How do I create a quiet backyard oasis in full sun?
I have 2/3 of an acre in my backyard. It’s in full sun. I want to create some type of enclosure so when I come out of my back door I have a comfortable sitting area separate from the main yard. I was thinking about stamped concrete in some sort of fire pit. Any ideas on a reasonable budget

Debbie, a sail cloth for shade would be nice.
Hello Debbie,
You could construct a Grand Enclosed Porch or a simple Trellised Area or give yourself a planted shady area with Climbing Plants or tall Cyprus Trees, or use a Valenced
Bed Sheet on Poles, or a Canopy that is retractable (AWNING) Enjoy!
Hi Debbie - This is how we turned our sad little deck into a gorgeous outdoor space. Hope it helps with a little inspiration. Good luck! Hugs, Holly
