Backyard Summer Renovations with Glickman: Fresh Ideas for a Luxurious Outdoor Upgrade
When summer is on the horizon, homeowners naturally start dreaming of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation, entertaining, and making memories. While patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens are popular go-to projects, there are plenty of other innovative ways to level up your backyard with unique, luxury upgrades.
At Glickman Design Build, we love helping homeowners think outside the box to create truly custom outdoor spaces that stand out. If you’re looking to transform your backyard in time for summer, here are some fresh renovation ideas that will take your outdoor space to the next level.
1. Sunken Lounge Areas with Fire Features
For a cozy yet modern twist on outdoor living, consider adding a sunken lounge area with a sleek fire feature as its centerpiece. These stylish spaces create a distinct “room” feel outdoors, giving your backyard a touch of luxury and exclusivity. Whether designed with built-in seating, plush cushions, or natural stone elements, this inviting space will become the ultimate spot for evening gatherings.
2. Garden Pergolas with Integrated Lighting and Speakers
Pergolas are more than just decorative structures—they can be fully customized to enhance your outdoor lifestyle. Glickman can design a high-end pergola with built-in lighting, ceiling fans, and outdoor speakers to create a relaxing retreat that’s perfect for entertaining well into the evening. Combined with climbing plants or sheer drapery, these pergolas add a resort-like feel to your backyard.
3. Custom Water Walls for Tranquil Ambiance
A water wall is a stunning feature that brings both beauty and tranquility to your outdoor space. These sleek installations create a soothing atmosphere with the gentle sound of cascading water. They can be integrated into garden walls, pool areas, or even alongside a dining space for a peaceful vibe that instantly elevates your backyard.
4. Outdoor Wellness Spaces
Imagine stepping outside to a dedicated wellness retreat in your own backyard. Whether it’s a yoga deck surrounded by lush greenery, a hot-and-cold plunge pool for therapeutic benefits, or a private meditation space tucked away under a shaded canopy, these custom additions promote relaxation and self-care.
5. Alfresco Entertainment Zones
Go beyond the standard grill setup and consider adding a fully equipped outdoor entertainment hub. From built-in bar stations with beverage coolers to dedicated game areas with dart boards, pool tables, or outdoor movie screens, these luxurious setups keep the fun going all summer long.
When to Get Started on Your Summer Projects
If you want your outdoor space to be summer-ready, timing is everything. Ideally, homeowners should contact Glickman Design Build in late winter or early spring to kickstart the design and planning process. Custom projects often require time for consultations, designs, permits, and construction scheduling. Reaching out early ensures your renovation is completed just in time for warm-weather gatherings and backyard barbecues.
