Spice Up Your Outdoor Landscape For Thanksgiving!
As Thanksgiving rolls around, it's time to start thinking about how to make this year's gathering extra special. While most people focus on the dining room, why not think outside the box, or in this case, outside the house. Imagine transforming your patio into the ultimate space for a cozy, fall-inspired Thanksgiving dinner. With a few thoughtful upgrades, your outdoor area can become the perfect backdrop for warm memories and delicious meals.
A fire feature can dramatically enhance the comfort of your outdoor space. Fire pits provide both warmth and a natural gathering point, encouraging guests to linger even after the meal is over. Custom fire pits can be built into your existing patio design.
Thanksgiving, like most holidays, tends to be a busy day, with guests frequently moving between the kitchen and dining spaces. Why not extend that flow to your patio? Thoughtfully designed hardscaping using pavers or stone can create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor areas.
Good lighting's a must, especially for evening get-togethers. Outdoor lighting will help highlight your patio’s key features while also ensuring the safety and comfort of your guests.
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to embrace the many beautiful colors of fall, and your patio can reflect that seasonal charm. Choose hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive in cooler weather. Strategic placement of these plants in raised beds, planters, or around the perimeter of the patio can frame the space and provide visual interest. Decorate for Thanksgiving by transforming your patio with seasonal decor that reflects the harvest. Use pumpkins, gourds, and colorful fall leaves to create stunning centerpieces, and place these decorations on tables, steps, or even hang them from outdoor lights. A beautifully arranged table with warm-toned tablecloths and rustic plates will set a festive tone for your celebration. To make your patio feel like an extension of your home, add outdoor rugs that provide warmth and comfort to your seating area, complemented by decorative pillows and throws for pops of color and texture.
As Thanksgiving tends to mark the start of colder weather, it’s essential to get your patio ready for winter while you're sprucing it up for the holiday. This includes sealing pavers and stonework to protect them from frost damage, covering or storing outdoor furniture, and pruning plants to encourage healthy growth in the spring.
