Makeover your own backyard/bathroom

1, Home might be where the heart is but in 2020 (and 2021 and 2022), it became the place where you were. All the time. And while you might have had a project or two on your wish list, you probably found yourself paying more attention to your living spaces. You no longer liked the wall color or finally felt ready to take on that bathroom upgrade.

While interior design and organization have always been popular, the pandemic shifted the focus to outdoor spaces. Your backyard, deck, or patio became a place to escape your work-from-home space and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. 

According to a survey released by the International Casual Furnishings Association, 88 percent of Americans with outdoor spas reported that they were dissatisfied with these spaces.

But how do you transform your space from lackluster to inviting?

From relaxing jacuzzi spas to a custom outdoor kitchen, these backyard ideas for 2023 will help you revamp your backyard.

2, The cost of a backyard makeover can start at $5,000 and increase depending on the scope of the project.

How to budget for backyard makeover costs

When you add it up, 2023 does not look like the best year to buy a house. The combination of high-interest rates, soaring prices, and limited inventory have made people reluctant to buy a house. Instead, homeowners are likely to continue investing in their current living spaces — indoors and out. 

But the investment in your backyard will vary, depending on the scope of the project, the size of the backyard, and the materials used, among other factors. 

A few minor changes can make a big difference in your backyard. Updating the patio furniture and refreshing the landscaping, which can cost $1,000 to $5,000, can bring new life to your outdoor space. 

If you want to take your backyard from “before” to “after,” you might need to expand the scope of the project. A budget between $5,000 to $20,000 will allow you to add things like a jacuzzi spa, outdoor lighting, hardscaping, and a fire pit. 

3, Adding to the budget will add to the possibilities. To create your dream backyard, complete with a large hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and custom pergola, the cost of your backyard project will likely start at $20,000 and go up from there.

It’s important to keep in mind that these are just rough estimates, and the cost of your backyard makeover will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
