Lightening Things Up a Bit (literally!)

With summer sunsets and twinkling night skies, who wouldn't want to sit out on their custom made, comfortable patio? The only thing that seems to be missing? Some beautiful lighting to bring a cozy atmosphere to your space. Here at Groundscapes, we offer a variety of lighting, from lanterns to line the patio walkway to standing torches and even string lighting! You can even consider multiple different kinds of lights for your outdoor space: mellow lighting for romantic evenings on the patio or glowing orbs for playing in the pool. The possibilities are endless! The conclusion? No daylight, no problem.

Green It Up

There's nothing like the beauty and tranquility of some well placed foliage and plant life to brighten up a space. Though you may already have a fantastic garden and a variety of flowers, adding some smaller types of greenery in the patio space can bring nature even closer. Hanging plants, potted flowers, and table side succulents or mini herb gardens add a splash of color and a breath of fresh air. Best of all, you can feel right in nature without having to get your hands dirty in the garden. Not to mention, the most aesthetically pleasing spaces on social media always seem to have that picture perfect greenery!

Upgrade That Outdoor Shelter

The truth is, no matter how beautiful and aesthetically pleasing your patio may be, it's no fun to enjoy when the weather seems a bit cloudy or chilly. Tired of leaking roofs on your shelter or worn down, chipped structures? Updating your outdoor shelter may solve that, making it easy and convenient for you to venture outside with friends and family even if our Nebraska weather doesn't always turn out perfectly. From patterned structures to slated overhangs, there are so many options to customize your space to what would be most comfortable. Also, a setup such as this would make it easier to hang those fairy lights or succulents, making it extra Insta-worthy! Everyone will not only love the look, but they'll also want to hang out there!
