Costco Backyard Makeover #3. Urban Retreat.
Don't let your limited space keep you from enjoying the outdoors.
Here are some tips to help urban home and apartment dwellers make the most of their spaces.

TIP NO. 1 Make a Sweet Spot
for Dinners for Two
Bars and Barstools
Find a stylish but accommodating table that can comfortably seat two or cozily seat four. Tables with bar stools are handy for apartment decks so you can see over side rails or walls.

TIP NO. 2 Choose Pieces with
More Than One Use
Deck Boxes
A deck box can hide and protect your cushions, outdoor toys or folding chairs, plus makes for handy seating in a small place.

TIP NO. 3 Small Grill, Big Taste
Patio Sets
All backyards are not created equal, but limited grilling space shouldn't stand between you and BBQ bragging rights. Opt for a portable grill instead!

TIP NO. 4 Plant a Tree (sort of)
Live Plant
Urban spaces can feel so much more delightful (and refreshing) with some greenery. We recommend a hardy plant that also gives you delicious fruit!
