Winter Landscape Ideas to Make the Season Bright
Leaves and flowers are mostly gone, but your landscape can still look good in the winter if it’s designed properly. Here are some winter landscape ideas that will keep your yard lovely to look at this winter.
Plants That Perform
You can always count on evergreens to provide steady color throughout the winter. Implementing bushes and trees with berries like crabapple trees will also add vibrance to your landscape. Flowers like Sweet Peas will bloom throughout the winter if planted in the late fall. Other plants that will stand out in the snow are trees with interesting bark like river birch, Japanese flowering cherry or the paperbark maple.
Accessories for Charm
When the overall colors outside are brown and gray, it’s a pleasant surprise to see color and flashes of life in your landscaping. Look for accessories like yard art to liven up your landscape in the winter. Reflective surfaces bounce winter’s light around. Bird feeders and houses will bring birds to your yard along with signs of life. Incorporating a comprehensive exterior lighting plan into your landscape will brighten up your yard on long winter nights and welcome friends to your door.
Winter Maintenance
There are a few maintenance chores you can put on your winter to-do list that will keep your landscape looking fresh. Being cautious about not spreading ice-melting salt on your lawn will prevent bare spots from forming in your grass. Keeping your hanging baskets and window boxes filled with sticks, pinecones, berries and lights will liven up your curb appeal as well.

The Best Patio Heaters for Your Outdoor Living Space
The nights are getting colder but you might still want to spend time in your outdoor living area. So what are your options for heating an outdoor space? We’ve put together a list of the best patio heaters for your outdoor living space.
Fuel Sources
As you start to look at your options, keep in mind that patio heaters operate on a few different fuel sources.
Propane: Propane heaters warm up spaces very quickly and are ideal for larger spaces. They are typically portable with wheels. Use caution, though: They should not be used in enclosed spaces where they might cause carbon monoxide buildup.
Natural Gas: Because they are connected to a home’s natural gas line, natural gas heaters are more permanent. They may require a licensed plumber to run a natural gas line to the patio. Natural gas is typically a less expensive power source compared to propane.
Electric: You won’t need to buy fuel for an electric heater but you will need to replace heating lamps occasionally. Because they have no open flame they are considered safer for some families. Most electric heaters will have a power cord so you’ll want to make sure you have outdoor outlets or plan to have an electrician install one in a good location before you buy.
Large Spaces
If you’re looking to heat a larger outdoor space, a propane heater is the way to go. This propane heater from AZ Patio Heaters provides you with a 10 to 12-foot diameter of warmth and has wheels for portability.

An alternative option would be a pyramid-style heater. It doesn’t heat quite as much space but it does spread the warmth more evenly.

Small Spaces
For smaller outdoor spaces, you may want to consider a tabletop heater. Table top heaters are typically secured to a patio table, usually where an umbrella would fit. They are easily portable and are great for smaller gatherings.

Electric Patio Heaters
Electric patio heaters are safe to use in enclosed spaces and have the option of being mounted on ceilings and walls so they take up less floor space. They are easy to use as you just plug them in and flip a switch.

Electric heaters can also be freestanding and come in tabletop sizes as well.

Best Patio Heaters and Safety
Some safety precautions come with the use of any heater powerful enough to warm a patio. Make sure your heater is away from walls, patio furniture and flammable objects in the case it tips over. Keep a fire extinguisher handy and never walk away with it still on. You’ll also want a cover to go over your heater when it’s not in use to keep bugs, dirt and debris from getting into it, which can cause fires.
