Spring is Nature's Way of Saying 'Let's Party

The saying "Spring is nature's way of saying 'Let's Party'" is so true. I start thinking about hanging out in the backyard, having a party and grilling burgers, walking around in the cool grass in my bare feet (minus the dog doodoo), and sitting around the fire pit at night with a glass of wine and talking with friends. To make this a summer to remember here are some DIY Landscaping ideas to get your backyard ready to entertain.
Create a bit of ambiance and drama in your backyard with lighting. String Lights, tiki torches, candles, solar path lights, cracked logs lamps ( I love these). You don't have to get crazy with lighting, a strand or two around your seating area will be perfect. If you don't have outdoor outlets (like me) use solar or battery operated lights.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Want to bring some warmth to your backyard? No better way to heat up your outdoor space than with a Fire Pit or a Chimenea. Enjoy those chilly nights sitting around the fire and create memories with friends that will last a lifetime.
WARM ME UP!
Fire up the Grill! Add some sizzle to your backyard with an outdoor kitchen. Its a great way to stay connected with friends while you whip up summer dishes all season long. Get ready to heat things up!
SIZZLE FEATURE
Landscaping can create a dramatic backdrop for your entertaining needs, but it doesn't need to be complicated. To make your garden have a cohesive feel, use similar plants through out and add dimension using a variety of heights. If you want to keep it simple use hanging and potted plants around your seating areas.
