Landscaping Ideas To Create Your Own Backyard Retreat

We've created a site where you'll find landscaping ideas for creating an extended living space in your own backyard. We've found some interesting designs we hope will inspire you and some creative ideas you might not have thought of. You'll find ideas about plant identification, fire and water, playsets for the kids, games, lighting and outdoor cooking. Throughout the site we've provided links to what we think are some very useful sites with practical advice and inspiration. The "Backyard Blog" is the place where we'll keep you updated on new sites we've found, ideas, and our own backyard retreat projects.         One of the definitions of a retreat is "a place of refuge, seclusion, or privacy."  Your backyard can be just such a place where your family can meet, relax, unwind, entertain or just enjoy the things you've worked so hard to earn. We hope you'll enjoy this site as much as we've enjoyed building it.
