5 Ways to Prepare Your Yard for Summer

1. Plant your trees and flowers

As summer approaches, there's no better time to freshen up your yard and create an inviting outdoor space. Enhance your surroundings by planting a variety of trees and flowers that thrive in warm weather. Our flower of choice would be the Begonia! This will add vibrant colors and pleasant fragrances to your yard and also provide some shade this summer. 

2. dress up your patio

A good way to get your yard ready for summer is by giving your patio a stylish makeover. Add a splash of color and comfort by investing in new outdoor furniture, cozy cushions, and a vibrant rug. Complete your outdoor patio with potted plants, decorative lighting, and some accessories to create an inviting space where you can relax and entertain this summer! We love finding fun tips to reimagine a space!

3. Add Fresh mulch

Adding a fresh layer of mulch to your flower beds and garden area will make those new trees and flowers pop. New mulch helps provide a clean and polished look and enhances the overall aesthetic of the yard. 

4. treat your lawn

Don't forget about your yard! Start by mowing to the appropriate height and clearing away any debris or weeds. Apply fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and consider aerating the soil to boost water absorption. These simple steps will help you achieve a lush, vibrant yard that’s ready to thrive in the summer heat.

5. install outdoor lighting

Transform your yard into a summer oasis by adding outdoor lighting. Illuminate walkways, highlight architectural features, and create a warm ambience with strategically placed lights. Consider adding string lights, lanterns, and pathway lighting to enhance both functionality and the aesthetics of your outdoor space! Adding some additional lighting to our Paxton floorplan will really elevate your home!
