A Few (Cheap) Ways to Upgrade Your Outdoor Space

1. Refresh your patio with pavers.

An awesome alternative to a standard poured patio are concrete pavers. They add style and character to your backyard and are easy to repair or replace. If a paver is cracked or has an unsightly blemish, it can be easily flipped over, in some cases, or replaced altogether.

2. Natural Stone

Including a natural element like flagstone in your patio design can really bring an organic feel to your space. Hard architectural lines are broken up by the stones which also provide wide flat surfaces on which to place furniture.

3. Decorate and Furnish

Bring new energy to a space by purchasing and installing new decorations and furniture. Pre-assembled pieces are easy to set up and incur no extra costs. A fresh coat of paver sealer, new LED lighting or new landscaping are some cost-effective ways to reinvigorate your space.

4. Heat Things Up With a Fire Pit or Fire Table

A fire pit, fire table or fireplace, when combined with comfortable furniture, can really turn you backyard into an inviting gathering place. Fire pits can be built in a day, so there won’t be much time away from your yard. Even though build-time is short, fire pits provide long-lasting comfort, function and beauty to your property. They are affordable as well.

5. LED Lighting
