Get your Outdoor Patio Ready for Spring

As temperatures rise and the weather gets warmer, it’s not too early to get your outdoor patio ready for spring. Hiring a professional is the fastest way to get your outdoor area looking its best for guests and family members. With just two days of free time, you can create a space that will ultimately make spending time there more enjoyable. Creating the perfect outdoor space can be a challenge. Even if you have your yard, it’s not always easy to get the right lighting and design for seating and table placement. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are four tips that will get your patio looking its best for spring.

Make your patio look good by going vertical

Before the season gets off the ground, if you have outdoor furniture or a patio, consider installing some vertical curb. It will bring more life to your area and save you money in the long run by cleaning up messes left behind by previous homeowners. If you are concerned about your property value, it’s worth asking if it’s possible to install a vertical curb as part of an overall landscaping project.

When it comes to the patio, there are many options, but there are two basic types. The first goes up with the season. This style typically has grass, a pop-up campfire and an oversize barrel for shade. The other goes with the season’s ends and comes down in the winter months with less greenery and fewer artificial supports. If you go with the latter option, be sure to protect the plants by planting them on damp ground and making sure they have access to cold Runoff Water. If the soil is cold or compacted, the grass may not stand up long enough to use as a lawn; instead, consider using an “old-fashioned” watering can with a strap.

Add bright/colorful planters

Your outdoor patio is a blank slate and you have an opportunity to turn it into a space that better reflects your style! To start, try changing up the colour scheme. Adding pops of colour with outdoor cushions or painting the furniture will create an inviting place to spend time outdoors. You can also explore different decorating styles and try to mimic the look of indoor furniture or other accents that you like. When you make your cosy outdoor space come alive with warm, inviting colours and patterns, you’ll be able to savour the outdoors even more. Especially when friends and family are coming over! 

In the spring, the patio should be treated to a fresh coat of paint and new herbs and trees. Repaint the deck and add some fresh flowers. Make the area more inviting with some outdoor seating under a shady tree or a raised-base build for a more informal gathering. If you have a large yard, you can install a small table and chairs outside to serve as a spot for eating and interacting with guests while you’re walking through the garden.

Create a warm atmosphere with lanterns and candles

Get your patio ready by creating a backyard oasis that will be used all spring and summer long! From bright pots of flowers to deck furniture that looks like something on the beach, your patio will be the talk of the block. 

Planning a spring outdoor set-up is a great way to put together an outdoorsy occasion this year. It comes with the time to think about things like weather fundamentals, time commitment, equipment needs and materials needed. Table lamps, small fires and pine cones provide visual interest in the setting and can be used to mark special occasions or just give off a rustic appearance. In the past few years, many homeowners have installed patio covers to protect their walkways and patios from rain and frequent visits from pests.

Add throw pillows and colourful furniture mimicking outdoor

Get your outdoor patio ready for spring by choosing pillows that will keep your vibrant plants healthy. From flower beds to plant pots and stadium seating, there are so many options to choose from that you could end up with an entire outdoor area set up for you and your guests. You can choose to blanket a patio with leaves, twigs and plant foliage for privacy or adding a tangle of green to break up the monotony of your patio. For many outdoor areas, pre-made outdoor seating can be more effective than creating the seating yourself since groups may be less likely to crowd

Although it’s always a good idea to re-think your outdoor space, there are plenty of ways to get started that don’t require demolition. Start by adding a new piece of outdoor furniture or a lavish throw pillow in your living room. Use cushions, rugs, and throw pillows to turn your indoor furniture into outdoor furniture. 

Get your outdoor patio ready for spring with this easy decorating idea. Select colourful furniture that has the same design characteristics as your outdoor furnishings. Patio furniture is an easy way to increase the value of your home and also reflects the personality of your home. So if you have a warm, porous feel in your home, go for an outdoor area rug that will reflect that. If you prefer bright colours, go with a chair that has been altered to match the rest of the furniture in your home or office. Furniture should be well-thought-out so that it fits in with the rest of the house and fits with the times. It should also not take up much space since most people don’t have time to move everything around every time they want something new.

     These four simple strategies will transform your backyard into a family-friendly backyard. And by implementing them in the order listed, you’ll have an outdoor living space that will be more inviting than you ever imagined.
