The winter nights are drawing in, and it’ll soon be Christmas before we know it. In times like this, most of us retreat to our homes and sit in front of the TV with a Netflix series-or-two. That’s all well and good, but we don’t want to be forced to stay away from our luxurious backyard spaces. Even though the weather is cold and the sky is dark, there are plenty of ways to enjoy our garden to its fullest.
Get A Jacuzzi
Are you willing to push the boat out a little? Sitting in a jacuzzi in the middle of summer is fun, but it’s also a little too much at times. The scorching temperatures of the summer sun are enough to put anyone off after a certain period of time. If you’ve never sat in a jacuzzi during the pouring rain or freezing temperatures, you’re missing out. Although you’ll need to be careful with how long you stay in there, it’s a fantastic way of enjoying the outdoors and ditching the cold.
Stylish Lighting
The nights get darker as the winter progresses, and this means we often retreat to our houses by the early evening. The best way to prevent this from happening is to start installing stylish lighting. Whether this takes the form of floodlighting, spotlights or even Christmas lights is up to you. Ideally, you’ll mix these together to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
Install A Fire Pit
The worst thing about sitting outside in the winter is how cold the temperature feels. It doesn’t have to be that way. A temporary solution is to use mobile heaters and similar devices to provide relief. But, landscaping companies can also install a fire pit in your backyard, providing excellent heat and longevity. Once you’ve sampled the luxury of sitting around a fire pit, looking up at the stars, you might want to stay out forever!
Sit Around The Deck
If you’ve got a deck installed around your property, this is the perfect time to use it. You might think it’s only suitable for the summer months, but you don’t need to make many adjustments in this case. Ultimately, all you need in terms of warmth is a freestanding heating device to bring outside. However, keep in mind that decks can get very slippery during winter, so appropriate footwear is key.
Add Weatherproof Furniture
We’ve all traversed a garden-or-two that looks positively out of use in the winter months. Why is this the case? The furniture is covered with snow or dripping with water in damp conditions. In many cases, furniture simply can’t survive the winter unless it’s hauled away for hibernation. So, investing a little extra money in getting top-quality weatherproof furniture is another consideration. If you’re hoping to sit outside regularly, you’re going to need something durable to sit on.
Who wants to spend their life staring at a screen every night? We’ve put a lot of work into our backyards, and we shouldn’t let the winter stop us from enjoying them!
