Now that the weather’s finally veered into a summer-like state, it’s time to start planning long days outside. If you’re lucky enough to have outdoor space and some funds, your yard (or deck) can become a summertime hotspot (and, when planned properly, can be used throughout the year too). You don’t need a huge pool or rolling grounds to create an outdoor oasis (though that does sound nice) – you can have a great yard even without loads of square footage.
How, you may ask? Good question. Try a small-scale outdoor feature like a fire pit or hot tub to transform your space.
An outdoor oasis doesn’t have to mean a complete backyard overhaul—it’s really about choosing the right focal points that turn everyday spaces into places you actually want to spend time in. A cozy seating area, some soft lighting, and a couple of strategic upgrades can make even the smallest yard feel inviting and luxurious.
One standout option for both form and function is adding a fire pit with grill—it instantly creates a warm, social hub and doubles as a spot to cook up some truly memorable meals. Whether it’s roasting marshmallows with the kids or searing a few burgers for friends, a well-crafted fire pit makes evenings last longer and outdoor entertaining more effortless.
It’s these simple, quality touches that extend the life of your backyard well past the summer months and make it a place you’re proud to share. So which one will it be? Fire pit?
It’s a hot tub… with fire! Not only is it an incredible statement piece and conversation starter, it’s practical. The portable, lightweight, wood-burning tub is heated entirely by the built-in mini fire pit. Perfect for enjoying roasted marshmallows… without getting out of the tub.

I already have a fire pit at my home. It is very useful during winter season.
I also have a hot tub at my home. But since it has got some problem with its cover, I have not been using it for long time. Bot now I feel to use it. Need to buy a quality spa cover in the first place. I have planned to buy one from Buy Factory Spa Covers at Oakville.
I like both fire pit and hot tub.
Wow, lucky you!
