6 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Outdoor Space

1. Power Washing

If your property hasn't been power-washed within the last year, then this is likely the single most transformative tip for you on this list.
Decks, patios, walkways, fences, outdoor furniture, and even the siding on your house all build up layers of dirt and grime that, in time, become hard to notice. An afternoon spent power washing could make your property look newer and more beautiful than you could even remember.
If you don’t happen to own a power washer, local department stores typically rent them out at an affordable price.

2. Plant Grass Seeds

The lawn is the underpinning of your yard’s aesthetic. Dead patches and withering grass may seem common enough to disregard, but the lush and vibrance of truly healthy grass does wonders for the charm and curb appeal of your yard. Planting grass seeds is an inexpensive and simple project, yielding beautiful results—particularly in Maryland’s spring and summer climate, which offers consistent rainfall and warming soil.

3. Potted Plants

Simple and flexible additions of color and personality to your outdoor space, potted plants have always been a staple in outdoor decoration. Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, plants, and prices, they’re hassle-free and perfect for experimenting with different layouts. Hang them on hooks. Hang them from fences. Decorate your stoop. These adornments can find a home in any outdoor area.

4. String Lights

Draped along the fence, hung above the patio, or wrapped around the trees, the warm glow of string lights elevates the atmosphere on those warm summer evenings spent relaxing or entertaining company. Solar-powered options are also available to save you the hassle of extra cords.

5. Wall Decor

Bare walls and fences are a missed opportunity to add some personality and flare to your space. Metal art, weatherproof signs, banners, flags, and even mirrors are great ways to display your creativity.

6. Faux Ivy

Elegant, subtle, and maintenance-free. Faux ivy helps add character to unattractive fencing and bare walls. Additionally, it can function as a visual barrier on fences, giving your property extra privacy.
