The days are feeling longer, the baby blossoms are emerging and the sunshine is hitting our skin once again; it is clear that spring is on its way but is your outdoor space ready? Check out our top five tips for sprucing up your backyard space for spring.
1. Get Started With Your Spring Cleaning
Before revitalizing the style in your backyard, there is some maintenance that most likely needs to be done. Grab that garden hose to flush out the gutters, clean down any outdoor furniture, power wash surfaces and touch up paint that may have flaked away during the harsh winter months.
2. Lay Down Turf As a Lawn Alternative
Artificial grass is a great option for a large backyard lawn space in the suburbs, a yard by the lake or an urban patio in New York. Turf adds the feeling of an actual, well groomed lawn without the hassle of aerating, mowing, adding pesticides and fertilizing. Artificial Turf Supply’s residential series is high quality, long lasting and requires little to no maintenance.
3. Add Fresh Accessories
Tired of last year’s set-up but not looking to invest in new furniture? Add some exciting, new accessories. Water-resistant throw pillows, a weather-proof rug and an outdoor umbrella can easily spice up your space. Entertain your guests by installing a fire pit for your very own outdoor heating and smores station. This will be a hit with the kids!
4. Create a Tablescape for Outdoor Dinners
Dine al fresco from the comfort of your yard! Once you’ve covered the basics of a table and chair, adding some durable dinnerware, comfortable seat cushions and weather-proof decorative accents can make your small spring gatherings extra-memorable.
5. Add some Ambiance Lighting
Don’t leave your company in the dark! You’ll want to ensure that you have a proper lighting display to keep the party going! You don’t want to call it a night early due to inadequate lighting. You can add hanging LED lighting around your pergola, set up solar powered stake posts to illuminate your fence line with globe string lighting.
Before you know it your backyard will be looking springtime oasis! Now who is making the cut for the guest list?
