Backyard 101: How to Transform It

When you dream of a perfect backyard, you probably envision lounging in the sun, planting, and enjoying your yard’s fruits.


However, the biggest challenge with transforming a backyard into a peaceful and relaxing green space is freeing up the area from all the stuff that takes up space.


Those old rusty springs and jagged metal edges no longer belong there, but they’re just taking up room.


And, when they get in the way, all you need to do is give UJUNKY professionals a call, and we’ll help declutter your backyard in no time. We’ve got lots of tools and bins that can cut practically everything you need out and help enhance the curb appeal of your yard.


So, if your backyard feels dated or just needs a little sprucing up, here are some ideas to transform your backyard into a showstopper! 


1. Create a Seating Area

A seating area can provide a place for you to sit down and enjoy the outdoors. It can be as simple as a wooden bench or as complex as an elaborate gazebo with pathways leading up to it. This is especially important if you like to entertain guests, as your friends and family will have room to sit while they visit you.


2. Add Some Shade

If you live in an area that gets hot during the summer months, then some shade could be just what you need to make your backyard usable.


A pergola is a good choice for more permanent shading; if you only want shade during certain times of day, consider hanging vines from trellises for sun protection.


3. Use Wall Space for Artwork

It’s easy to overlook wall space when decorating an outdoor living area, but don’t forget that walls can be used as fun surfaces for artwork or decorative accents. Hang paintings and hangings on exterior walls to create dimension and separation between spaces in your backyard.


4. Use plants as accessories

Plants add color, texture, form, and fragrance to your space. Fill in bare spots with annuals or perennials, or dig into the ground and plant shrubs or trees to add greenery year-round.


5. Hire junk removal services

Backyard building projects are fun and exciting, but they’re also a lot of work! Before you dive in to spruce up your yard, hire professionals for junk removal services in Milwaukee to clean it up by removing any old garden tools, sports equipment, broken patio furniture and more.


At UJUNKY, we provide you with an outdoor dumpster to make the task quick and easy. Once you’re done decluttering, we’ll pack all the trash, preparing your space for new furniture and plants.


We also offer old furniture and appliance removal and recycling services, along with garage and attic cleanouts and other house and estate clean-up services
