Is your backyard ready for summer? If not, no need to worry. Sandbrock Ranch is here to share some quick and easy backyard upgrade ideas that will help make your backyard the place to be this summer!
How to Upgrade your Backyard for Summer:
Give it a quick makeover! Spring cleaning isn’t just for the indoors! You can perk up your backyard quickly by taking a little time to scrub the patio, declutter the yard, trim the bushes and shrubs, and pop a few new flowers in the flowerpots or flower beds.
Put in a sitting area. Nothing makes your backyard more inviting than a few sturdy yet comfortable pieces of furniture where someone can take a seat, sip some lemonade, and cool off in the shade. Outdoor seating is more than merely functional, too. It can be just as stylish as your indoor furniture, thanks to sturdy, all-weather fabrics that resist the elements and come in a wide array of colors and styles. Don’t forget an umbrella to provide some much-needed afternoon shade.
Light it up! Nothing’s better than a summer night, and there’s no reason your outdoor fun has to end when the sun goes down. You can make your backyard or patio a perfect evening hangout spot with some string lights, garden lights, outdoor lanterns, and so on. Put some twinkling, solar-powered fairy lights in the flower beds and transform the whole backyard into a wonderland.
Become the grill master. Perhaps no activity is more synonymous with summer than the classic backyard barbecue. An ideal way to become a neighborhood hero is to invest in an affordable outdoor grill and host a cookout right in your backyard. Add an outdoor bar cart and those comfy chairs and couches that we already mentioned, and your only problem will be convincing your guests to leave when the food runs out.
Grow an herb or salsa garden. When you invite your friends and neighbors over for that big cookout, what could be more Texan than offering them fresh salsa made with ingredients from your very own garden? You’d be surprised how easy it is to grow pretty much everything you need to make delicious salsa right in your backyard! Don’t believe us? Check out this link to get started!
