As the warmer weather approaches and spring and summer is just around the corner, so are the outdoor events - such as graduation parties, family bbqs, and more! These fun events not only bring life long memories, they also bring an abundance of photo opportunities. Is your backyard photo ready? Let’s talk ways you can make your space the perfect backdrop for your life celebrations!

Go Green

One of the first things that people notice about outdoor spaces is the look of your lawn. Unsightly dead patches of grass and a poorly manicured lawn can ruin a photo. If maintaining a healthy lawn is something that you struggle with, artificial turf/synthetic grass may be a good option! Not only is it extremely low maintenance, it also can save you on water costs.

Incorporate Flowers

There are few things more picturesque than vibrant flowers! Not only do they make a great backdrop for your photos, they also bring color and personality to your outdoor space. Consider adding flowerbeds to your outdoor space to beautify it! If you already have added flowers to your space, consider giving your florals a face lift by adding retaining walls or additional landscape to really level it up.

What about Hardscapes?

Adding a patio or deck not only gives you more living space in your backyard, it also can make it look much more “complete” visually. Styling your patio and deck with outdoor furniture, surrounding landscaping, hanging flowers and plants, and outdoor fireplaces will help you go the extra mile in creating photo opportunities! Taking care in making walkways to your patio picturesque with carefully selected pavers and well maintained paths is another way to make these spaces really pop on camera.
