To turn a backyard into an urban oasis, start by assessing the space and creating a plan that meets your needs and preferences. Consider incorporating elements like raised garden beds, a pergola or gazebo, and outdoor cooking and dining areas. To create a sense of privacy and relaxation, add screening plants, a water feature, and comfortable seating. You could also consider adding features like a fire pit or outdoor lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for entertaining guests or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors. With some thoughtful planning and creative design, your backyard can become an oasis of tranquility and relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life.
