How to Have the Ultimate Staycation In Your Own Backyard

Let’s get right to it. We could all use a little rest and relaxation. The past year has been a whirlwind for many—full of added stressors and worries, but without the usual escapes.

Now more than ever, many of us are craving a getaway—but we all know that getting away comes with its fair share of stressors, too. Packing up the suitcase, planning out where to sleep and eat, making sure the kids have everything they need, getting to the airport on time, praying no one’s luggage gets lost… the list goes on and on.

By the time you reach your destination, you’re ready for a nap! And by the time you get back home, you already need another vacation. Sound familiar? With travel restrictions still in place and warmer temps quickly rolling in, it’s time for a solution.

That’s where we come in. Malone’s Landscape will help you create the ultimate backyard staycation spot, so you can get the rest you deserve without leaving home.

3 Elements of the Ultimate Backyard Staycation

Our designers are the best in the Northwest at designing and installing backyard spaces you can relax in. From waterfalls to pools, spas to outdoor rooms, we’ll bring your dream getaway to you. The first step is figuring out what you want to see in your space.

1. Natural Waterfalls

Being close to water is something nearly everyone can appreciate, but maybe you don’t live near the ocean or a lake. A natural waterfall adds depth and serenity to your backyard without breaking the bank. The sky’s the limit when it comes to designing your waterfall. Whether your design is circular or square, stone or cement, we’ll incorporate it into your landscaping so that it looks and feels like a natural fixture of your land.

2. Pools & Spas

Finally, it’s time to turn your childhood dreams of owning a pool—or your adult dreams of owning a hot tub—into reality. Cool off in a new pool or warm up in a custom spa. Both are timeless additions to your home that everyone can enjoy. And they don’t have to take up lots of space. At Malone’s Landscape, our experienced team will work with you to determine the right size, shape, placement and depth of your backyard pool and spa setup so that it brings you and your family fun for years to come.

3. Outdoor Living Space

Whether you add water features to your backyard or not, there’s always a need for a good place to sit back and relax. With an outdoor living space like a covered patio or a deck, you basically add another room to your house, giving you the square footage you need to spread out and unwind. Soak up the sun, watch the kids play in the pool, or get some much-deserved shut-eye. We can install a fireplace or pit, a television, a fridge, a grill, colored lights—whatever you need to get that full “getaway” experience.

Ready, set … stay!

There’s no time like the present to start planning your perfect backyard getaway. Spring is the perfect time to break ground, so that your new waterfall, pool, spa and living space is ready for use by the time summer officially begins. If you’re not sure how to start, don’t worry—that’s what we’re here for. Give us a call to learn more about our summer landscaping services and start planning your next project (and staycay) today.
