Florida summers are made for outdoor living—and at ACL Remodeling, we believe your backyard should feel like a staycation destination. As temperatures rise and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space and bring in the latest trends that blend comfort, style, and functionality.

Whether you're dreaming of a backyard oasis or looking to upgrade your current setup, here’s how to prep your space for summer with this year’s top outdoor living trends.

1. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

One of the biggest trends we’re seeing in 2025 is creating a natural flow between your interior and exterior spaces. Large sliding or folding glass doors, covered patios, and matching flooring materials can help connect your indoor style with the outdoors.

Pro Tip: Adding a covered lanai or upgrading your patio doors can instantly increase both function and resale value. Plus, it keeps the Florida sun from overpowering your space while still giving you that open-air feel.

2. Outdoor Kitchens & Built-In Grills

Why stay cooped up inside when you can take your culinary skills outdoors? Outdoor kitchens are more popular than ever—complete with built-in grills, prep stations, sinks, and mini-fridges.

Bonus: Custom cabinetry and countertops designed for Florida’s climate help your space last longer while staying stylish. We can help design a setup that fits your backyard and your lifestyle.

3. All-Season Comfort Zones

Here in Port Orange, we enjoy warm weather most of the year. But summer heat and unexpected rain can be deal-breakers for outdoor fun. That’s why homeowners are incorporating:

Pergolas with retractable canopies
Misting systems or outdoor fans
Weather-resistant furniture and textiles
Smart lighting for late-night hangouts

4. Backyard Retreats & Wellness Spaces

Outdoor living isn’t just about entertaining—it’s also about relaxing. From hammock corners and garden lounges to meditation decks and plunge pools, creating a dedicated space for peace and wellness is trending.

Want to go all out? We’ve seen an increase in interest for outdoor showers and saunas—even in Florida!

5. Low-Maintenance Landscaping & Hardscaping

Volusia County homeowners are looking for beauty without the hassle. Drought-tolerant plants, artificial turf, paver patios, and built-in seating areas are all excellent ways to reduce maintenance while boosting curb appeal.

Hardscaping Tip: A custom firepit or seating wall can double as a visual centerpiece and a functional gathering space.
