Even small changes to your yard can make a big impact on how much you and your family enjoy spending time at home and doing what we call ‘backyarding’.” The first step is to decide which backyard style suits you best and understanding how you’ll use your dream yard, according to Kiser. Here are style suggestions from the TurfMutt Foundation to kick off your creativity in creating a yard style all your own: •Zen Garden. Serenity is the name of the game with a zen garden. Elements could include a relaxing water feature, easyto-maintain plants and shrubs, strategically placed lighting, and a hammock swinging gently in the breeze between two trees. •Play Yard. A play yard has a single mission: to have fun with family and friends. Create zones for all of the activities your family may want to tackle. Have a budding soccer star? Use the grassy area for a practice fi eld. Need a place to cool off ? Think about adding a pool or splash pad. Have kids and pets that need a place to get out the wiggles? Add a sandbox for digging. Remember, live plants, shrubs and trees make great boundaries between diff erent zones in the yard. •Entertainment Oasis. For those who view their home as the hottest spot in the neighborhood, an entertainment oasis is just the ticket. Seating is a must, so map out diff erent areas for eating and conversing. A fi re pit can help keep guests warm during chilly evening gatherings, and you can whip up a delicious dinner in an outdoor kitchen. If your neighbors are nearby, consider a wall of bushes or potted plants to create privacy. Hang string lights to create ambiance, and add lots of plants and fl owering bushes to create an inviting outdoor atmosphere. •Wildlife Sanctuary. Those who want to create a wildlife sanctuary in their own backyard should opt for a mix of native and adaptive plants that are recognizable and useful for local wildlife. A diverse array of fl owering plants attract birds, bees and butterfl ies. A bee fountain or hummingbird feeder can help pollinators thrive by providing important hydration. For other wildlife, provide natural sources of habitat by planting shrubs and trees. •Outdoor Offi ce. Taking work outdoors is all the rage for those who want to strike a good worklife balance. Set up your outdoor offi ce for success by selecting a comfortable, quiet spot that off ers seating and shade near electrical outlets and a strong Wi-Fi signal. The appropriate lighting and heating features can help extend the usefulness of the outdoor offi ce. Jazz up your video conference background by making sure trees, bushes and plants are viewable or add a green wall or a tall potted plant behind your seat. ~ Home of the Week ~ Saugus.... 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, warm and inviting home nestled on a side street, cul-desac.
