2. Chat with Custom-Design Patio Specialists
As a fun outdoor place to enjoy, relax and entertain guests, your patio should be designed to fit your needs and personality. Do you want an outdoor kitchen or do you want a fireplace? Do you want to build a sunroom? Come discover how to create an amazing outdoor space with the experts from Texas Custom Patios, SunSpace Texas, 21st Century Sunrooms, and Warren’s Outdoor Living.

5. Eliminate Mosquitoes Once and For All
Nothing can ruin a good time faster than being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Even with sprays, citronella candles, and other homemade remedies, mosquitoes can wreak havoc on your party, irritate your pets, and ruin your good time. Come explore eco-friendly options for getting rid of these potentially dangerous pests, such as automated misting systems, with Houston Mosquito Control Systems, who will be on-hand at each Home & Outdoor Living Show.
6. Cool Off or Heat Up with a Swimming Pool, Spa, or Hot Tub
Hot summers require cool solutions. Installing a pool, hot tub, or spa in the backyard can help turn things up a notch. It’s a big project to take on, but at the shows in H-Town, Cy-Fair, and Lake Houston, hundreds of local swim, spa, and outdoor living experts will be on-hand to offer every bit of knowledge they have to help you create the best backyard ever and get the job done.
