5 Ways to Refresh Your Outdoor Living Space

Scott Marks

Summer is almost here, which means backyard barbecues and relaxing on patios after a long day. Before you can do that, though, you might want to refresh your outdoor living space to make it feel brand new again. Charlotte residents should take a look at both their landscaping and living areas and notice where they might need some improvement. If you need inspiration, keep reading to learn how to update your outdoor landscaping today!

Thoroughly Clean the Space

Before you begin updating or refreshing your space, you should thoroughly clean your outdoor living area. After the cold winter months, dirt and dust will have accumulated on your patio and on the outside of your house. The best time to take care of this is right before summer begins so you have a nice, clean area to enjoy on summer nights. Start by shaking out rugs, cushions and pillows. Most items that meant to be stored on the patio are water resistant, so you can enlist the help of your garden hose.  Hosing down your patio will clear almost everything away. You can use a mild dish soap and water to wipe away debris from doors and windows.

Install Synthetic Grass

What’s more refreshing than a lawn that always stays green and never needs to be watered or mowed? Adding synthetic grass to your Charlotte home can create a more welcoming environment just in time for summer get togethers with friends and family. At Southeast Turf, our team installs realistic and durable synthetic grass at homes for various uses. Whether you have kids, pets, or just need to save time when it comes to landscaping, synthetic grass is perfect for your home!

New Furniture

Your outdoor living space should be a direct extension of your home, which is to say it should be comfortable. One of the best ways to refresh your outdoor space is by updating the furniture on your patio. This is where you can get creative and bring in pops of color or interesting designs.  After a long day, you deserve a place to relax. Consider adding a sectional, lounge chairs or a day bed to create the perfect relaxing environment.

Plant a Garden

The great thing about synthetic grass is that it pairs well with other natural elements. Charlotte, NC residents can incorporate real plants into their backyard oasis by adding a garden of flowers or produce. If you want a low-maintenance option to go along with your synthetic grass, you can plant flowers and plants that are native to Charlotte. These plants typically survive with little to no maintenance.

Add a Cooking Area

There is nothing quite like barbecuing on a nice summer day, which is why an updated cooking area can refresh your space and make it even more functional. If you aren’t looking for an expensive update, there are smaller grills available that can be moved around and adjusted to fit in your space. Your friends and family will love coming over for parties this summer when you have the necessary tools for grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.

Don’t be afraid to have fun with your outdoor living space design. Creating a one-of-a-kind outdoor living space can bring friends together or create a sanctuary to relax in after a long day. This summer, try making a few of these improvements for your home. Whether you choose to take on a DIY project or enlist the help of Southeast Turf to install synthetic grass, these ideas can help you create a space you love. We offer free on-site consultations to get a feel for your space and make your landscape designs a reality.

Artificial Grass Reviews in North Carolina

Ron C.

Apex, NC

The Marks Family are true professionals. Answer calls/texts immediately. They treated my home like it was there own. They also hold their employees to the same standard. Clean and efficient, when they left it was like (other than the job) they were never there.

Sandra M.

Fort Mill, SC

We can’t say enough about the great service and products from Southeast Turf! From the first meeting to the installation, they were great to deal with. Not to mention how awesome my yard looks. I think several of my neighbors are going to have it done as well because they too were impressed! Thank you!!

Chris H.

Monroe, NC

I had a small fenced in area off our patio that our dogs used. Southeast Turf installed artificial grass and it looks great. The team showed up on time and did a great job. They are booked out for a few months because they are in high demand. We love our new dog area. No more dirty dog feet, no more digging and no more smell!!

Lisa M.

Surfside Beach, SC

Turf installation at our beach home. Two large dogs with a small side yard creates challenges for potty time and maintaining your yard. They were able to solve this concern with turf installation that provides a safe area for our furbabies and a beautiful physical appearance as well. The installation was professionally handled and we are loving our new area!
