Don’t let the rain keep you inside. With the right design, your outdoor space can be comfortable, functional, and beautiful — even in the middle of a Pacific Northwest winter.
Key Features to Consider:
-
Covered Areas: A pergola with a clear roof or a cedar pavilion keeps you dry while still enjoying the outdoors.
-
Heaters & Fire Pits: Add warmth with propane heaters or a built-in fire pit to stretch patio season into late fall and early spring.
-
Durable Furniture: Choose weather-resistant materials like powder-coated metal or teak that can handle rain and moss.
-
Strategic Lighting: Soft, waterproof lighting creates ambiance and makes your yard usable after dark in the shorter winter months.
-
Drainage Planning: Use permeable pavers or gravel to avoid puddles and muddy zones near seating areas.
Outdoor living in Maple Valley doesn’t have to pause for the weather — it just needs the right setup.
