Most homeowners invest a lot of time and money into making the inside of their homes look just the way they want them to look. They also take a good deal of care making their front yards look neat and beautiful too. However, a lot of homeowners in Westport and all throughout Southeastern Massachusetts often neglect their backyards. Too often they become a playground for children a place for pets to run around or a spot for gardening. They just don’t give enough thought to the idea that they could be more organized and expand their living space to the outdoors and learn to enjoy their own backyard.
It All Starts With a Patio
The best way to start on your journey toward enjoying your backyard more is to begin by building a simple patio. A patio is sort of a blank canvas that can be turned into anything you want. Simple additions, such as a small retaining wall, can be used to add definition and create separate areas for different activities in your backyard, giving you the opportunity to have it all – even if you have a small backyard. Space for your dog to run, room for the kids to hang out and even a special spot for you to spend time grilling out in the open air. Whatever your interests, needs and desires, it all starts with a patio.

#1 – Colorful Decor
You can add touches of color to totally customize your new space.

Cushions, pillows and even a matching throw that can be stashed away in an ottoman or deck box for cool, breezy nights, are all a great way to add a punch of color without investing a lot of money.
#2 – Light Up the Night
You can also dress up your brand new Patio on a Pallet space with some lights to extend your use of the new outdoor living area well beyond sunny summer days. Consider adding low voltage landscape lighting around the perimeter of the patio and hang some string lights above and around the patio to make it more festive and exciting. Larger and brighter lights may be in order if you will be doing a lot of outdoor cooking and entertaining.
#3 – Outdoor Kitchen
If your primary goal in purchasing outdoor patio kits was to create a space to cook and eat outdoors, you might want to start thinking about building an outdoor kitchen. J&J Materials has some beautiful built-in kitchen cabinets that can be used to house grills, cooktops, dishwashers, refrigerators or anything else you might want to use to cook in your own backyard. Consider adding cupboards to store dishes, cooking utensils and other necessities. Plan on adding an eating area, either as bar seating around the built-in cooking space counter, a beautiful table set on another Patio on a Pallet or picnic tables set up out on the lawn.
#4 – Fire Pit
One of the hottest – no pun intended – trends right now is to add a fire pit to your patio paver kits. You can purchase patio pavers for sale that match the pavers used to create your Patio on a Pallet or you can purchase a fire pit kit from J&J Materials. You might be surprised to see just how easy it is to add a fire pit to your new outdoor patio kits, allowing you to get busy roasting marshmallows or toasting hot dogs over the open fire in no time!
#5 – Living Room
Start thinking about your brand new outdoor living space as a living room and you’ll open yourself up to a whole new way of thinking about furniture and how the space could be used for entertaining or just hanging out. If you set up your outdoor furniture the way that you would a living room, with all of the couches, love seats and chairs facing one another toward the center of the room, you’ll find that you spend more time there and use that space like an extension of your home.
