Planning an outdoor space can sometimes become challenging. Here are a few ideas to help make any outdoor space an oasis for everyone to enjoy for all seasons.

Create A Private Space

Living in an urban area can mean compromising privacy. There are many ways to re-gain some privacy to that space. A great option is to add fencing to enclose the area. There are many styles of fencing to choose from. A favorite option is a wood panel fence. These type of fences are sturdy, made to last, and very customizable with color and design. Fences also help create a great space for entertaining, and a place for relaxation after a long day. Add some extra warmth with an outdoor fire pit or heating lamp for the family to enjoy during the fall season.

Add Some Greenery

Hanging baskets can be a great addition to any outdoor space. Crafting a hanging basket can seem like a challenge, but a few easy steps will help these suspended gardens flourish. First, it’s key to form a strong base for your planting. Start by adding a moss liner that has been soaked in water and cut to fit your basket. Fill your basket with potting soil, then choose a strong hook (your basket will be heavy once all the plants are inside). Choose healthy, well-established plants, and be sure to check their root depth; plants with very deep roots might not be suited for the limited space in a hanging basket. With these simple tips your hanging baskets with look amazing!
