Spring is just around the corner, and we all know what that means… It’s time for a spring clean! Only kidding, the cleaning can wait. After all, why spend time cooped up indoors when the mercury is finally starting to rise, the days are becoming longer and more drawn out, and the flowers are in bloom.
No, spring isn’t a time for cleaning. It’s a time to get outside and enjoy everything the season has to offer… although your backyard may need a little TLC to bring it back to its former glory after the winter.
Here are 5 simple ways to get your backyard ready for those beautiful spring days
Stop and take a look at your backyard through the eyes of your guests. What will they see when they first walk through? Clean, refresh, trim, and plant to make sure your backyard gives off a fantastic first impression. Try to keep pathways clear, and move potted plants to hide any of the more unsightly areas.
There’s a growing interior design trend for ‘bringing the outside in’, but we think it’s better to bring the inside out! Transform your backyard into a place where it’s going to be easy to enjoy the season; make sure your BBQ is ready to fire up, choose a stylish hidden outdoor TV lift island for fresh air big screen TV viewing and put your outdoor furniture in place.
Spring can be a glorious season…. But it can take a few weeks for your backyard shrubs to really come back to life after the winter. If your plants and flowers aren’t yet as vibrant as they could be, give your yard a helping hand by adding a few other pops of color, like a bright parasol or a bold seat cushion.
Luckily, spring brings with it some pretty amazing weather, but a few cloudy spells aren’t unheard of. If you haven’t already thought about backyard heating, then now is the time to do so. Don’t let a cool breeze ruin a lovely spring evening in your backyard; always expect the unexpected… and be prepared!
If you’re planning on spending more time outdoors this spring, now is the time to start thinking about making outdoor living easier for yourself, and for your family. If you don’t want the hassle of bringing items in and out of the house all the time, make sure you’ve got plenty of outside storage room.
Here’s some top advice: Try not to leave the prep until the last minute. The moment those temperatures start to pick up, you’ll be glad you have a stunning, spring-ready backyard that’s ready and raring to go!
