How To Setup Your Outdoor Space For Holiday Gatherings

The holiday season is fast approaching, and homeowners are starting to plan for this year’s holiday gatherings. One aspect of preparing for holiday events that is often overlooked is preparing the outdoor space. A well-prepared outdoor space can transform a simple holiday gathering into a memorable and enjoyable experience for guests. In this article, we will discuss five easy steps to set up your outdoor space for holiday gatherings.

5 steps For Holiday Gatherings

1) Patio Covers: One of the essential features of a comfortable outdoor space is having some form of coverage from the elements. A patio cover is an excellent option to give your outdoor space a sense of enclosure, provide shade from the sun, and protect you and your guests from any potential rain during the holiday season. Some great options for patio covers include pergolas, covered patios, and retractable awnings.

2) Fire elements, fire pit, fireplaces: During the holiday season, having a fire element in your outdoor space can quickly create an intimate and cozy ambiance. Fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and custom-built fire features are great choices for creating a welcoming atmosphere. They can also provide enough warmth for outdoor activities to continue as the temperatures drop during the colder months.

3) Outdoor kitchens: Preparing food indoors during the holidays can be challenging, as it can get overcrowded and result in an uncomfortable living space. The solution? An outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens are a perfect option for homeowners who love to cook and entertain guests during holidays and other events. With built-in grills, sinks, refrigerators, and storage cabinets, outdoor kitchens can make for a fun and convenient dining experience.

4) Interlocking pavers: Maintaining a sturdy, safe, and attractive surface is crucial for your outdoor space. Interlocking pavers are excellent for creating a beautiful and durable surface for your patio, walkways, and driveways. They come in various patterns, shapes, and colors, making it easy for you to customize your space to your liking.

5) Light it up: Lighting sets the mood in any space, especially during the holiday season. Adding outdoor lighting can highlight key features of your space and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests. String lights, garden torches, spotlights, and lanterns are all great options for outdoor lighting.

Cypress Landscape Project

TRU Landscape Services just finished a project in Cypress. Cypress is a city right on the border of Orange County and Los Angeles County. These were the perfect customers to work for. They knew what they wanted and had a good idea about how much money it would cost to achieve their landscape dream. This project is what our company is geared for, complete landscape construction. The first part of the work was to remove everything from the back yard. We demoed the existing concrete, patio cover and the existing sod. We could have removed the front yard at the same time, but the customers wouldn’t have a driveway to park, so we waited. After removing the back yard we installed the new footings for the patio cover and several pipes including the new gas line. We installed a new gas line for the new BBQ and Fire Pit. After installing all of the pipes we started forming for the concrete.

Cypress Concrete Install

TRU Landscape Services can provide all of your outdoor needs including concrete work. We designed this entire back yard. After forming up the outer edges of the concrete, we laid out the Barbeque design and the location of the Fire Pit. We always get the customers approval before moving forward. After the customer gave us their approval, we poured the back yard concrete. The back yard concrete was a Roman Stamp with 2 different colors in the concrete. The pour went, just as planned. Even though we are a landscape contractor we install concrete on a weekly basis. As one crew was installing the concrete, another crew was working on the planter wall. This planter wall had a concrete cap poured in place with Stack Stone on the side. This is a very detailed wall to build, but our crew did a great job!!

Cypress Hardscape Install

This project had a lot of hardscape. TRU Landscape Services installed the BBQ, planter walls, fireplace, Stack Stone and landscape curbing. All of these services are very detailed. Our crews did great work on all of these projects. As we mentioned earlier we designed this entire project, but we continued to meet with the customers on a regular basis. Every morning that we had a new install to the hardscape, we would call the day before and have our customers meet with us, it took about 10-15 minutes. If the customer presents us a set of blue prints, we still like to meet on a regular basis. When we are dealing with concrete it’s always better to meet for a few minutes then have to tear out the project and start over. The great thing is that our customers didn’t have to hire more than one company. During one meeting with our customers they mentioned they wanted all new windows, so we gave them a phone number of a company we have used in the past. It turned out that, that company was a little cheaper than the estimate they already had, so they went with our referral and the customers were very satisfied. We also referred a painting company we have used in the past, they loved his work. It takes one call – one company and that’s TRU Landscape Services. We take pride in every detail. Call today if you have any questions about hardscaping.

Orange County Patio Cover

TRU Landscape Services installed the wood patio cover in Cypress. This patio cover has an enclosed roof, which means you can enjoy it all year round. Under this patio cover is the BBQ which means if it’s raining out you can still enjoy a hamburger. We primed and painted the entire patio cover. TRU Landscape Services installs several different styles of patio covers.

Orange County Driveways

After finishing the back yard we moved to the front yard. In the front yard our customers chose a Slate Stamp for the driveway. This stamp looks like a versai pattern. At the same time we were installing the driveway our crew’s were starting the stucco install on the entire house, and the install of the new front entry way. TRU Landscape Services also installed the front of the house with stack stone. The customers were involved with the type of stone & color, we did help guide them in this process.
