Summer is just weeks away in Northeast Ohio, meaning it is time to officially open your backyard patio for business! There are several steps you can take to make sure your patio is ready for hosting countless barbecues and family gatherings.

Start by assessing your patio furniture. Check for loose screws or bolts, tears, or other damage. If any furniture is unsafe or cannot be fixed, its time to get rid of it.

After you assess, its time to clean. Wipe down your patio furniture with a damp cloth. Stains or dirt can be attacked using a combination of water and dish soap. Sometimes an old toothbrush can be a great tool for removing rust or other stains.

Add new décor. There are so many options for outdoor décor, from bright rugs to funky lights, wind chimes, and other decorations. Before you buy new, consider checking out items that you may have stored away and forgotten about. Sometimes when things are out of sight, we forget what we have. Your shed, garage, and basement are great places to check for long-forgotten décor that can find new life on your renewed patio!

Add colorful planters. This is a great way to add both color and greenery to your patio space. Again, try to repurpose items you already have. If you have old pots sitting around in the back of your shed or garage, rinse them and repaint them in bright, fun colors. You will save money and enjoy the process of repurposing items into something that will look brand new.

Install durable Nature Stone flooring. For the ultimate transformation, consider covering your existing concrete floor with Nature Stone. The stone epoxy blend is applied directly over your concrete, instantly hiding stains, cracks, and other imperfections forever. A Nature Stone patio is one that will look beautiful for years to come!
