Backyard family activities

Now that you have gotten your backyard all spruced up for the summer, try out some fun backyard activities with friends and family:

Outdoor movie night
Bring the big screen out back and add a few air mattresses for a fun outdoor movie night. Serve popcorn and bottled drinks for easy clean up.

Twister
Remember the game twister? Create your own Twister board on the grass! Buy spray paint in blue, yellow, red and orange and spray circles on the grass. Next time you cut the grass, it will magically be gone!

Relax under the lights
String white Christmas lights over your outdoor sitting area, down porch polls and anywhere else you see fit.

Camping
Remember that old tent you have sitting in the garage? Put it up for the kids for an evening of camping. Throw in some snacks and drinks and memories will be made.

Summertime yard tips

There are a few tips that can help your yard look beautiful this summer and we are going to share a few of our favorites with you right here!

First, always remember to stay hydrated when you are spending time outside in the heat. Carry a water bottle with you and take sips frequently.

Yard tips:

Water your grass in the morning, before 10am. This allows the grass time to dry off and will decrease the chance of mold and disease.

Do not over water. 1/2 inch of water two times a week is ideal.

Keep weeds at bay. Moving and weed eating helps as well as weed dissolving chemicals.

Use a sharp lawn mower blade. And cut your grass at a higher setting. Most grasses thrive better at a higher level.
