Create a deck

Firepit
Fire pits cannot be left out, especially for nights out in the backyard. This can be done by building stones to create the pit or buying a do-it-yourself fire pit that can easily be set up.
Eating space

The greener, the better
Make use of natural green plants for beautification like grass or clover to give it a serene feel. Clover seeds are used in creating lawns, can thrive with weed, and repels insects. It is a good horticultural choice for the ground. Besides, mowing the clover plant is not necessary.
Use ground covers
Ground cover is a good investment. It saves time and energy you put into watering and mowing your plants.
