01 May Create Your Dream Backyard on a Budget
Turn Your Backyard Into a Dream Oasis for Under $20k
Are you ready to transform your outdoor space into your dream backyard? If so, it’s time to dive into the possibilities and see how far your budget can take you! With a budget of around $15,000 to $20,000, you can create a stunning backyard that’s perfect for entertaining friends and family.
In this post, we’ll explore some of the paver and kitchen options available to you. These choices can truly make your backyard the ultimate gathering place, whether it’s for summer parties or year-round enjoyment. Just imagine having an outdoor kitchen where you can prep and cook meals right in your backyard, along with a stunning paver patio with enough room for the whole gang.
Budget-Friendly Outdoor Kitchen
Your outdoor kitchen is often the centerpiece of your new backyard oasis. Investing in a quality outdoor kitchen ensures your space is optimized for grilling, prepping, and entertaining. Here are some must-have features to consider for your outdoor kitchen:
Built-In Grill
A powerful built-in grill is essential for seamlessly cooking up burgers, steaks, chicken, or veggies. For a budget-friendly option, we recommend something like the 32″ Napoleon Prestige built-in grill. It features enough options to satisfy most weekend grillers, and the price starts around $1,300.
Preparation Space
Next to your grill, include durable countertops like granite or stone caps for food prep and staging. An undercounter refrigerator is the perfect addition to keep drinks chilled and ingredients fresh. For storage, incorporate cabinets and a undercounter trash for seamless prep and clean up.
Bar Seating
Complete your outdoor kitchen with bar-height seating. This provides a place for people to gather, chat, and watch the grill master at work. Just keep in mind that an outdoor kitchen with a $10,000 budget will get you around 8’ to 10’ of total outdoor kitchen space, so your countertop might have to work double duty as prep space and bar seating!
With the right layout and features, your outdoor kitchen will be the heart of backyard entertaining for years to come. Grill on!
Working in Phases
It’s worth noting that outdoor kitchens are often added on, rather than built at the beginning of a project. This means you can tackle your backyard project in phases. For example, you could start with a $10,000 patio and then invest another $10,000 in the kitchen down the line. It’s all about creating a long-term plan and bringing your dream backyard to life at your own pace.
Budget-Friendly Paver Patio
Speaking of patios, let’s talk about what you can expect within that same budget range. A patio in this price range will typically include a fire pit, a cozy seating wall, ambient lighting, and around 300 to 400 square feet of pavers. With this space, you can set up a comfortable dining area or arrange chairs around the fire pit for cozy evenings with loved ones. It’s all about creating a beautiful ambiance that sets the stage for wonderful memories in your backyard.
Of course, the final price will depend on the material options you choose. To help you make the best decision for your family and yard, we’ve put together a patio pricing guide. This guide breaks down all the details and options available, allowing you to make an informed choice that suits your needs.
