Sun is an essential ingredient in any outdoor space, but too much sun and plants will wilt right alongside your desire to spend time in your backyard. Too little sun and your flowerbeds, vegetable garden, and beautiful landscape will never grow. You need to find the perfect balance between sun and shade.<\/p>\n

The problem is that it\u2019s easy to get a lot of sun, but it\u2019s not quite as easy to create shade that lets you comfortably enjoy the outdoors without a sunhat and endless amounts of sunscreen.<\/p>\n

The good news is that even if you don\u2019t have any mature shade trees on your lot, a landscape architect<\/a> can still create areas of full or partial shade<\/a> where they\u2019re most needed. They\u2019ll take into consideration every area of your yard and\u2014using a combination of existing natural features and built structures\u2014find that perfect balance of sun and shade you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n

Balancing Sun & Shade in Your Backyard<\/h2>\n
\"

The first step to creating shade in a sunny backyard is to take into consideration your current sun exposure. Your landscape architect will automatically look at your usable space and make recommendations for how to handle the sun. They\u2019ll evaluate everything from how effective your current shade plants and trees are to the direction the sun shines at those times of day when you\u2019re outside the most.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, your landscape design professional will ask you about where in your yard you need shade and at what times of the day. The answers to their questions will determine the types of options open to you and how effectively they can meet your needs. From there, it\u2019s just a matter of choosing and planning the best shade for your yard.<\/p>\n

Types of Shading<\/h3>\n

When planning shade for your backyard, there are a variety of options. Most of the time, employing a mix of planted, built, and mechanical shade elements are best. This way you can enjoy some amount of shade while allowing the necessary time for newly planted trees and shrubs to fill in and provide natural shade.<\/p>\n

Below, we outline the three most common ways to add shade to your overly sunny yard and why they should be considered.<\/p>\n

Option 1: Mechanical Shade Structures<\/h4>\n

Awnings, umbrellas, and sun-screening canopies are all mechanical shade structures. They add shade to your yard immediately in ways that are flexible and unique\u2014the umbrella is the most flexible because it can be moved around your yard as needed.<\/p>\n

As for a sun canopy, although it requires some construction, it\u2019s the best solution when you want to shade a large area. It adds a contemporary flair to any yard, and best yet, it softens rather than blocks light. This means you can diminish the heat and glare of the sun while keeping brightness underneath.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Option 2: Living Shade Screens<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re willing to wait a little while, a green wall of hedging trees is a fantastic option for throwing shade across an open patio area during the late afternoon or early morning. It\u2019s an ideal solution for individuals who enjoy their morning coffee outside or relax out on their patio in the evening after work. Depending on the type of bushes and trees you plant (fast or slow-growing), the results can be instantaneous, produce shade in a few years, or be meant to provide shade a decade or two down the road.<\/p>\n

Your landscape architect will help you decide the right shade tree to solve your problem. In most cases, you won\u2019t need a full-sized plant. However, if your budget allows, you can plant a full-sized tree to provide instant shade all day long. And you won\u2019t have to wait 10-15 years for it to branch out and provide relief.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide with your architect, living shade screens add character and old-fashioned beauty to your yard.\t\t

Option 3: Built-Shade Structures<\/h4>\n
\"pergola
A pergola lends partial shade to the sunniest area of this backyard. \u00a9Morgan Howarth Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The final option is building a structure that provides full or partial shade. Your architect might suggest a pavilion or a pergola to protect a portion of your yard from the sun as you need it. A pavilion offers full shade while a pergola provides partial shade before 10 am and after 2 pm when the sun hits it at an angle. By increasing or decreasing the number of rafters and purlins (smaller cross-hatching timbers), your architect can control the amount of shade your pergola produces. By adding vines, you can create something between full and partial shade along with a lovely ambiance.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll work closely with your landscape architect to choose the combination of shade solutions best suited for the conditions in your yard. Depending on when you use your backyard and the activities you enjoy the most, you\u2019ll want to install different options. Your architect can offer recommendations from simple quick fixes to long-term, permanent solutions, so the result is a backyard that you\u2019ll love using clouds or shine.<\/p>\n
