Beautiful Backyard Designs: Why put awnings!

Finally the architectural design of the house has carried over to the outdoor space design of the backyard areas. The living space of the house now continues to the patio usable space next to the house. Depending on where you are located, seasonal or year around outdoor space has become part of the overall designed space to compliment and coordinate with the interior rooms.

The interior design of comfort and detail has carried over to the outdoor designs of furniture and space in a natural setting.Outdoor design is being greatly influenced by the indoor design standards raising the overall design concept of the home. Outdoor space is defined, shaped and limited by environmental structures like landscape areas, fences, patios, gazebos, arbors, trellises and furnishings. The outdoor usable patio area when enclosed by a weather proof roof is further defined as a open room rather than an open space and also extends the usability ofthe patio during inclement weather. A roof like structure can be less expensive than building a porch by attaching a retractable awning canopy over the patio area with little maintenance. The patio location should allow easy access to and from the indoor kitchen areas so the flow of people between is natural and direct without walking through another room or space.


The flow of traffic will depend on the exact attachment and coverage ofthe patio retractable awning and the proximity between the patio and house.  Indoor features like sliding doors, French doors and kitchen location will determine the access and location of the patio & retractable awning and its attachment to the house. The awning comes in several standard sizes and numerous patterns and colors. The water resistant canopy offers protection from the rain and UV rays to the users and furniture for many seasons. Most standard canopy opening and closing functions are done by a manual crank with a handle that fold away out of site. There areretractable awning operational options for larger or custom made awnings that include an electric open/close control with or without a remote and weather sensor awning opening when rain is detected. These options are costly but maybe offset by their ease of operation. Awning accessories include valances, complete side screening and or drop curtains for more insect and weather protection.

The beautiful patioretractable awning offers many benefits to the home occupants including protection from inclement and rainy weather, extends use of the patio /deck area, blocks health damaging Ultra Violet rays, controls amount of sunlight, shields undesirable views and reflected glare, reduces fading and discoloration of drapes, carpet and paintings and can reduce sun exposed interior heat gain by 70% to cut your cooling bills to name a few. Besides the functionality of theretractable awning they also have improved the quality and options of color, patterns and size (both width and extended length) of the canopy material resulting in an attractive addition to your outdoor living.

Backyard Landscape Designs - Around Hot Tubs

Why does the Backyard Landscape Designs one does to surround a hot tub differ so greatly from ordinary landscape planning? Perhaps it’s because you have a raised hot tub. Sure, you can just put down a layer of mulch, but it will be painfully obvious just how little you spent and how little effort you put into your so-called landscaping.

To achieve an attractive appearance, the landscaping of a hot tub area doesn’t require a complex design. You can just buy a few handsome planter boxes or flowerpots to place around the outside of the tub and fill them with lovely bushes and blossoms. Next, choose a couple of larger planters and put one on each side of the stairs. Finally, set two slender miniature trees in those pots. That will create an appealing frame for your hot tub.

The first step in designing your dream oasis is to determine the best location for your spa. Consider the view, ease of access and privacy. Locating your hot tub close to your house makes using it much easier in cold weather. Also include a pathway with lighting for night use and a surround of some sort for privacy.
You probably want privacy in your hot tub landscape design. A stand of bamboo or hedges, a wall or fence, or even a gazebo can do the job nicely. If protection from rain or hot sun will be an issue, consider an enclosure with a roof. To avoid extra cleaning, do not place large plants or trees too near the spa. And consider how the seasons will affect your view and privacy when choosing plants.
When it comes to the area around your hot tub, it’s important to have landscaping ideas for privacy. One way to landscape around your hot tub, with privacy in mind, is a screened in gazebo. A gazebo will help to make the hot tub the focal point of your backyard, while allowing you to comfortably use your hot tub in rainy weather. To make it look nice, you can add a couple of simple planter boxes around the outside of the gazebo. If you’re not a gardener, you could choose to plant some low maintenance silk flowers instead.
Ideas for landscaping around hot tubs are plentiful, so I can’t list them all, but one of my favorites is an Asian-inspired backyard hot tub. Building a pergola creates a pattern of shade and sun and develops the Asian look. Another idea is to build permanent cedar planters around the tub. Beautiful plants and trees can be put in these planters, as long as they fit your local climate. This trick gives a sense of permanency and makes it look as if your hot tub is built-in.
The perfect hot tub would be one that is built into the ground next to an in-ground swimming pool. To enhance the beauty of the hot tub, it would be ideal to have tropical plants surrounding the area to create a little jungle. You don’t even need to plant them in the ground. Just use nice flowerpots and place them around the area in two clusters of three to create a well-balanced look. By using different sizes of pots and plants in each cluster, you can create a terraced look. Popular plants for this type of setting are hibiscus, palm bushes, and ivy that can flow around the pots to create a lush landscaping.
There are so many ideas for landscaping around hot tubs that this only touches on the many possibilities. However whenever landscaping around a hot tub you must remember to still allow for the drain of the hot tub to be open. You wouldn’t want to flood all your lovely landscaping while refilling the hot tub. Remember that you can be as creative as you want. Make it your own backyard oasis.
