Outdoor Living Areas To Enjoy This Fall

However big or small, and whatever your taste and budget, well-designed outdoor living areas can make enjoying the outdoors even more special. Spending time outdoors can help you refresh your mind, re-connect with loved ones, and make a nice evening, an exceptional evening.

A well-designed outdoor seating area must take into account how the spaces will be used and the lifestyle of the users. A space for quiet reflection is very different than a place intended for entertainment. Large group of people or just a few, the space needs to fit it’s intention.

We present seven ideas on how to make your outdoor seating area perfect for you.

A Place In The Sun

Sometimes it is just nice to sit in the sun. An outdoor living space such as this one is ideal for reading, chilling and just enjoying a nice afternoon. The flagstone used in this project creates an elegant and relaxing  space to relax.

Made For Entertaining

For those who entertain often, consider what amenities might make a gathering even more special. In this case, a unique fire feature keeps everyone toasty on chill evenings.

A Place To Chill

Seating areas do not necessarily need to be anything more than a few chairs (comfy rockers in this case) and a pretty place to free the mind.

Memories Are Made Here

Memories are made around the fire pit. Toasting marshmallows, telling stories, laughing at jokes. All of these things are possible in a well designed outdoor seating area with a fire pit.

Something Different

Make your outdoor living area unique. In this case we added a large (and very heavy) fire boulder to this patio. It is a one of a kind conversation starter.

Make It Beautiful

An outdoor living area  must be in a beautiful setting. Surround yourself with plants that flower and have interesting textures.

An Evening Paradise

In a complicated world, sometimes simply enjoying the sunset in your backyard is all that we really need. Sit back and relax by the fire or enjoy dinner under the stars, there is no reason your outdoor living space can’t have all the feature you dream of.

Mulch Mold – The Weird Stuff Growing In My Garden

You step outside one morning, coffee in hand, and something catches your eye. Your mulch looks like it’s been attacked by a pile of scrambled eggs. Or maybe it’s foamy. Or crusty. Either way, it’s weird—and definitely not what you expected when you paid for fresh mulch.
