No Reservation Required

Spring is just around the corner bringing blossoming trees; tulips, crocus, and Iris erupting; painting a colorful landscape. Fuel costs will encourage families to stay at home this summer. Why not transform your backyard into a vacation getaway? Provide a setting in which your landscaping can be admired and enjoyed whether spending a tranquil evening or a summer meal with friends on the deckYour deck or patio can come alive with the addition of a planter here and there. Arrange a conversation area with your deck chairs around a focal point. There are several options for the focal point. Perhaps a wood burning fire pit or wood burning fire bowl.If you prefer a patio coffee table, then there is the option of placing a table top fireplace on the coffee table. Table top or personal fireplaces burn pourable gel fuel. For the decorator who prefers not to have the mess of a wood burning fire pit, there is an alternative. One can purchase gel fuel log sets to place into the fire pit. The clean burning gel fuel leaves no mess behind.Create a soothing, tranquil atmosphere in your garden with the addition of a babbling backyard water fountain. Adding a fountain can be done quite simply. Purchase a fountain kit that comes with a pond-less water kit, which means that there is no standing water. The Pump requires a 110 volt ground fault interrupter outlet. Backyard fountains come in different styles and sizes. Shop around to find that one that suits your taste and fits your budget.The favored activity at any back yard function is, of course, eating. If there is room for a dining table and chairs on your deck there are many styles of deck and patio furniture options from which to choose. The table top fireplace can also be used as a dining table center piece. If the space allows, the backyard chef can build an outdoor kitchen in which to create culinary delights. However, this is not possible for everyone. In order to allow your guests to enjoy the aroma of the sizzling meat and avoid the smoke from the grill a smaller pad constructed of patio stones could be set to the side of the patio or deck on which to place the grill.With the number of styles of grills, grill/smoker combinations and smokers available take time to shop for the one that accomplishes what you want it to do,as well as to fit your budget. The standard stainless charcoal burning grill is still a favorite. The back yard chef can also enjoy producing slow cooked roasts and other larger pieces of meat from a wood smoker. Today the ceramic Kamado style, egg shaped grill, which also can be used as a smoker, is a popular choice. The selection of a grill is a personal issue, since the purpose you desire to meet and your budget determine which grill or combination will work best for you.Top off your getaway with a retractable awning to shade your deck or patio from the summer sun or shelter you and your guests from a summer rain. A pleasant vacation getaway is closer than you think. The tranquil retreat you create in your backyard will be there to comfort you many times over!
