#3 – Add Flowers & Other Plants Around Decking
While decks look fine without any flowers or plants, if you want to add an additional touch to your backyard, you can add flowers or other plants around your decking so it covers up the legs of the decking, but still gives you a beautiful space.
Planning Your Landscaping Basics & Beautiful Backyard
If you want to make a major difference in your backyard, there is another option besides for flowers and water features. Adding a pool is one of the biggest changes and improvements you can make to your backyard. Whether you choose to put in a small pool aka “spool” or if you decide you are going to go big and get a large pool, a pool provides a great place to hang out with friends and family or a place to read and enjoy your favorite books and podcasts.
