1) Create a Stone Path
Create a clear path from your house to your backyard garden, water feature, pool, or playhouse. You can use a variety of materials like mulch, bricks, or stones to create a beautiful pathway. You can also add a little flair to your walkway by adding yard decorations like glow-in-the-dark rocks or garden stakes.

2) String Up Some Mood Lighting
A sure way to make your backyard beautiful is to invest in outdoor lighting. Drape string lights down from a pergola or across your outdoor living space to give it a starry-night feel. Another great way to add some lighting is to line your patio or garden path with torches or lanterns for soft lighting.
