In the Pacific Northwest, a well-designed outdoor living space means more time outside, more connection with nature, and more use out of your yard — even in the rainy months.

What Makes a Space Work Year-Round:

  • Overhead Cover: Extend your roofline, build a covered patio, or install a pergola with a polycarbonate top.

  • Heat Sources: A gas fireplace, wood stove, or electric patio heater turns chilly nights into cozy evenings.

  • Flexible Furniture: Look for modular seating that can be rearranged, covered, or stored as seasons shift.

  • Rain-Proof Design: Make sure hard surfaces are sloped properly, and use plants that thrive in soggy soil near gathering spots.

  • Plant for Winter Interest: Evergreen shrubs, ornamental grasses, and winter-blooming plants keep things lively all year.

Outdoor living isn’t just for sunny summer days — in Maple Valley, it can be a year-round lifestyle.
