Fall Upgrade: Your Outdoor Space

While we’re coming up on Fall, believe it or not, we’re also coming up one one of the best times to revamp the garden. From outdoor furniture sales to the ideal planting season for many plants on the West Coast, Fall has multiple advantages that come with outdoor upgrades. Not to mention with the pandemic currently underway, a nice outdoor space may come far more in handy this Fall and Winter than ever before. Here are a few ways we like to upgrade our spaces during this time of year.

Benefits Of A Patio

A patio is a hot favorite feature on the property market, so if you're thinking about selling your home in a few years, it'll increase the value significantly. Right now, though, it's a great spot to entertain visitors and have guests over. You can place a grill nearby and also have an even platform to place your outdoor chairs on, so people don't have to sway on the grass.

The Furniture

Furniture can make a huge difference in the backyard - not just for how it looks, but for how the yard is used. Do you see it as a place to go alone for some quiet time, a place to socialize, a place to dine, or a place to play? Adding furniture that encourages how you would like to use the garden can often be a great way to open up the space to more possibilities than it may currently offer. Our advice is to start with just one set or item and use it for a week or two before adding on. That way you’ll have a more careful consideration of how you’d like to design the space according to use. You can cheaply hire a roll off dumpster rental for home projects if you're looking to get rid of old or broken furniture but don't have the means to take it to a tip yourself. They're a cost-effective option and can help reduce your stress while you're changing things up.

Unique Features

A unique feature is a fairly affordable way to make your backyard something truly special and full of magic. From fire pits to waterfalls to ponds to an herb garden to sculptures to a meditation corner, etc., it all depends on the type of garden you're attempting to build and what you believe would look great and would use the most. Consider your options carefully before making any choices, and remember that there's nothing wrong with trying some comparison shopping until you discover the features that are best for you.

If you do decide to add a fire pit to your garden, why not add some ambient lighting to surround it? It would create a brilliant atmosphere when guests are over, and you could use your fire pit accessories like a griddle plate to heat some delicious snacks for everyone to enjoy.

Get Back To Basics

Adding some plants to your backyard to add some color and make it stand out a little more is an easy way to upgrade without going all out. You could either choose potted plants, which often take the least effort, or build a floral border around your lawn. It all relies on the type of aesthetic you want to achieve, where you live, and what you find appealing. It's not difficult to add flowers, and it'll feel great to gaze down at the lovely display and know that you made it.
Too many folks ignore their gardens altogether because they believe it is too much labor for them to manage, yet all that is required is a little imagination, elbow grease, and then some care. We hope that you end up with the beautiful results that you are looking for in your garden.
