5 Outdoor Projects you should Start in 2017

Looking for an outdoor project to tackle in 2017? If you’ve got an itch to make some improvements to your outdoor space, pick something off this list of 5 outdoor projects you should start in 2017.

Garden with a Purpose

Build a garden unlike the rest. Only plant flowers and edibles which are local to your state. Or, plant flowers that attract bees and butterflies. A final gardening option could be to plant foods like cabbages, carrots, tomatoes, and peppers so you can save money on groceries while gardening.

Create a Game Court

A new trend in backyard landscaping is to create an adult-play space. The most common example is a horseshoe pit, but why stop there? Create a bocce ball pit, a regulation cornhole court, or your very own beach volleyball court!

Build a Fire Pit

There’s nothing like a backyard fire, and with the construction materials available today, it’s very easy to put one in. Whether you dig out a pit yourself in your backyard, or you have a professional build one into your deck, a fire pit is a great outdoor project you should start in 2017.

Construct a Deck

Speaking of decks… if you don’t have one, then 2017 is the perfect year to build one. If building a deck isn’t something you want to tackle alone, call a local Maryland deck company for a free consultation and to discuss your options.

Redo a Path

Do you have a walkway around your home that is long over-due for some upgrading? Replace your walkway with large stepping stones and then fill around the stones with a ground cover like creeping phlox. Or, instead of a plant, fill around your stepping stones with smaller, river rocks and paint some of them with a glow-in-the-dark paint for night-time visibility!
