Carlsbad is known for its temperate year-round climate that makes it perfect for things like outdoor dining and swimming. Adding an outdoor living space to your Carlsbad home is easy because you have so many options, but tight living spaces can make it complicated to figure out what to prioritize. Here are some ideas for ways to make your Carlsbad landscape design stand out.
Outdoor living space
If you have a patio, or at least if you have room for a patio, outdoor dining areas or living spaces can be a great way to add more living space to your home without having to add in features like pools or hot tubs. They’re low maintenance, and they’re a sustainable way to avoid using more water to keep up your outdoor space.
Pools
Families with kids or people that like to spend a lot of time outside often get a lot of use out of their pool areas. Pools can be a great way to add value to a home, especially if you have a lot of outdoor space and you’re not sure what to do with it. Adding in a pool feature can be a great way to make an outdoor space more livable while adding a feature that can be used for exercise.
Hot Tubs
Similar to pools, hot tub areas and built-in hot tub spaces are a great way to add living space to an outdoor area. Built-in features and other water features can add value to a home when done correctly, and homeowners love using these features year round.
Gardens
One of the best ways to utilize the space in your yard is to add in vegetable and fruit gardens. This is a great way to use the outdoor space and make your home feel more welcoming. Vegetable and fruit gardens are a great way to cut costs on your grocery bill while doing something good for the environment, and they’re even a visually pleasing space to add to your outdoor areas.
Zeroscaping
If you’re focused on sustainability, the best way to utilize your outdoor space is to zeroscape. This involves replacing grassy areas with rock work, pebbles or plants that will use very little water to maintain. Zeroscaping also requires very little maintenance, so if you want an outdoor space that won’t be time consuming to maintain this is a great option.
