With our wonderful, mild year-round weather, enjoying the outdoors is a way of life in Marin County, whether it is in our abundant open space or in our own backyard.  So here is a plethora of articles on anything and everything relevant to making your outdoor space the best it can be.

Whether you are thinking of updating or upgrading your backyard for your own enjoyment or for resale value, or both, remember that outdoor space sells in Marin County.

To start with, here is a great article from www.Houzz.com I particularly enjoyed with tips for adding pizzaz to your outdoor space with color without breaking the bank: Seven Striking Color Combos for Your Outdoor Space.  Here is another one from Sunset Magazine: 7 Ways to Upgrade Your Yard for Entertaining with excellent ideas for sprucing up your space to make it pop-up when hosting parties this summer.

Another great article that may be relevant for many Marin County homeowners where we have so many gorgeous, mature trees worth keeping: Outdoor Design: Save that Tree 

Here are additional articles from www.Houzz.com for different categories that should inspire you, regardless of what your project is for updating or renovating your outdoor living area.  Each article includes gorgeous pictures to help you visualize the space.
