Prepare your patio for summer

Get ready, get set - it's time for summer. That means outdoor entertaining will be more popular than ever, and it's time you prepared your patio for the sunny season.

If you're considering doing some garden DIY to spruce your property up over the coming months, don't neglect your pavers and concrete areas. Consider using a power broom or blower for a fast and effective way to clear your patio of stubborn debris and dirt.

Next up it's time to think decor. If your current area consists of merely a barbecue and some chairs, you might want to step up your game. There's a whole world of outdoor decorating ideas out there!

Outdoor fairy lights can quickly transform any area from a simple setting to one of intimacy and warmth. Just make sure you buy an outdoor set to avoid any electrical dramas down the track.

Finally, make sure your outdoor furniture is up to scratch. Give chairs and tables a thorough check for spiders, clear off any cobwebs and give everything a good scrub to make sure it's spic and span for summer.
