Vegetable Garden
A vegetable garden is an excellent choice for ample open space because of its health benefits. Instead of spending a lot of time and money at local supermarkets, you can pick, clean, and cook vegetables from your garden for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thanks to the extra space, your garden can be more extensive, allowing you to incorporate more plant ideas instead of sticking to basic themes. The additional space simplifies crop rotation and gives you more room to brainstorm and plan before incorporating the actual garden.
Fire Pit
This is an excellent addition if you want to sit outdoors in both warm and cooler temperatures. The fire pit can be used when the temperature drops at night during the hotter months and for more extended periods during the winter season. You can sit on the patio reading books, drinking beverages, engaging with family and friends, or simply taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery. There are a variety of fire pits to select from based on your current state and local housing laws, budget, and design preferences, and you can accent the area surrounding your fire pit with beautiful decorative rocks such as snow-white pebbles.
Pond
Having a large yard allows you to capture its beauty through landscaping, and adding a pond can increase your ability to do just that while providing a calming fixture. Adding a bench next to the pond allows you to sit while enjoying the day in the backyard taking in all nature has to offer. Another benefit of having a large yard is that you can have a pond that’s big enough to add some fish, such as goldfish or koi.
Decorative Pathways
One of the unique ways to separate your large outdoor space is with dividers. Instead of putting up small fences and typical partitions, you can separate the yard with stone arches and pathways. Whether you use beach pebbles, polished black river rock, or boulders and slabs, you can find designs you love that don’t make the yard look cluttered. While walking on the pathways to the garden, the patio, and other fun places within the yard, you can soak in the beautiful scenery.
Planters
This seems like a traditional project, but there are new ideas you can add to make an extensive area more customized and trendier. The planters can be large tubes the size of flower beds or small lines of pots placed along the pathways with lights. You could also fill oversized pots to store large trees or flowers based on your preferences, landscaping budget, and new trends. The planter boxes could be customized with the same theme or design as your patio furniture and spaced throughout the yard.
