Landscaping Additions for Homeowners Who Love Hosting
Investing in new landscaping is investing in your home. But it’s also a way to invest in your social life. A major landscaping job is a great opportunity for homeowners who love to host to make their place even better.
Whether you’re the place to go for a neighborhood grill out or for the family to gather during celebrations, having a backyard that’s welcoming and filled with fun activities will make you the best house on the block. Here are some of our favorite additions for hosting.
In-Ground Pool with Lounge Chairs
On a hot summer’s day, there’s no better place to be than near a pool. It allows you to cool off while also getting in some good exercise, which has made it a popular choice for homeowners looking to improve their landscape. An in-ground pool is easier to maintain, adds more value to your home, and makes it easier to host guests.
A pool is a great incentive for inviting over friends and family. Instead of going to a packed water park, kids and adults alike can enjoy the private pool. If you’re considering a pool, also consider some add-ons like a waterfall, diving board, and a net install to give your guests even more ways to relax and play. For the adult guests, a hot tub makes a great spot to relax and catch up.

Outdoor Kitchen with Dining Area
It’s not a party without some food, and that’s always a good excuse to break out the grilling skills. Having cookouts in the summer is one of the most popular ways to host a get together, and that becomes much easier when you have an outdoor kitchen. Instead of having to go in and out of house constantly, the hosts can instead have everything they need on hand thanks to a well-designed outdoor kitchen.
Including features like a sink, fridge, and extra storage makes hosting a breeze. The cooking process can be done entirely outside. When food is ready, everyone can gather in one place to enjoy the meal. No more running in and out of the house with fragile plates and cups.

Firepit with Seating
Whether it’s night or day, having a firepit gives your landscaping the perfect spot for fireside chats. There are a couple ways to set up the seating around it–you can include a circular couch, individual chairs, or have a collection of foldable chairs ready to go in some nearby storage.
You can also choose a more traditional or modern firepit to match the aesthetic of your landscaping. It will become a great focal point for gathering. A fire pit also improves the look of your home’s exterior and added value for resale.
