These warmer days have us thinking about spending more time outside. Are you already planning backyard barbeques and cocktail parties on your patio? As you begin your yard cleanup, you may find yourself wishing your entertaining areas were updated or refreshed. Here are a few ideas to get your outdoor spaces looking their best for the season.

Add Seating

We love seeing decks with built-in seating options. Ideal for larger guest gatherings that outgrow your outdoor table, these built-in seats can also function as a place for your potted plants or a place for your child to relax with a book.

Add Color

A bit of extra color goes a long way, and you can experiment with bolder colors in your outdoor space without apologizing. Try incorporating color with the pots you plant in, with a bright outdoor rug, or with colored tiles throughout the space.

Add Patterns

We love decks, but there is something about a patio that includes patterned pavers that add design intrigue to even the smallest of yard spaces. Pavers are an affordable way to create a unique space without relying on traditional concrete.

Add New Spaces

Finally, when you work with the team at Rusco, we can help you customize your outdoor space based on your lifestyle and goals. Perhaps a traditionally shaped deck won’t work with your home, or you are more creative than a typical square concrete patio. Let us hear more about what you hope for and together we will develop a design you will love and use.

It’s never too early to get started on your outdoor project. Give us a call today! We will guide you through the design process, as well as professional install your final product. You will love inviting your first guests to enjoy your new outdoor oasis!
