Tips//Revamping Outdoor Living

It's our favorite time of year here at K&E! We love late summer nights spent in the backyard relaxing with family and a few s'mores. If your yard could use a little work (and don't worry we've all been there), summer is the perfect time to fix it up! Here's a few quick DIY tips to spruce up your backyard. (Wanting to go a little bigger? Check out some of our outdoor living ideas and give us a call!)

  • Refinish your deck! If your deck is worn and weathered, a simple refinishing is a quick fix! Sand off the top layer until deck is fresh and smooth, apply a few coats of stain, or some sealant and paint and Viola! It's like new!
Add a fire pit! There's no better way to spend a summer night than huddled around a fire. Most home improvement stores have fire pits available, or you can do a quick one yourself by stacking paver stones. (Consider adding the second outer layer if you've got little ones around, it will keep them from getting too close!)

  • Add some new seating! A few fresh pieces may be all you need to give your backyard a quick facelift. Adding pillows and cushions is a great way to add some color to you yard as well. To build this Brick and Board seating simply stack 6 cinder blocks on each side and put 4 planks between them, add another block for the back with 2 more planks and for the finishing touch add a few cushions for comfort!

We hope you have a safe summer, filled with fun memories with the ones you love!
