Every year, I look forward to opening my deck, inviting friends over and enjoying another summer season outdoors! Every year I go through my check list, to make sure to repair, add and renew my outdoor space. I really wanted to remodel and do some landscaping on my garden, but I never got around to doing it this year. I hope I can do it sometime in the future. A friend of mine suggested I use a local landscaping service, similar to Prestige Lawns (prestige-lawns.co.uk), but that will have to be for a future project. For now, I’m happy with updating my outdoor living space during the summer, and today, I’m going to share my Backyard Summer Checklist.
Backyard Summer Checklist
Repair
I always look at the furniture, my pots where herbs and tomatoes will be growing and the rugs and umbrellas first, to make sure the essentials are in good condition! Then, I ensure that I look over my decking, just in case it needs a visit from the local deck repair service.
Also I make sure we bought gas for the fireplace and grill, because nobody wants to run out of gas in the middle of the party, right?
What do you think?
Add To Your Space
Then I try to add plants, herbs and this year, we’ll need new torches as well. I was also looking at adding some extra storage space in my backyard and have been looking at pre-built sheds, but I might put off getting one until next year.
Renew
I like buying new plants every year to bring a pop of color. I also buy new umbrellas and new decor items like candles and plastic plates!
This year I also want to add two new things:
Lighting to allow me to read outside at night and a new TV!
In my search, I’ve found the SunBrite| Veranda Series Outdoor 4K UHD TV with HDR from Best Buy.
Here are some of the things I love about it:
- Weatherproof TV built for full-shade outdoor living areas
- Powder-coated rust-proof aluminum exterior protects internal components from rain, snow, dust, insects, humidity, and salt air.
- Up to 50% brighter than indoor TVs for improved viewing in brighter outdoor environments.
- 4K UHD with HDR
- Large weatherproof media bay makes cable connections easy. It has plenty of storage room for many popular media players, and thick gaskets seal out moisture and the elements
- Available in 43″, 55″, 65″ and 75″ sizes
When you want to host a fun family movie night outside, or have an outdoor party featuring the big game, the Veranda Series of SunBriteTVs is ready to make your favorite outdoor space, the destination.
Watching TV outside is so much fun!
This is what it looks like:
Also love that the SunBriteTV Veranda is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade outdoor spaces, like covered patios and screened-in porches. Some of my friends recommended that I consider retractable blinds for outdoor spaces from reputable trading companies like ICL to solve my outdoor shade conundrum. Taking this route, allows to keep the temperature of the area under control and additionally could provide maximum shade; it keeps the outdoor sections cool during summer.
Not sure if we will be able to add it this year, but it’s on my must have list!
I’m thinking about placing it on that large wall, behind the fireplace.

Your deck is so inviting! I want to get some outdoor rugs for our deck to make it look more cozy! But we did plant a lot of flowers this weekend and will be adding potted vegetables to our deck.

Seems like you’ve got all the necessities needed for an amazing backyard. Now, for me to get started on ours!

What a dream veranda! I wish we had a bigger lot so we could have a patio like that. That would be a nice place to relax, and oh, that would be perfect place for the boys to watch their scary movies or sports shows.

We just planted some fresh flowers in our window boxes and patio containers. I love the pop of fresh color those small changes made.

My husband and I have talked about getting a tv for our back patio. I will have to share this with him.

That is a good checklist for homeowners to get their back yard ready for summer. I love the decor looks!

I need to pull all the weeds and then I can start redoing my yard. I need to buy some new lights for my yard.

I LOVE the idea of having an outdoor living space like that. Maybe we’ll move to a warmer climate one day… Minnesota is not so much. 🙂 We are re-painting our deck this month, though, before my son’s graduation party

My deck needs to be spruced up this year for sure. Thanks for the awesome tips.
