Backyard Sports Court- FAQ - Nesting With Grace
When we were deciding on our layout for our backyard Kevin and I both really wanted to create a space where we could host friends, and family. All of us knew we would enjoy a basketball court, pickleball court and even a futsol (soccer). After discussing the layout with our landscapers we found the perfect spot for the sports court and luckily we had just enough space in our backyard!

We Planted a Tree and Created a Seating Area - Nesting With Grace
We had to have several trees removed from our yard after they were attacked by beetles. Sad day when a tree dies. But happy day when a new tree is planted. It was quite the process having dead trees removed, the stump ground down, root ball and soil prepared for a new tree.

Our Outdoor Kitchen with Pizza Oven - Nesting With Grace
We have been working on our outdoor kitchen for about 10 months! Normally it isn’t that long of a process, but because we started in October, we knew the weather would be a determining factor on when it would be complete. And it did. Utah had one of the heaviest winters in years! It could have been done in about 2 months had we not started it heading into winter

Favorite Outdoor String Lights - Nesting With Grace
I am picky about string lights, you know I have a favorite string lights we use everywhere outside. We have tried several different outdoor string lights, and I always go back to them same lights. They are the brightest, warmest glow. We have them strung around our front porch, back porch, pergola and sports court. We attach them to fences with zip ties, hook over a screw or use a staple gun for electrical wire.

Lights Under Pergola- Grouping of Outdoor Pendant Lights - Nesting With Grace
I have wanted to do a big grouping of lights under our pergola for awhile, but I wasn’t sure if they could all be hardwired under the pergola. I finally asked Chad, our friend who is an electrician and he said yes he could do it! He added conduit for the wires, which I was fine with and knew we could paint the conduit black to match the pergola if it was really noticeable and it isn’t.
