Fall is a favorite time of year to be outside!

Fall is the perfect season to complete or start outdoor projects without pesky mosquitoes or sultry heat preventing you from getting the job done. Plants, trees and shrubs are on sale, and it's a good time to divide perennials, clean up your yard and plan something new for your outdoor living space.

Fireplaces, firepits and fire rings, outdoor heaters … outdoor accessories can extend your outdoor space for year 'round use. Keep the grill going on winter weekends just to fire up your dining routine. Hold your book club around the outdoor fireplace for a scene change. Or gather for hot chocolate around the firepit after a long day of raking leaves.

If you're a bargain hunter, you can pick up some end-of-season buys on outdoor furniture and accessories.

A patio heater is the perfect accessory for fall and winter, and even spring and summer! All Patio Town portable, movable heaters are discounted $50 this weekend and next weekend. These heaters can go where you do, whether it's on the front patio for morning coffee and the newspaper or in the back yard for an evening glass of wine with the neighbors.

If football scores don't improve, why not tackle a hardscape project like a seat wall around a paver patio with firepit? Create a perfect space for chilly nights. We've got great kits that you can do yourself or can help you plan your space. Our Ledgestone Fire Pit Kit is on sale right now for $249.
