While winter is still in full swing, it’s never been a better time to start thinking about your landscaping and hardscaping vision for the upcoming spring. Not only can this planning break the winter blues, but it can also help you find a contractor before they book up for the season. The guide below offers three possible springtime yard projects to help you start brainstorming.

Ways to Renovate Your Outdoor Living Space

1. Patio

A patio can serve as a gathering area for family and friends. It can also be a place to sit quietly by yourself with a cup of coffee, taking in the beauty of the early morning.

Consider adding a pergola to provide shade from the sun, outdoor lights so the patio is usable after dark, and a fire pit so that you can keep enjoying your garden even when temperatures drop in the fall.

2. Outdoor Kitchen

During warmer months, the outdoors are the perfect place to entertain, but cooking indoors and transporting everything outside can be a challenge. An outdoor kitchen makes it easy to prepare and serve food to friends and family.

Prioritize ample counter space where you can set prepared food and a built-in cooler to make storing drinks easy. You can also add unique touches—like a pizza oven.

3. Walkway

A walkway can allow people to view the full beauty of your garden landscaping without risking the health of the plants or creating unsightly traffic lines through the grass.You can opt for pavers that match your outdoor kitchen and patio.
