Redefine Your Outdoor Space This Summer
Introduction
I didn’t have a lawn or even a backyard until I was in my late 20s. I lived in an apartment building that had no grass at all, so when we moved into our first home, I was overjoyed with the idea of having a patch of green for my kids to play on. As it turns out, though, having a lawn isn’t always necessary. You can still have an inviting and stunning outdoor space without planting grass or adding greenery—all you need is a little creativity and some new ideas!
The temperature is rising, which means it’s time to set up your outdoor space for the summer season. When you think of outdoor living spaces, you likely envision a lush lawn and beautiful greenery surrounding your home. But that doesn’t have to be the case!
If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got some great tips for creating an outdoor space that looks as good as it feels.
First of all, summer is the best time for getting outside. Not only does this give you more opportunities for fun activities with your friends and family members, but it also means that it’s easier than ever before to set up an attractive outdoor living space in your yard or garden area. If you’ve been thinking about creating a new patio area or planting some flowers around your home but haven’t gotten around doing either yet then now is definitely the time!
There are many ways in which homeowners can improve their yards during warmer months: adding plants; making use of lights; installing tables/chairs/sofas etcetera – these will all help create beautiful backyards worth spending time at during warm weather months such as these ones ahead (or even colder ones too).
You can still have a stunning outdoor space without grass and landscaping. Here are some ideas for creating an inviting lawn-free outdoor space.

- Create a new wall: A wall is the perfect way to separate your yard from the neighbors’ or create a private patio area with just a few bricks and mortar. If you’re looking for something more substantial than brick, consider using cinder blocks or even concrete blocks (which will last longer).
- Create a dining area: If you have enough room in your yard, consider adding permanent seating around the perimeter of your lawnless section so that guests can sit down with their plates of food as they enjoy their meal outside with you! This way everyone gets to enjoy the fresh air without having to worry about getting dirty while eating or drinking wine out on porches.
- Create sitting areas with furniture: You don’t necessarily need grass underneath chairs either! As long as there’s somewhere comfortable for people who’d rather sit than stand after eating dinner outside during summertime weather conditions–and maybe even nap afterward before heading back inside again–you’ll be good.”

- Use a wall to create an outdoor dining area, or even an outdoor sitting area. You can even use it to create an entire garden! Or use it as part of your water feature, with plants growing up the sides of the wall and cascading down into a pool below. If you want your yard to feel more like a resort than your average suburban backyard, consider adding some fire pits or planters that are big enough for people to sit on top of them–they’ll add character while still being functional enough for guests who want somewhere comfortable yet rustic-looking in which they can relax while enjoying their cocktails (or wine).

- Choose a table and chairs that are both sturdy and comfortable. If you’re using an old table, refinish it with polyurethane or paint (if you’re going for a rustic look). If you don’t have room for an extra piece of furniture in your yard, use folding chairs instead of stools or benches.
- Arrange the seating so that everyone has a view of what’s happening outside–you can even hang up curtains on one side if needed! You should also make sure there are enough lights around so guests can see their food better–and don’t forget about overhead lighting!
- Plants can help create privacy while adding color and texture around tablescapes; try placing them on opposite sides of each other so they’ll balance out each other’s shapes when viewed together from afar.*
