3 Great Ideas for Creating Your Own Backyard Staycation Destination

Wondering how you can entertain every member of the family? Give your family a comfortable and exciting place to relax and play just steps away from your back door. Here’s how you can create your very own staycation destination in your backyard.

1. Add a Swimming Pool

Feel as if you’re at your favorite resort any day of the week by installing a custom swimming pool in your backyard. Since this is a big job, it’s best to consult professional pool builders to get the job done right. This is a project that adults and kids will love but be sure to add upgraded features like a pool grotto, tanning shelf and maybe even a waterslide to maximize the fun.

2. Install a Spa

Who can resist the allure of a relaxing spa? A soak in a hot tub can truly melt away the stress of the day. A spa can be included during your pool installation process or you can create a separate spa area if you prefer a self-contained spa unit. Pool and spa experts will help you select the right choice for your family’s needs and budget.

3. Create a Fire Pit

A fire pit area is simple to install – you can make your own pit using gravel and concrete pavers or you can purchase a unique fire pit sphere but be sure to place your chosen fire element in an open, level area with no overhanging elements. Once your fire element is in place, all that’s left for you to do is set out some Charming Bench garden benches to give every member of the family a cozy spot to enjoy the warmth of the fire and the warmth of good company.

Spending time in the great outdoors is beneficial to the mental and physical health of adults and kids of all ages. Follow these tips and you’ll transform your home’s backyard into your family’s go-to spot for rest and play.
