Spruce up for Your Summer Staycation with MARBLELIFE

Summer’s in full swing, and we’re feeling the heat! With gas, hotel, and rental prices climbing, why not take it easy with a family staycation? MARBLELIFE has some awesome ideas to turn your home into the perfect summer retreat, starting with sparkling clean stone surfaces that make every space shine!

Your Own, Personal Vacation Home

Start with the basics to make your backyard a summer haven! Clear out yard debris, tackle those weeds, and get your lawn looking lush and ready for fun. Then, transform your outdoor living areas into a vibrant, welcoming spot for your family to enjoy. MARBLELIFE can help make your patio or deck shine with expert stone cleaning and care, setting the perfect stage for relaxation. Here are a few simple ideas to turn your space into a stay-at-home retreat!

 

• Arrange a smattering of pretty plants in colorful pots. Or simply paint your existing clay planters. It’s a fun way to involve the kids as a family art project.
• Add new furniture or dress up the old. A fresh coat of paint on wicker or plastic furniture (yes, there’s special paint for that) and a pop of color with new cushions or throw pillows can go a long way toward creating a vacation-y new look.
• Bring the indoors out and add a weather-resistant rug to anchor your seating arrangement. You’ll be amazed at how different your patio will look — and feel — underfoot.
• Add decorative lighting around your deck while staying green with solar power. Seek out solar Italian twinkle lights, tiki torch-style lanterns or dramatic uplights for your plants. Placing fairy lights in glass jars can make for a magical atmosphere.

Patio and Pool Deck Staycation Refresh

Your hardscape sets the tone for your outdoor style, so take a search for any spots that need a little TLC. A MARBLELIFE pro can tackle cracked or chipped concrete, fixing it up with expert care, and even add nonskid, anti-slip treatments to keep your guests safe and steady while they enjoy your backyard.

Want to give your patio or pool deck a fresh, vibrant look? MARBLELIFE’s Enduracrete concrete services can completely transform the space with a stunning finish, offering various textures and patterns that’ll make your outdoor area pop.

And on those scorching summer days, the last thing you want is to burn your feet! Speak with your MARBLELIFE pro about options to make walking barefoot comfortable, even in the heat. Let’s make your staycation spot both beautiful and practical!

Creative Ideas for Backyard Fun

Now that your backyard is beautiful, what will you do with it? Try these ideas:

 

1. Outdoor family movie night. Set up a portable projector, Bluetooth sound system and inflatable screen to watch your favorite flick.
2. Backyard camping. Pitch a tent and complete the adventure with a patio fireplace for roasting tasty s’mores. (Portable fire pits are available and affordable at many garden outlets.)
3. Games in the garden. Hosting scavenger hunts, board games, obstacle courses, stargazing or even a talent show can be fun, inventive ways to enjoy your new-and-improved backyard haven.
