Preparing your backyard for fall

Page 1


+ • The fall season is a special time for any homeowner. It’s a season that brings cooler temperatures and vibrant shades of red and orange, dressing the outdoors with a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. • This means preparing ahead of time to make sure your outdoor space remains tidy, safe, and easy to enjoy. • It’s a perfect opportunity to revisit your outdoor design and set up a more fall-centric layout, keeping your home beautifully festive throughout the changing seasons.


• Gazebos have grown to be a popular addition to many homes, helping create an intimate exterior space to enjoy the changing weather with friends and family. • Gazebos come in many shapes and sizes, and serve as an easy way to transfer your fall style outdoors with a structural template for fall accessories and colors. • A great benefit of gazebos is that they can be utilized all year. They help create a cozy and comfortable outdoor area, perfect for the closeness the fall season inspires.


• Pergolas are known to be very adaptable to accessorizing, much like the gazebo. They are generally used as either standalone structures or home extensions. • Pergolas provide your space with shade during the day and privacy at night. Pergolas are commonly designed in a way that mixes with natural elements like shrubs, flora, and other foliage to blend with your garden area. • Aside from pergolas being low maintenance, they can be modified to house other festive décor, furniture, and seating accommodations.


• Cabanas are usually thought of as a luxury structure, commonly seen at hotels or poolside resorts. Although this is a popular outdoor structure for leisure and relaxation, many cabanas are well-suited for private use. • During the fall season, cabanas can give you and your visitors an abundance of privacy and comfort. • The presence of a cabana in your outdoor space provides your home with a memorable look of elegance and tranquility.


• Similar to a pergola, a ramada is a freestanding structure, but also includes a closed roof. This is very beneficial during colder seasons because the roof closure helps trap heat within the ramada, giving your family and guests a relaxed and snug social atmosphere. • Traditional ramadas were built for sun protection in warmer climates, but today, ramadas offer a wide selection of designs specific to any seasonal occasion. • Ramadas are especially great for festive parties and gettogethers with family and friends, since they are capable of sheltering a large open space.


• Sunrooms provide your family and friends with a serene environment of refuge. Sunrooms also come in a range of sizes and styles. • Gardening is a popular use for a sunroom, allowing you to cultivate your plants throughout the year, protecting them from harsh weather. This is a great way to not only improve the look of your home, but also your quality of life. • The windows that surround sunrooms give your family and guests a space of tranquility, without trading in the vibrant fall atmosphere.


• A popular place to stow away holiday decorations and seasonal clothing, an expertly built shed is primarily thought of as the ultimate option in outdoor space storage. • With that being said, sheds can be used for so much more than housing boxes. They come in many sizes and designs, perfect for a workspace or leisure room away from the house. • A shed can also add a new dimension to your outdoor space, as well as keep your patio chair pillows safe from wind, rain, and snow throughout the colder months.


• Decorating for fall is a fun and exciting time of year. Extending your indoor style outdoors is all about balance and symmetry. • It’s important to take into consideration the actual materials your outdoor decorations are made of. Materials like wicker or wood can handle most cooler temperatures and weather conditions, especially if they are treated with a sealant. • A traditional and affordable form of decoration has always been the use of floral arrangements. Brighter hues of red, orange, and yellow give great contrast to the natural cooler colors of bare trees and snow covered ground.


• Plenty of vegetables can be grown in cooler temperatures, and are, in fact, intended primarily to be planted for fall weather.

• Spinach, arugula, and other types of lettuce germinate and mature quite quickly in cooler temperatures. • Generally, however, much of your fall garden preparation starts in midsummer. Depending on your location, you may experience an earlier fall frost or perhaps more sporadic weather changes. In this case, preparation time should be specific to your climate.
