Three Reasons Why You Should Add an Outdoor Shade to Your Yard

Adding an outdoor shade or overhead structure is an often overlooked option for residential landscaping. If you want to add a unique and elegant touch to your property, an outdoor shade or overhead structure may be right for you. Today, we will share three reasons why adding an outdoor shade may be beneficial to you and help elevate your property. 

1) UV and weather protection 

An outdoor shade is perfect for you if you love to spend time in your yard! Especially if you have an outdoor kitchen or carefully curated patio, the UV and weather damage from the sun beating down all year around may be a concern for you. Installing an outdoor shade can protect your equipment and gear, and also provides shade so you and your guests and can lazy summer evenings without sitting in direct sunlight. Whether to protect yourself or your guests or to prevent sun damage to your patio furniture and other structures, an overhead structure may be the perfect touch to elevate your yard.  

2) Adds aesthetic appeal

An overhead structure--whether an arbor, pergola, or gazebo--adds a delicate touch of class to your yard. It's the perfect way to transform your space from average to classic and wow your friends and family. As you work to craft the perfect getaway in your own backyard, consider adding an overhead structure or shade to add that wow factor!

3)  Enhances property value 

With the current market here in Boise, ID, it's safe to say that property values are soaring and investing in your property is an even better idea than ever before. As you consider your own landscaping and ways to further enhance value, a well-placed overhead structure or shade may give you an increased edge when you decide to relocate in the future. It's a good idea to put yourself ahead in whatever ways you can, and if doing so helps you enjoy your property even more in the process, it's a great idea!

Adding an overhead structure is a unique and clever way to enhance your space. In addition to providing a guaranteed spot in your yard that's protected from the rays of the sun, an outdoor shade can add aesthetic appeal and even enhance the value of your property.

It’s a well-known fact that Boise--the City of Trees--is a desert; we claim a small piece of  the Great Basin Desert, the only “cold” desert in the United States. If you’ve lived here in the Treasure Valley for very long, you are well aware of our frequent droughts, how frequently we discuss the water levels in our reservoirs, and noticed the low-water plants local to our area, including sage brush, bitterbrush, and arrowleaf balsamroot (those yellow, sunflower-like wildflowers you see during springtime hikes in the foothills). Yet, in Boise proper and into our suburbs, there is a stark contrast to the wild flora: green lawns all summer long are the norm, and few plants frequently used in landscaping are indigenous to Idaho.
