Listen. I want a fully designed back yard as much as the next person.  However I’m QUITE lazy when it comes to that labor (I detest mowing and moving heavy objects), not to mention landscaping and hardscaping is $$$$!

 

But also? I LOVE a cozy night outside by the fire.  And in the dark, you can’t see the landscaping anyway!

 

So here are a few ways to zjush up just the one zone in the yard that gets cozy in the fall. (No trip to the stoneyard required...)

While I love the crackle of wood fire, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm lazy? So I don't love the clean-up involved (or the floating embers). Also, propane or gas usually avoid the burn bans out West. So here’s my fave propane options:

Already have your pit?  Great!  Now, let’s cover up that ugly propane tank. These are perfect to rest a drink or a snack on, too. I love something that doesn’t look like a table to relax the whole look.

Always get the cover for your firepit!

It’ll help keep it easy to enjoy for so much longer.
