We love our summers in South Louisiana. We hit the pool, fire up the grill, and enjoy spending time outdoors. Because Louisiana heat can be intense during the day, many backyard gatherings start later and continue into the evening.
When the sun goes down, outdoor lighting can help make your patio, pool area, and seating spaces more comfortable and inviting.

Preparing your Baton Rouge yard for hurricane season helps protect your outdoor furniture, patio, outdoor kitchen, and landscaping from high winds and falling debris. A few early-season tasks, including trimming trees, organizing storage, and gathering protective materials, can make storm preparation faster when a named storm approaches.
South Louisiana homeowners often focus on protecting the inside of the house, but the outdoor space should not be neglected. If you have invested in outdoor living, taking steps to protect that investment is just as important.
Louisiana summers can be simultaneously the most fun time of year and the most brutal time of year. We seek relief from the summer heat in the same place we seek relaxation and fun, our backyard. If you’re swimming and splashing in the pool, or hosting friends and family for a cookout, the backyard is where we congregate to unwind and share good times. But, in order to get the most out of your backyard, you need top-quality furniture for you and your guests.
Whether we are talking about a front door, an oven door, a garage door, a screen door, or even a cabinet door; doors are designed to either keep things in, keep things out, or a combination of the two. The doors around your fireplace provide safety, comfort, and aesthetics. It’s important that these doors are well maintained so they can continue to accomplish these tasks for years to come.
Your back porch is a place where some of your favorite memories are made. Long conversations, good company, sunsets, and games all happen back there. Whether you are gathered around the grill, out in the yard, or seated around a table, a little extra comfort goes a long way. When it comes to cushions for your outdoor furniture, you are looking for both fashion and function. And, as with anything else you own, you want to get the most out of them as well.
Outdoor furniture can provide a comfortable retreat from the distractions of a busy day. Being able to step away to your quiet, serene patio, knowing you’ll find a relaxing spot to unwind is a great feeling. Quality patio furniture also makes entertaining and hosting friends and family all the more enjoyable. If you haven’t purchased patio furniture in a while, you may be surprised at the design trends and advancements that have been made over the years. When it comes to patio furniture for your home, it’s important to make quality and craftsmanship a priority. This is what sets Crimson Casual apart.
This time of year brings a slight breeze, football season and perfect opportunities to spend an evening outside. Whether you are planning a party with friends or just eating dinner with the family, make sure your outdoor patio area is equipped with these four essentials for the ultimate grill and chill time.
There’s something magical about the courtyards in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In spite of the bustling Central Business District just blocks away, and the wild partying tourists down the street, you can dial down the noise, dial down the stress, relax, and enjoy the elements of a summer evening that seems captured in time. But, the look and feel of a French Quarter courtyard doesn’t have to remain in the Big Easy. With just a few strategic choices, you can bring the French Quarter to your backyard.
Here in South Louisiana, especially Baton Rouge, we take tailgating to a level that leaves the rest of the country envious. It is an all-day affair, that leads up to a glorious Saturday Night in Death Valley. But, with such a great tailgating reputation, comes an even greater responsibility. That responsibility is having your tailgate live up to the hype. What you serve is every bit as important as any other facet of the gameday experience. This means you need a grill that provides you with the versatility to get creative with your menu. Fortunately, we have that grill. Even better, it is portable. The Big Green Egg allows you to grill, smoke, roast, and even bake. In other words, the Big Green Egg means tailgating excellence in Baton Rouge.
Grilling is one of the most enjoyable ways to entertain, and is a way of life in south Louisiana. Cookouts are a staple, but doing them right is an investment. When you invest in a good charcoal grill, like a Big Green Egg or a grill from Fire Magic, you want to make sure you get the most out of it. Not just in terms of having great cook-outs, but in extending the life of your grill for as long as possible. While it may seem like a hassle to do anything more than just lighting a fire and throwing on some meat, taking a few simple steps can go a long way toward maintaining your Baton Rouge charcoal grill.
