# Outdoor Hub

They call it the great outdoors for a reason—there’s nothing quite like [sitting on your deck](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/property-brothers-news/drew-scott-house-backyard-outdoor-spaces/) or patio and enjoying the fresh air, especially with friends and family. We celebrate outdoor spaces here at DrewandJonathan.com, which is why we’re bringing you a plethora of tips on [backyard design ideas](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/backyard-oasis-ideas/), the [best outdoor furniture](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-outdoor-furniture-ideas/), and [even games](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/living/best-backyard-games/) to play with everyone when they come over.

The best part about outdoor spaces is that it really doesn’t take much to turn them into a magical hangout spot. It could be as simple as hanging [decorative string lights](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-decorative-outdoor-string-lights/) or setting up [a dining set](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-outdoor-dining-sets/) to encourage al fresco meals. But if outside is your favorite place to be, then taking it up a notch [with a pergola](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-pergola-kits/) (or copying one of [Drew and Jonathan’s best backyard ideas](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-backyard-design-ideas/) from their shows) might be the way to go.

Of course, you’ll also have to complete a few maintenance tasks to keep your space in tip-top shape, like [trimming the hedges](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/how-to/how-to-trim-bushes/), cleaning [the gutters](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/how-to/how-to-clean-gutters/), and [raking leaves](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/shopping/best-leaf-rakes/). If you have a green thumb (or are trying to grow one), you’ll need a [few gardening tips](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/how-to/gardening-for-beginners/), too, especially if you’re trying to harvest [your own vegetables](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/how-to/how-to-start-vegetable-garden/). But don’t worry! These chores are well worth it for a beautiful yard.

We’ve even researched the [best mosquito repellants](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/shopping/best-mosquito-repellent/) and [patio heaters](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/design-and-decor/best-electric-patio-heaters/), so you never have to worry about annoying bugs or chilly weather ruining your good time. And when you’re ready to throw that stunning [outdoor dinner party](https://www.drewandjonathan.com/living/how-to-host-backyard-dinner-party/), we can help with that, too. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call—us!—for ways to embrace the outdoors.
