HOSTING THIS WEEKEND? DO THIS BEFORE THE GUESTS ARRIVE

Memorial Day weekend in Florida isn’t just a holiday—it’s the kickoff to backyard season.

The grill gets fired up, the drinks get colder, and suddenly you’ve got more people in your backyard than you have chairs.

But here's the thing: most people only think about the party. Not the prep. Definitely not the cleanup. Until they’re stuck dealing with melted decorations, overstuffed trash cans, and a busted patio chair that someone swore “was already like that.”

Let’s change that.

Whether you’re throwing a full-blown barbecue or just hosting a few friends for some sun and sizzle, this guide breaks down how to plan smart, clean up fast, and skip the stress entirely

The Move Most Hosts Forget: Plan for the Mess Before It Happens

We all prep food. We all stock the coolers. But the hosts who actually enjoy their holiday are the ones who prep their space—and that means dealing with the junk before the guests show up.

Why it matters:

• That broken umbrella you keep saying you’ll toss? Someone’s going to trip on it.

• That old grill rusting behind the shed? Your guests will ask if it works.

• That pile of trimmings by the fence? Not cute in party pics.

• Overflowing bins and random junk? HOA fines, critters, or both.

Backyard Hosting Prep Checklist

Here’s your quick-hit list to get things party-ready before the grilling starts—whether you’ve got ¼ acre or a few sprawling acres:

✔️ Task	💡 Pro Tip
Declutter the space	Walk your yard like a guest. Toss broken furniture, old planters, and random junk hiding in corners.
Tame your landscaping	Mow, edge, trim, and clear palm fronds or downed branches before guests arrive.
Book a dumpster	Handle pre-party junk, yard debris, and post-party overflow without relying on your city’s bulk pickup.
Clean the grill + food zones	Deep clean now to avoid the stress later. Check propane or charcoal levels too.
Set up smart trash zones	Use labeled bins near food and drink areas to avoid cleanup chaos.
Make the pool safe & presentable	Skim, shock, clean—and make sure the gate latches if kids are coming.
Spruce up seating	Wipe everything down, check for wobbles, and toss the rusted stuff now.
Create a "junk-free zone"	Clear one area for guests to gather that’s clutter-free. Better yet, get rid of the clutter entirely.

👉 Pro move: Use the pre-party momentum to clear out old junk from your garage, barn, or shed too. You’ve already got the dumpster.

Party Time: Hosting Without the Stress

You’ve done the hard part—now enjoy your people. But while the party’s going, these little things will make post-party you so much happier:

• Keep an eye on trash bags and swap them out before they overflow

• Stash extra bags, wipes, and towels where you can grab them easily

• Watch for food that’s been sitting in the sun too long and quietly retire it

• Snap some “before” pics of the clean yard so you can admire your work later 😅

The Aftermath: Post-Party Cleanup (Without the Meltdown)

Once the last guest grabs their flip-flops and you realize someone left behind a half-eaten cob of corn under the patio table, it’s go time.

But don’t panic—we’ve got a plan for that too.

Your Backyard Clean-Up Plan

🧽 Cleanup Task	🧠 Tip
Bag up food waste first	Florida heat + leftovers = raccoon rave. Double-bag smelly items to avoid pests.
Cool and dispose of charcoal	Wait 48 hours, soak in water, wrap in foil—never toss hot coals in any bin.
Break down boxes & packaging	Recycle what you can, toss what you can’t. Flatten it to save room.
Toss the trashed gear	Bent chairs, warped tables, torn umbrellas—if it didn’t survive the weekend, don’t keep it.
Sweep, spray, and scrub	Hose down sticky spills and food splatter before they attract bugs—or judgment.
Fill your dumpster	No overstuffed bins, no curbside chaos. One toss, done.
