is, the outside (and particularly, your backyard) is full of design potential.
Of course, with summer on its way, you’ll want to enjoy as much time outdoors as possible.
You could:
Install a swimming pool.
Put in your dream patio.
Relax with backyard water features.
Whenever you need to get away, you don’t have to drive to an expensive cottage or hit a crowded beach.
Instead, just open your back door, step outside, and enjoy your very own backyard oasis.
With that in mind, here are some tips to bring to alive.
Important note for Summit Park homeowners
Summit Park homeowners must wait until final grading is approved by the City of Hamilton
before beginning and completing any landscaping projects.
If you’ve moved into a Summit Park home and final grading has been approved by the City, you are free to create the perfect outdoor living space for your family, your friends, and yourself.
Install outdoor lighting
Hosting a summer garden party this year?
Don’t let sundown force everyone indoors. Landscape lighting allows you to tastefully and safely enjoy your backyard.
Lighted garden
It also lets you show off certain elements of your outdoor living space at night.

- Spotlights shining on your colourful flower garden.
- Walking along an interlock path lined with built-in lighting.
- Floating lanterns providing bursts of light throughout your backyard.
- Outdoor lighting also provides an extra sense of security.
Firstly, they’ll illuminate any darkened areas, making it easier for you to talk across your backyard.
Secondly, certain types of lights (such as motion-detectors) will deter any unsavory characters from targeting your Summit Park neighbourhood home.
A private place just for you
While the majority of your Summit Park backyard will be dedicated to entertaining, you may want to allocate a corner just for you.
A place where you can:
Read quietly.
Listen to the ballgame in peace.
Think, mediate, and relax.
There are a few ways you can achieve this:
Install a privacy fence to separate your nook from the rest of the backyard.
Use tall plants to create a natural border for your private area.
Build a path leading to your secret spot.
Many homeowners in Hamilton have already done this; you can think of it as an oasis within your oasis.
