1. Prepare your land
Before starting the layout of your garden, it is essential to properly prepare your land. For this, you will need to:
- Clear your garden of weeds and other undesirables.
- Prune the shrubs and hedges that may need rejuvenating.
- Clean the aisles and terraces using a high-pressure cleaner or a metal brush.
- Improve the quality of the soil by adding compost or potting soil if necessary.
This step is crucial to achieve a flawless garden ready to welcome your guests.
2. Choose the ideal location for your barbecue area
Once your ground is ready, the next step is to choose the ideal location for your barbecue area. You will need to consider several factors:
- The proximity of the house: to facilitate access to the kitchen and limit back and forth trips.
- The presence of shade: a gazebo, an umbrella, or a well-placed tree will allow you to enjoy some coolness during sunny days.

- Safety: ensure that your barbecue area is sufficiently distant from children’s play areas and flammable vegetation.
- The wind: set up your barbecue sheltered from drafts to prevent smoke from bothering your guests.
Don’t forget to also plan for enough space to move around the barbecue and to set up tables, chairs, and accessories.
3. Arrange your relaxation and dining area
Garden Furniture
A friendly dining area is essential for fully enjoying your summer barbecues. Choose comfortable garden furniture that meets your needs:
- A large extendable table to accommodate all your guests.
- Stackable or folding chairs for easy and quick storage.
- Relaxing armchairs or deckchairs to unwind after the meal.
Also consider choosing materials that are weather-resistant, such as treated wood, metal, or woven resin.
