here you live, how much you entertain, and how you like to relax will help guide your decision on what to include in your backyard landscaping plans. The key to great outdoor entertaining is making sure you, and your guests, feel just as comfortable as they would be indoors.

Turn your backyard into an entertainment retreat with a lounging and eating area, a refreshment bar along with a spa or hot tub. Add a pergola or gazebo for extra shade and privacy, a trickling waterfall, and a patio area complete with bar and grill, and you'll never have to leave your home for an exotic winter vacation.
