New York State and metro area is on it’s way to phase 2 and that means opening up more and getting out there! Still though many families may be scrapping their summer vacation plans for the option of a “staycation” where you stay at home. But that doesn’t have to be a let down for you or the kids. There are so many great ways to take advantage of more time at home in the beautiful warm weather that we are having right now. Here we’ll look at some of the most popular options you can consider that guarantee for a good time all summer long at home.
1. New Pool Installation

It goes without saying that a pool is something that can really make a summer stay at home spectacular. You and the kids can get out there and cool off while enjoying each others company all in a safe space. Added options like diving boards, water slides, and waterfall features can make your pool seem like a mini water park that will be th envy of those left without. Considering there are so many different options when it comes to a custom pool design you can really get creative as well. Want a unique shape for your indoor pool? How about an attached hot tub or kiddy’s pool? Would an outdoor shower by the pool be a great idea? There are so many ways to make a pool area your own and that goes beyond the amenities. Options like the type of paver stone and pool lining or tiles can really take the simple concept of a body of water to new heights. Hit the drawing board and look around for some ideas you’ve seen in the past that you like. Then contact your local pool installation contractor for a quote and get the ball rolling.
2. Outdoor Kitchen & Fireplaces
Making the most of a staycation means more than just enjoying your beautiful pool. There is also barbecues and food to think of, after all it is summer! When considering an option like an outdoor kitchen you have some great choices to consider. Not only are outdoor kitchens great for enjoying the outdoors they are also a great place for the family to come together. With a grille, stove top, outdoor fridge, sink, and food prep area you can take the whole process of cooking together and eating together to a new level. We all know that the summer isn’t long enough here in New York so spending the most time outside together is something we should all be really looking to strive for this year. Keep you and the family stable with regular meals right outside. Go quickly from the pool to the kitchen and even add an outdoor fireplace or brick oven to make cooking that much more fun. Not to mention some natural bug repellent with the wood fire, no more citronella candles!
3. Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems
Depending on the size of your yard and the age of your children (if you have them) the lawn could be getting a lot of use in the summer. Soccer games, whiffle ball, slip & slides, water games, and water balloon contests are just some of the ways kids can spend summer days. But that can be a nightmare for the grass and on their feet as the sun undoubtedly dries out your grass to the point it can seem like straw. A sprinkler system removes the possibility of dry and yellow grass that is uncomfortable to walk on. With regular watering and rain sensors your lawn will be as lush as ever but never saturated because when it rains the system will not also water the lawn on top of it. Many of us don’t have time to manually get out there with a hose and water the lawn and sprinklers purchased from Home Depot don’t do anywhere near enough. Consider a home sprinkler system to ensure your grass is playtime ready all summer long.
This is just a short list of some options you can consider to make a stay at home vacation extra special this summer season. If you had planned a family vacation but have canceled it, those funds can go straight into an investment into your home landscape design. Not only will it raise your property value but it will make the family’s stay-cation that much more special. Enjoy all the best that summer has to offer right in your own backyard this year and than for many years and seasons to come.
