Implement these simple touches to spruce up your patio for the summer:

Tidy up: 

Before you start your patio makeover, take a look around and clean up anything that may have become dirty during the fall and winter seasons. Power-wash walkways, remove dead foliage, wash windows, and clean outdoor lighting fixtures.

Add decoration: 

Decorate your patio with garden planters, new furniture and framed pictures to create a more inviting and homey feel. Fill the planters with flowers that will bloom during the spring and summer seasons.

Patio lighting: 

Adequate exterior lighting is a key component of your home security. Adding string lights not only provides safety but also adds a warm and inviting ambiance for you and your guests.

Add entertainment: 

Build a bar or bonfire pit for a fun reason to get together. But don’t forget to include a few other activities such as cards, ping pong or croquet to keep your guests happy and entertained all summer long.
