Winter doesn’t mean your outdoor space needs to go unused. With creative ideas like cozy firepits, snow-friendly patios, and durable seating, you can enjoy your yard even during Ottawa’s cold months. At Landmark Landscaping, we specialize in designing and creating winter-proof patios that enhance your backyard and extend its usability year-round. Here’s how to transform your outdoor space into a winter haven.
-
Cozy Up with a Firepit
A firepit is the perfect centerpiece for any winter-friendly outdoor space. It adds warmth and ambiance while allowing you to enjoy crisp winter nights outdoors.
- Choose the right material: Opt for stone or metal firepits that can withstand Ottawa’s freezing temperatures.
- Position strategically: Place your firepit in a sheltered area to minimize wind exposure.
- Add seating: Surround the firepit with weather-resistant chairs or benches for cozy gatherings.
Landmark Landscaping can design and install custom firepits tailored to your style and space, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
-
Design Snow-Friendly Patios
Snow-friendly patios make it easy to maintain and enjoy your outdoor space even during snowy Ottawa winters.
- Use non-slip materials: Pavers with textured surfaces offer better grip and reduce slip hazards.
- Install proper drainage: A well-drained patio prevents water from pooling and freezing, minimizing damage and ensuring safety.
- Incorporate heating options: Radiant heat systems can melt snow and ice, keeping your patio usable all season.
With Landmark Landscaping, you can count on expert advice and high-quality materials to create a durable, snow-ready patio that lasts for years.
-
Lighting: The Key to Winter Ambiance
Winter days are shorter, but the right lighting can make your outdoor space shine even after dark.
- Install path lights: Illuminate walkways with LED lights to improve safety and visibility.
- Add string lights: Hang warm-toned string lights around your patio or pergola for a festive feel.
- Highlight focal points: Use spotlights to emphasize your firepit, trees, or other landscaping features.
Lighting not only enhances the functionality of your yard but also creates a welcoming, cozy atmosphere. Let Landmark Landscaping help you design a lighting plan that transforms your outdoor space into a winter wonderland.

Invest in Winter-Ready Furniture and Decor
Durable, weather-resistant furniture ensures your patio remains comfortable and functional during the colder months.
- Choose sturdy materials: Opt for teak, wrought iron, or weather-treated wicker that can handle Ottawa’s snow and ice.
- Add cushions and blankets: Use waterproof fabrics for cushions and keep cozy throws on hand for extra warmth.
- Incorporate seasonal decor: Add evergreen arrangements, lanterns, or winter-themed centerpieces to complete the look.
By selecting the right furniture and decor, you can enjoy your outdoor space comfortably, even in chilly weather.
