There’s nothing quite like sitting back to relax with good friends and good food while cheering your favorite team on to victory. The only thing that could enhance the experience is bringing the party outside into your yard for an ambiance that feels like an extension of your home’s unique style. Below are our top tips for getting your backyard game day ready.

Assess Your Space

A well-prepared outdoor living space for hosting game day events creates a welcoming and functional space to gather. Start by looking at the current state of your backyard.

  • What is the size of the space you must work with?How is your yard currently laid out?
  • What existing features do you already have that you can work with?
  • What do you want out of your backyard for hosting guests?
  • What do you envision in your backyard for game day, gatherings, and everyday use?

Design the Perfect Outdoor Entertainment Area

When you picture your dream backyard for hosting game-day parties, what comes to mind? Perhaps there’s a pool to float in while you enjoy the music coming from the outdoor stereo system, a designated outdoor living area complete with a couch and a TV setup, a privacy fence to hang sports-themed decor, a fire pit surrounded by string lights to kick up your feet, or an outdoor kitchen or grilling area for game day hamburgers and hotdogs. Enhance the game viewing experience by installing a projector screen with surround sound, a patio, or a backyard putting green.

Add Finishing Touches

Every detail matters when it comes to crafting your dream entertainment space in your backyard. Many homeowners who enjoy having a green lawn year-round opt for a low-maintenance, water-conserving synthetic turf lawn. Dedicate a space in your backyard for a vegetable garden or liven up your yard with a flower garden full of native plants. You can also add a dedicated fun zone for yard games and incorporate lights along pathways or hanging from pergolas to create a cozy environment.
