Once upon a time, you discovered your dream home, fell in love with it at first sight, and lived happily ever after. It may seem like a fairy tale, but what occurred is that your family grew, and your house and lawn shrunk.
Did you see all the beautiful oases in your neighborhood, and did you ever want something like that in your backyard? If the answer is yes, you are at the right place. We have solutions for all your problems, and we will teach you how you can make the best of your property and turn it into a mini oasis.
Of course, here you can find a list of a few things you can do on your own, like a DIY project, and a few things you will need professional help with, so let’s start.
- Water Feature
- Firepit as a gathering place

Water Feature- DIY project
If putting together a water feature in a day is about your pace, this is the project for you. This fountain is built around a stone, out of which water will flow into a gravel-filled reservoir below and then back up through the rock using a pump. You may either seek a pre-drilled rock from a local stone provider or drill a hole in it yourself with a rotary hammer drill. Best of all, because it was created without a collection pond, this water feature takes extremely little upkeep. Keeping it out of the sun prevents algae development and keeps the water cleaner.
Fire Pit as a gathering space
Another place where you and your friends can enjoy gathering is around a fire pit. A fire pit or outdoor fireplace might be just what your yard needs to convert it from a simple yard to a paradise. Building a fire pit is simple, and various DIY businesses provide all of the supplies you’ll need to complete this lovely feature. A fire in your yard may bring warmth and comfort to those cold. Even as the weather drops, your visitors and family members may want to remain outside by the fire.
Avoid store-bought replicas, which are frequently fragile; for roughly the same amount, you can make your brick version. It’s simple to clean, requires little care, and lasts a long time. A project like this also serves as an excellent introduction to brickwork. While it will take a few days to complete, much of that time will be spent preparing the footing and mortar. Check your local fire pit rules before you begin; they may need the fire pit to be a specific number of feet away from any structures or overhanging trees.
Safty
If you decide to create a firepit, be sure that small children understand the risks that a fire can provide. Consider keeping fire safety equipment, such as a fire blanket and an extinguisher, nearby in case of an accident. Before you call it a night, make sure you extinguish the fire.
