Welcome to Spring in the Hill Country

April in Liberty Hill is picture-perfect. Temperatures hover in that sweet spot between warm and toasty, and the famous Texas bluebonnets are in full bloom. It's the ideal time to get outside, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with nature—and your neighbors.

At Lariat, spring means evening strolls on the trails, bike rides with the kids, and weekend gatherings that stretch into starlit nights. With wide-open skies and community amenities that encourage outdoor living, there's no better place to enjoy the season.

Backyard BBQs & Patio Parties

Nothing says spring, like firing up the grill and inviting friends for good food and even better company. Whether you've got a cozy patio or a spacious backyard, there are endless ways to make your outdoor space party-ready:

  • Set the Mood with String Lights – A few strands of café lights or solar lanterns can turn any evening gathering into a twinkling celebration.
  • Keep It Casual – Think burgers, brisket, or taco night with plenty of seating and yard games like cornhole or ladder toss to keep everyone entertained.
  • Beverage Bar – Set up a drink station with spring favorites like lemonade, iced tea, or even a DIY sangria bar for adults.

Lariat homes are designed for outdoor living, so whether you're hosting a neighborhood hangout or a quiet family dinner under the stars, you've got the perfect backdrop.

Outdoor Décor & Gardening Inspiration

Give your backyard or porch a seasonal refresh with simple touches that bring the colors of spring to life:

  • Add Pops of Color – Swap out your cushions or planters with bright, cheerful hues like turquoise, coral, or sunny yellow.
  • Plant Native Blooms—Texas-friendly flowers like black-eyed Susans, salvia, and bluebonnets thrive in our climate and add instant beauty.
  • Create a Cozy Nook—Use an outdoor rug, a couple of comfy chairs, and a small table to create a space perfect for sipping morning coffee or winding down at dusk.
