Father’s Day Gifts and Ideas for Outdoorsy Dads
Celebrate the camper, hiker, or outdoor enthusiast and father figure in your life with a day spent outside in the yard! Set the scene for a backyard barbecue that he will remember with these ideas from our team and snag one of the items from our Yardzen-approved outdoor gift guide below. Or, give your dad the best father’s day gift for outdoor living at home – a Yardzen gift card.
FIRE UP THE GRILL!
One of our recent discoveries is Spark Grills – according to a Yardzen staff member, their Spark Grill “completely changed their life.” Elevate your Father’s Day backyard bbq with one of these smart charcoal grills, or consider gifting one to dad.
OR, CONSIDER AN OUTDOOR PIZZA PARTY
There are a number of fantastic outdoor stainless steel pizza ovens on the market that make cooking Neapolitan pies in your backyard a breeze. Here are our top recommendations for entertaining dad (or giving the perfect gift!)

SET THE SCENE
A thoughtful tablescape featuring items found around the house and yard elevates the look and feel of any outdoor gathering. We love the look of gingham linens and enamelware on a summer tabletop.

PLAY A LAWN GAME
Keep everyone engaged (and off devices) by incorporating outdoor lawn games, like corn hole and giant Jenga. Depending on the retailer, you can customize many outdoor games to include your outdoorsman’s name or favorite sports team.
KEEP THE BEVERAGES CHILLED & CUP HOLDERS FULL
Whatever you’re drinking, keep your beverages chilled with an eye-catching outdoor cooler. We rounded up a couple of our favorites that serve as great gifts, too.

END ON A SWEET NOTE
End on a sweet note with time in comfy camp chairs around the fire pit. We love Solo Stove because they produce minimal smoke, are well-priced, and are easily maneuverable to wherever you want to congregate in your yard—or on your backcountry camping trip. Plus, don’t forget the s’mores! This S’mores Kit from Frog Hollow makes a great inexpensive camping gift.
CREATING A BACKYARD DESIGN SUITED FOR CELEBRATION
If you’re looking for the ultimate father’s day gift idea, a custom landscape design with Yardzen's award-winning online exterior and landscape design service is it. Our design process is tailored to homeowners in all fifty states and begins with understanding your existing outdoor space, style preferences, and a discussion of your budget and vision to minimize surprises when it comes time to build.
Our top-notch designers then develop a personalized vision for your yard, shared through 3D renderings, 2D plan drawings, and plant and material lists. Your design will capture the look, feel, and function you are hoping for, all while keeping costs within range.
Once your design is complete, we'll help you connect with a local contractor from our Pro Network of vetted professional contractors to install your new design (if you don’t plan on a diy build).
