Beautiful in every season

Understanding how your outdoor space changes throughout each season is an important consideration when redesigning or adding to your garden. It’s essential to keep in mind some seasonal tips for redesigning your garden, considering the weather conditions, the light, the colours, and how the space works for you and your family.

This image captures a well-designed, recently installed outdoor living space in a residential backyard during the autumn season. In the center-right, the main feature is a wooden gazebo or pavilion with a dark, peaked hard-top roof. The structure is built with natural-toned wood posts and beams, and it sits on a matching raised wooden deck platform. The space beneath the gazebo is currently empty, suggesting a fresh installation or preparation for furniture. To the left of the gazebo, a small seating area is set up on a paved or gravel section of the patio. It features three modern, low-profile black mesh or woven chairs arranged around a small fire pit or low table. This seating area is flanked by two large, black planters each containing a small palm tree or similar tropical foliage, providing a contrast to the seasonal setting. String lights are faintly visible strung across the backyard on a wire supported by a wooden post. The backyard is enclosed by a tall, light brown wooden privacy fence. The landscaping transitions from a well-kept green lawn in the foreground to a mix of paved and exposed ground near the fence. The most striking element is the autumn foliage: a large, mature tree positioned behind the gazebo displays brilliant yellow, orange, and red leaves, dominating the upper central frame. Various tall, dark green evergreen trees (likely cedars) line the fence, and residential houses with brick chimneys are visible in the background over the fence line, grounding the scene in a suburban environment.

Yardistry products are designed with style and longevity in mind, for every season. Crafted with premium cedar wood and stained in a beautiful natural colour to blend and work with your existing spaces. The natural stain allows for bright and bold Spring and Summer colour schemes with planters, beds and pots, and also compliments the warmer hues of Autumn with changes in tree and foliage tones. Even during the winter season the premium cedar wood looks stunning and because all structures come pre stained, they are long lasting outdoors against the elements. When redesigning your garden with seasonal tips in mind, consider how these features enhance your space.

This image captures an elevated view of a wooden outdoor pavilion and its surrounding patio, completely covered in a fresh blanket of snow. The scene is dominated by white, evoking a peaceful, cold winter atmosphere. The pavilion is the central feature, constructed with robust, dark-stained wooden posts and beams supporting a steeply pitched, gable-style roof. The roof is heavily laden with snow, highlighting its protective function. The interior structure features dark bracing timbers. Beneath the roof, the space is furnished with dark-colored outdoor furniture, all slightly dusted or covered with snow. Visible items include a square or rectangular dining table, several modern lounge chairs with black sling fabric, and a porch swing or bench swing hanging from one of the cross beams. A few dark planters with dormant or snow-covered plants are also situated within the shelter. The pavilion stands on a paved or decked area, which blends seamlessly into the surrounding snow-covered patio. The background reveals a formal, balustrade-lined stone patio, where classic stone urns or planters, also snow-capped, are placed. To the right, the curved edge of a swimming pool, partially covered in snow, adds a distinct feature to the landscape. The overall picture contrasts the sturdy, dark wooden structure with the soft, pristine white of the winter snow.

Styling your outdoor living space

When it comes to updating or refreshing your outdoor area, a focal point is a great start. A pergola or gazebo adds a focal point as well as providing vertical elements to draw the eyes upwards. The perfect spot for seating, dining and relaxing, as well as entertaining. It becomes the hub of the garden, in every season. You can also use plants to create depth and seasonal interest, essential when considering seasonal tips for redesigning your garden. As well as creating a useable layout with pathways, slabs and patio areas. Overall, expressing your style whilst creating a strong sense of unity and purpose within the space.

This image depicts a cozy, fully illuminated outdoor living space centered around a wooden gazebo set against a dark night sky. The gazebo has a dark, hard-top roof and a sturdy frame of natural or stained wood posts and beams, featuring large arched supports. Warm, exposed-filament string lights are hung inside the structure, casting a bright, inviting glow. The structure sits atop a raised wooden deck with a light brown finish. The edge of the deck is outlined with small, white or warm-toned ground lights, highlighting the perimeter. The space is furnished with outdoor seating, although most pieces are covered with light brown or tan protective covers, suggesting the evening is either cool or the furniture is being preserved. A round table and several chairs are visible. The area is heavily decorated with greenery and potted plants, including large planters on the deck, hanging ferns from the gazebo beams, and colorful flowers near the front. A square, illuminated planter base sits centrally, adding another layer of ambient light. The gazebo is positioned against a house wall made of red brick, which reflects the warm interior light. To the left, a low, white lattice privacy fence borders the yard, with more subtle lighting on the grass. The overall impression is a highly decorative, well-lit, and functional backyard retreat, despite the furniture being covered.

Considering the changing seasons and how your gazebo or pergola will be used is also important. Adding lighting for the evenings or darker days will allow for continued usage. Perhaps a chiminea or fire pit to warm you on those Autumn evenings or winter days. Uplighting to highlight your focal point, as well as providing visual interest in low-light hours. Seating or tables for summer dining and entertaining with seasonal redesign tips in mind can maximise the garden’s potential.
