If you’ve found yourself with a little spare time these days, put those extra hours to good use by adding value (and curb appeal!) to your outdoor living space. We’re sharing five idea starters to take your yard to the next level. From simple concrete walkways and brick-edged borders to additions that’ll help you entertain in style – like a grill gazebo or an outdoor pizza oven – the hardest part will be deciding what to do first. So grab your Goldblatt tools (you’re going to need them!) and let’s get to it.

Outdoor pizza oven.

Create a seasonal kitchen that ensures fresh oven-baked pizza is always around the corner (or on the patio). A DIY outdoor pizza oven not only is an affordable alternative to higher priced options, but also offers you the freedom to customize it using core components that are easily found at your local hardware store. And if you really feel like getting fancy, our full line of tile grout floats can help you add a tile border with ease. We love this handy step-by-step guide by The Spruce. (Anyone else hungry now?)

Brick border.

Add an attractive addition to your property with a brick-edged border. Installing brick edging is easy, with a straightforward process that can potentially be done in one day or less in any backyard area – including lawns, pathways, and garden beds. And it’s fully customizable! Put your own spin on your border by switching up colors, sizes, and textures.

Fire pit.

Bring the heat to your backyard with a DIY fire pit. This inexpensive project can be customized to your preferences and enjoyed year-round. In-ground or above, round or square, stone or concrete (or even upcycled materials, like a spare truck tire or steel sheets) – the possibilities are endless. With basic-skill knowledge and some creativity, you can really warm up any property with this fun addition.

Concrete walkway.

Long-lasting and easy to install, a concrete path provides easy, comfortable navigation through your property. Plus, it adds value! The first step is deciding your path location, and then it’s time to get to work. Pro tip: when preparing to lay your concrete slab, be sure to have your Goldblatt mud mixer on hand – it does the tough work for you.

Grill gazebo.

No matter what you’re serving up – drinks, links, or your favorite summer fare – a grill gazebo (or “grillzebo”) will become your favorite place to gather. More than just a gazebo, the grillzebo serves as a bar, a place to store your grill, and a fun, fresh way to entertain. This project is easily adaptable to your needs and space – just choose the yard or patio as its home, and then add your preferred details, like lighting, storage, glassware racks, even built-in coolers! This design by The Family Handyman is one of our favorites.

Whatever your goals are this summer, Goldblatt is here with the tips and tools to help you make the most of your time – and your outdoor space.
