Lights, Lights and More Lights!
Outdoor lighting can create the right ambiance for your outdoor backyard living area. Electric or solar lamps, made especially for lighting walkways, garden beds or even outdoor fireplaces, can make all the difference to the final appearance of your backyard design.

A Blockhouse Shed to Make Room for Your Passion
Imagine taking a little bit of your backyard and creating your very own private space to exercise whatever you’re passionate about. Art studio. Writers den. Man cave. She shed. You name it, a Blockhouse shed from Compass will give you the climate controlled space to live your best life.

Pergolas
An attractive item which many start with is a pergola. Pergolas create the effect of openness and with a Pergola wrap they can also provide a nice shaded spot in your backyard.

Plants & Landscaping 
Plan your backyard well and be sure to include a variety of plants at various stages of growth. Trees, shrubs and flower seedlings are all available at varying heights and stages and they do go a far way in enhancing the overall appearance of your backyard.

Sunroom & Screen Room Additions
The coup de grace of your backyard Shangri La is a climate controlled sunroom or a screen room enclosure ideal for everything from happy hour and watching the big game, to reading and an afternoon nap.
