Make 2026 the Year Your Backyard Shines ✨
Happy New Year, friends! 🐾 Brinx here, ready to help you turn your backyard dreams into reality in 2026. Even though Kansas is still frosty, winter is the perfect time to plan a backyard that wows all year.
💡 Planning & Design Tips from Brinx (Most People Don’t Know These!):
Start with a “backyard triangle”: Place your pool, fire pit, and dining area in a triangle layout. This ensures traffic flows naturally and makes your space feel balanced.
Plan for microclimates: Sunny spots, shaded areas, and wind protection zones make your backyard comfortable all day long.
Think vertical: Trellises, pergolas, and climbing plants add dimension and privacy without taking up valuable space.
Integrate hidden storage: Benches with built-in storage, under-step compartments, and custom cabinetry keep cushions, pool toys, and garden tools organized.
Lighting strategy: Use layered lighting—ambient, task, and accent—to create a space that’s inviting both day and night. Consider solar options to cut energy costs.
Seasonal adaptability: Design patios and decks with removable shade sails or retractable covers so your backyard works in summer and winter.
Starting your planning now means you’ll be ready to break ground as soon as the snow melts. Early decisions about layout, features, and materials reduce stress and help your project stay on budget.
