
- Utility Pads – Like a tiny patio, utility pads can make your home look more planned, expensive, and useful. A small concrete pad to house your garbage cans, for instance, can prevent yard decay and garbage cans tipping over. Or use a small utility concrete pad for your barbecue grill and your next barbecue will be even more impressive.
- Stepping Stones or Walkways – Do you have a path from your front to backyard? Or a route you take from your back door to the garden? Placing concrete pavers, stepping stones, or a sidewalk can make a serious difference, not just in appearance but also function. During winter months it can make accessing your backyard a little easier, as you can shovel or identify the path more clearly. This is an easy way to add some more value or curb appeal to your home in an affordable DIY weekend project.
- Sport Court – If you want to be a serious hit with the neighborhood kids, adding a concrete sport court can turn you into the coolest yard on the block. Basketball, four-square, tennis, pickleball, or even just a cool, separated space for hanging out is always preferred and used by kids and teens.
If your yard could use some sprucing up, consider one of these concrete additions. If you have an existing patio or sport court, we can help with repair or extension to create the ideal backyard you want.
