Top 5 Things About Spring in Central Texas

Spring in Central Texas is something most of the country can only dream about. With warm, balmy temperatures, clear blue skies and sun-soaked days, our enviable Spring weather means spending lots of fun-filled quality time with our friends and loved ones. Here are five reasons why Texas Pools & Patios, your Austin pool builder, loves Spring in Central Texas:

1. BBQs in the Backyard

Fire up the grill and get ready to get cooking! With a well-planned outdoor kitchen, you can prepare mouthwatering steaks, ribs and salads right in your very own backyard.

Here are some quick tips for having a great backyard BBQ:

• Provide plenty of cover. While the temperatures haven’t reached soaring heights yet, having a covered outdoor kitchen and seating area will protect you and your loved ones from the sun, wind, and occasional rainfall.
• Have the right appliances on deck.  The appliances you include in your outdoor kitchen will rely heavily on what you enjoy cooking and how much you entertain. The bare essentials for most outdoor kitchens are: a grill, small refrigerator, sink, and loads of counter space.
• Create the right ambiance. Your Austin pool builder will help you select the right outdoor lighting so that you can create a safe cooking and dining area without sacrificing that laid-back BBQ atmosphere.

2. More Hours in a Day

Our days are starting to stretch by leaps and bounds, which means more quality time in and by the pool. Don’t forget that longer days also mean more opportunities to enjoy a much deserved end-of-the-day soak in the warm, luxurious waters of your hot tub!

3. Enviable Weather

Spring in Central Texas means being able to enjoy the outdoors without catching a chill or seeking refuge in an air conditioned room. The perfect temperatures and sunny skies make this time of year ideal for hanging out poolside.

4. Blooms and Blossoms

You may have noticed an abundance of color outside these days, thanks to the many flowers that are popping up from the earth and bursting into full bloom. Now is a great time to contact your Austin pool builder and explore new and exciting landscaping ideas so that your backyard is all ready for springtime.

Here are some of the top landscaping trends this year:

• Get creative with containers. Containers not only provide decorative accents to your landscaping. They can keep otherwise less “pool tolerant” plants away from the chlorinated water while adding height and dimension to your backyard.
• Opt for native plants. Plants native to San Antonio and Austin are better for the environment, demand less water and can help attract beneficial insects.
• Find success with succulents. While you may not want to plant a cactus near the pool, other succulents are a great option for poolside landscaping.
