All-Season Outdoor Entertainment with a Blend of Hardscape & Landscape
When summer is over, does your outdoor living space
become obsolete? If you have an entertaining space in your backyard, it’s absolutely essential that you take advantage of the perfect Autumn weather. Your outdoor space can be as inviting, comfortable and stylish as the interior, but it also offers fresh air and nature. Embrace the bonfire as the main entertainment. Roll your bar cart outside for golden apple cocktails. Keep your favorite cardigan by the door so you can easily move your party outdoors on a whim...
Before the temperatures dip too far, why not rethink your home’s exterior living spaces? With the right combination of landscaping
and hardscaping, you can turn your backyard into a year-round entertainment hotspot – even in the winter. Any of all of these upgrades can be added to boost your outdoor living potential so you can host parties regardless of the season outside. It will help make your backyard the hangout of choice for the whole neighborhood!
Ideas for a Year-Round Entertaining Space Outside
There is no reason to go into hibernation just because summer is over. Consider upgrading your outdoor living spaces and make them all-season ready by adding a few of these great design ideas:
- Install an Outdoor Fireplace: Instead of using a fire pit, which leaves you exposed to the elements, why not create a backyard patio with a built-in fireplace. This lets you entertain despite colder temperatures, keeps the patio area warm and if your patio is covered, you can entertain even while the snow falls outside.
- Add a Covered Patio & Entertainment Zone: If you have not done so already, now is the time to add a cover or roof to your entertainment hotspot in the backyard. Even possibly add a hardscape wall or two to block any winds that might bring rain and snow onto the porch. A covered entertainment space outdoors lets you continue to enjoy your patio without worrying about rain or snow.
- Add a Heated Pool: One of the best things about a pool is that you can use it year-round if you have a heating unit installed. Even when the outdoor temperatures drop, heated pools let you adjust the water temperature accordingly so you can continue to benefit from swimming and relaxing. Why not add a hot tub with a waterfall feature while you are at it? You can certainly enjoy your hot tub year-round.
- Add an Outdoor Kitchen: Why cook indoors just because the weather is chilly? You can prepare your meals outside by adding a kitchen or grill to your covered entertainment space. Enjoy freshly grilled chicken and steak even when the snow is falling – and no need to bundle up and stand in the snow while you cook it either!
