Father's Day party space set up ready for celebrating. Garden furniture cleaned and positioned, decorations hung, BBQ area sorted - everything ready while dad's out so it's a proper surprise when he gets home.
Make Dad's Day Actually Special
Father's Day deserves better than last-minute scrambling with garden furniture and a BBQ that hasn't been cleaned since August.
Here's the plan: get dad out of the house for a couple of hours, let me sort the space properly, and he comes home to a ready-to-go celebration.
💡 Pro tip: Book for early Father's Day morning. Dad goes out for breakfast or a walk, comes home to family gathered in a lovely setup. Much better than everyone rushing around all morning.

🔧 DIY Tips
Setting up Father's Day space yourself? Here's the efficient approach:
🔧 What you'll need
- Garden furniture (cleaned!)
- BBQ and utensils organized
- Simple decorations if wanted (optional)
- Tables for food and drinks
- 1-2 hours setup time
📐 Garden party setup
Furniture arrangement:
- Clean everything first (do this the day before if possible)
- Position seating in groups - conversation is the point
- Shade for hot days, shelter for changeable weather
- Leave clear routes for moving around
- Check everything's stable (wonky chairs on grass are annoying)
BBQ area:
- Clean the BBQ properly
- Position where smoke won't blow over seating
- Organize all tools and utensils to hand
- Space for prepped food and plates
- Fuel/charcoal ready to go
Simple decorations:
- Bunting across the garden (optional)
- Nice tablecloth
- Flowers on the table
- Outdoor lighting positioned
- Keep it simple - comfort matters more
⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving furniture cleaning until last minute (it takes longer than you think)
- Too much seating crammed in (space to move matters)
- Forgetting shade or weather backup
- BBQ area too close to seating (smoke!)
- Over-decorating (it's Father's Day, not a wedding)
💡 Pro trick: Do a "trial sit" before dad gets home. Actually sit in the space like a guest would. Is it comfortable? Can you reach the table? Is conversation distance OK? Can people get up easily? Five minutes testing saves the whole event being slightly awkward.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
👨 Father's Day package? Combine with BBQ cleaning, garden tidy, and outdoor furniture restoration if needed. Comprehensive setup for bigger celebrations.
Devon weather in June can be unpredictable. Have a backup plan for rain - covered patio, garage door open, gazebo if you've got one. I can help set up weather contingencies if needed.
BBQ maintenance note: If your BBQ hasn't been used since last summer, it probably needs proper cleaning and checking. Worth doing this a few days before Father's Day, not the morning of. I can help with that as a separate quick job if needed.
Exeter gardens vary hugely - some people have lovely big spaces, others have compact courtyards. Either works for Father's Day celebrations if you set it up thoughtfully. I've done celebration setups in tiny city gardens and big suburban plots - it's about working with what you've got.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of Father's Day setup can you do?
Usually garden party prep - furniture cleaned and positioned, BBQ area sorted, decorations hung if you've got them, outdoor lighting checked. Whatever makes the space ready for celebrating. Most people want the garden looking good for family gathering over lunch or afternoon.
Can you do this while dad's out so it's a surprise?
Yes - that's actually the most common request. You get dad out of the house for a few hours (walk, pub, whatever), I come and sort the garden or party space, and it's all ready when he gets back. Timing's important so we coordinate properly.
Do you just do garden setups or indoor too?
Either. If you're doing an indoor celebration, I can help set up tables, position furniture for better flow, hang decorations, whatever's needed. Garden party setups are more common for Father's Day (weather permitting), but we'll work with your plan.
Will you clean garden furniture as part of this?
Yes - if the furniture hasn't been used since last year, it probably needs a wipe down. I'll clean it properly, position it where you want, make sure everything's stable and safe. Same with the BBQ area if that's part of the plan.
What if we haven't got decorations or don't know what we need?
I can advise on simple touches that work - bunting across the garden, table setup, outdoor lighting positioned nicely. Father's Day is usually less about elaborate decorations and more about having a nice space for family time. Keep it simple and focus on comfort.
