10 Awesome Ideas for Pimped Out Backyards

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday April 30, 2013

Okay, so don't tell anyone here at CA, but I'm totally planning on taking a 'mental health sick day' on a Friday as soon as the weather gets warmer. Me + sangria + backyard deck + sunshine - work = perfection.

I mean, what? Me, skipping work? Never! I'm totally joking Ali (cue nervous laughter)!

In case you were so inclined to do something awful like skip work and hang out in the sun all day, we suggest that you do so in a pimped out backyard! We think a sweet little oasis to make the most of the summer months is in order.

Here are 10 ideas for your coolest backyard ever:
