When designing an outdoor space, start from the ground up.According to the experts at Belgard® Hardscapes, homeowners can enjoy their patio, poolscape or driveway well into the fall season with a few key upgrades:
• Install a fireplace or fire pit as part of a backyard space to serve as a much-loved gathering spot and a complementing, permanent part of an overall outdoor living design.
• Explore large-format pavers for a natural stone look that mimics the appearance and texture of slate, flagstone or hand-chiseled rock.
• Take advantage of modular units like grill islands, brick ovens or wood boxes to create a customized outdoor space.
• Plant fall perennials that bloom during the season, including tall grasses, mums and certain varieties of hydrangeas.
• Define a space and add extra seating with built-in seat walls and add ottomans, throw pillows and stools to create an inviting outdoor setting.
