HOT TUB
Take your yard’s comfort to a new level with a
hot tub. Even if the temperatures begin to rise,
you can set the hot tub’s temperature lower for a
summer soak or use it after the sun goes down.
There are styles to fit everyone’s preferences,
including in-ground or portable, inflatable or

wooden, and circular or square. And there are
plenty of accessories that can help personalize
your hot tub, such as bars, drink holders,
speakers, and lights. If you’re looking for an
entertaining focal point for your outdoor space,
a hot tub can be a relaxing addition.

PEST DETERRENTS
If you want to avoid becoming the main course

while enjoying your outside space, try these
options to help keep pests away.

• Add marigolds to gardens and containers near
your outdoor space to deter mosquitoes.

• Grow herbs, such as basil, mint, lemongrass,
and lavender, to ward off various insects.

• Burn citronella candles to help drive away

mosquitoes and flies.

Don’t let your outdoor space’s potential go to
waste! Create a relaxing retreat you’ll enjoy for
multiple seasons.
