Upgrade Your NJ Backyard with Help From DeVries

“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.” – Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) in The Wizard of Oz.

We spent a lot of time in our backyards last summer and we may do so again this year. That could even be purely by choice. Why? We like our backyards. We’ve turned them into outdoor living spaces, with comfortable furniture, oversized pillows, barbecue grills, and recreational activities.

DeVries, New Jersey’s patio source, is a family owned and operated business specializing in outdoor and patio furniture since 1953. We’re here to help you create an oasis of joy just outside your door. Here are a few of the items that are popular now among customers putting together their happy space outside.

  • Outdoor dining furniture. Chairs and a table (with or without umbrella) are a staple. Lots of folks are opting for bench seats rather than chairs. It can add capacity without clutter.
  • Outdoor sectional couches. Big, airy, they’re extremely comfortable for lounging or entertaining. Add a couple of big pillows and it’s just like a living room.
  • The aforementioned umbrella. But it doesn’t have to be stuck in the middle of the table. Freestanding umbrellas let you move your shade to wherever you may be.

Shop the Largest Selection of Patio Furniture in NJ

New Jersey people love Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Remember when the guys sang “Let’s hang on to what we’ve got?”

Pretty sure those Jersey Boys weren’t talking about their patio furniture, but it may have been in the back of their minds.

You know how the summers are. Heat, wind, rain. And you know how the fall is – leaves everywhere. And then winter, with snow and ice.

So you will want to protect your beautiful patio furniture purchased at DeVries. We want you to keep it in great condition and have it last a long time.

Here are three quick tips on how to achieve that longevity:

  • Use furniture covers. They’re easy-on, easy-off, and they protect not only cushions but the frames. Covers help keep animals from making a home on the cushions.
  • Clean up after use. Always a good idea. Food attracts bugs. Other messes can discolor finishes. Give a once-over to chairs and table tops with a clean soft cloth dampened with soapy water. Remove cushions and pillows and give them time to dry. Then return them to their places and put the covers on.
  • Store the furniture for the winter. Do you have a sizeable shed or a big garage? You can remove the furniture from the elements and keep it safe until next season. Covers will protect the furniture from dirt and grit.

Let’s hang on to what we’ve got. Treat your patio furniture with care and you’ll enjoy it for years. And you can always add or replace pieces at DeVries. Come see our fabulous showroom in North Brunswick now.

Deck the HOUSE with Help from DeVries!

We’re heading into the home stretch, with the holidays looming and so much to do inside the house.

We should not neglect the outside, however. In fact, everything could stand a quick look before we hunker down for winter.

DeVries, a family-owned and operated business in North Brunswick, N.J. since 1953, knows the winter months are tough. But time passes more quickly if you stay busy, so let’s pass along some “honey do” suggestions to you and your family. They will make the months ahead easier to cope with.

  • Schedule a tune-up for your heating system. Have a qualified professional check out your air handler and perform a full maintenance. This ought to be done twice a year, with the next visit six months hence. Change the air filter. With people home more and now likely indoors more, use a high-quality air filter and replace it every 60-90 days.
  • Put away seasonal items. Patio furniture, pillows, blankets, all should be inside and out of the weather. Make sure they are dry before packing them away in the garage or shed. Drain the gas and oil from lawn mowers and other power equipment and winterize per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Make sure snow shovels are handy and cars have emergency kits and supplies (blankets, first aid, snacks, water, flares) in case of snow and ice.

You can also start dreaming up improvements for your patio for next spring and DeVries is the place to make those dreams a reality.
