Staging to sell, your backyard and deck

I was fortunate to have just listed a property where the seller is cooperative when it came to staging. They even set the stage for their backyard by asking me first, "what do you think of a little table and chair here"? Now, that's setting the stage for a cozy little backyard. Set up conversation areas but make sure they all face towards the house.

Pack away the scattered toys and trampolines! Swings, tree houses, sports court and basketball hoops are fine.

The patios and decks should be power washed. The transformations are incredible from it alone. If necessary, restain the deck with beige or gray color - red stains on decks in outdated.

AAHHH the beauty of plants! To de-emphasize unsightly views or flaws on a deck, try using hanging plants

Cover the BBQ Grill if it is questionable in condition. Try not to have it directly outside of the kitchen window or obstucting any views.

Umbrellas can block views too. They can be used to de-emphasize any backyard flaws, otherwise put them down.

Overall keep it green and manicured like your frontyard.
