As spring welcomes warmer days to Bergen County, many homeowners are eager to reconnect with friends and family in their outdoor spaces. After spending considerable time apart, creating a comfortable and inviting environment for outdoor gatherings has never been more important. Here are seven essential ways to prepare your landscape for memorable outdoor entertaining.
Create Comfortable Seating Areas
Thoughtful seating arrangements form the foundation of any welcoming outdoor space. Consider creating multiple conversation areas that allow guests to spread out naturally while maintaining comfort. When selecting outdoor furniture, invest in weather-resistant pieces that can withstand Bergen County's variable spring weather. We recommend having furniture covers ready for unexpected weather changes to protect your investment.
