1. Hot Tub
Picture this: you’ve come back home from a long day at work, the evening air feels quite nippy already, and you are in the mood for some truly relaxing, pampering times. What better than an outdoor hot tub, to deliver the perfect balance between utter relaxation and warm coziness?
Hot tubs are a fabulous addition to any backyard, regardless of the amount of space that you have available. At Ace Swim & Leisure, we offer a range of hot tubs that can fit most patios. We also sell all the hot tub accessories that you will need to keep your tub in perfect shape, all year around.
2. Swim Spa
Another great idea, when it comes to renewing your patio, is to install a swim spa. Swim spas are different from hot tubs in that they are larger and, as the name itself suggests, they allow you to swim as well as relax.
If you are a keen swimmer who would love to fit in a daily swim, or if your children enjoy their swimming sessions and would like to do even more at home, then a swim spa is a great option.
But that’s not all! Our swim spas include a number of fantastic features, such as hydromassage jets, comfortable seats, LED lights, touchscreen control display, and smart water management systems. The cherry on top, though, is their powerful swim jet, which creates a stream of water strong enough to walk, jog or swim against.
The perfect way to get fit, stay fit, or simply let your sore muscles soak and enjoy the hydromassage, all from the comfort of your own back garden.
3. Patio Furniture
The right type of furniture can transform a dull, neutral-looking patio into something out of a holiday daydream. Depending on your style, taste, personality, and on how you and your family use your outdoor space, you can rest assured that there will be a patio furniture range that’s just perfect for you.
Whether you are a fan of rustic, nature-inspired designs that seamlessly fit with your luscious garden, or if you would like something sleeker and more modern, Ace Swim & Leisure can help.
Create quiet corners for pleasant conversations, relaxing areas for an afternoon coffee, and even a space where you can dine alfresco over a glass of wine. Beautiful, great quality, and durable patio furniture is truly a must-have for any homeowner.
4. Fire Pit
With those cool, fall nights fast approaching, you might want to consider adding a warm fire pit to keep you all nice and toasty while still being able to enjoy your garden when the temperature drops.
Not only is a fire pit a great addition to your backyard, but it is also one of the most functional hardscaping elements, as well as one of those that can add the most value to your property.
5. Water Features
Speaking of hardscaping elements, if you truly want to elevate your garden, then a water feature should be on your top-ten list. Imagine just how pleasant and calming it would be to hear the peaceful sounds of the water trickling down, while you are sipping your freshly brewed coffee. Real bliss!
And if fountains are the first thing that comes to mind when you think about water features, you should also know that there are many other options. Birdbaths, for example, can be a lovely alternative, as well as a little pond, a waterfall, and a stream.
6. Beautiful Greenery
Whether you are a keen gardener or not, one thing is for sure: one of the most stunning elements of any backyard is its plants and flowers.
So, with the fall season slowly on its way, why not do a bit of research into the best seeds to plant, and the most beautiful flowers to grow when it gets a bit colder? Similarly, you will want to prepare your current plants and flowers for the cold season, so that you keep everything tidy and in tip-top shape, ready for when the spring blooms again.
7. Wall Planters and Hanging Baskets
When it comes to deciding where to keep your new greenery, try to be a bit more creative. For example, swap the same old terracotta pots for wall planters and hanging baskets. You can get both of these in as many styles and designs as you like, so you can rest assured that there will be something out there that matches the overall look and feel of your garden.
8. Outdoor Mood Lighting
Is there anything more charming and romantic than gorgeous lights gently illuminating your backyard, perhaps while you are taking a quiet, evening swim, or enjoying some “me time” in your hot tub?
With the right type of mood lighting, your backyard will become the perfect setting to share intimate moments with your loved ones. There are many different kinds of garden lighting, including solar-powered lights, lanterns, and spotlights.
You could either pick one of these or mix and match different ones to achieve different effects in every area of your garden. Whichever approach you choose, make sure that the lights are weather-proof and, wherever possible, try to opt for energy-efficient ones.
9. Hammock
One of the best ways to relax, or even nod off, in your back garden? A hammock, without any doubt. Installing one of these will immediately give your garden a laid-back, welcoming look, and encourage you to take a few minutes for yourself to simply lie in the sun and wind down.
As an alternative, you could choose a swing seat, which can be a great idea especially if you have young children who love to spend time outdoors. With a family-sized swing seat or swing bed, you are guaranteed lovely and fun afternoons in the sun with your little ones.
10. Pergola or Gazebo
Do you like having friends and family over for dinner, or organizing great garden parties with all your kids’ friends? Then, having a pergola or a gazebo in your backyard can be a wonderful way to allow you to always throw great gatherings, whatever the weather.
With a covered pergola or gazebo, in fact, you can still enjoy your outdoor area even when it’s raining, or when the sun is hitting hard. Simply pop some comfy and stylish garden furniture underneath it, and the party can continue!
A pergola or gazebo is a fabulous choice even if you don’t usually have people over. You can, for example, use it as a “home office” area, or simply as a place to retreat to with a good book, a blanket, and a cup of tea.
