Outdoor living has been gaining traction among homeowners. It adds value to your home and brings family members together at a time when it’s difficult to separate kids and teenagers from screens.
Think of outdoor living as “everything you can do indoors but outdoors.” Instead of the rickety patio chair of the past, you can bring all the comforts of your living room with you into nature.
Add utility, beauty, and functionality to your property.
An outdoor living contractor can work with you to improve your property. Here’s what our clients typically look for in outdoor living:
- Comfortable, functional spaces for events and get-togethers
- Added amenities to existing outdoor spaces
- Custom outdoor areas for relaxation and utility
Outdoor living contractors offer an opportunity to improve your standard of living and make life easier. For example, we recently installed a dog-washing station for a client who provides pet foster care to give back to the community. The options are endless, and no matter what you choose, it’s going to add value to your property.
The key word is “custom.”
An outdoor living contractor should be able and willing to customize the project to your exact needs and specifications. Your outdoor living space should be whatever you want it to be.
If there are limitations due to space or other aspects of your property, a good contractor will help you find a design that works within those limitations but still delivers.
Here are the five most popular outdoor living projects.
Here are a few of the more common projects outdoor living contractors work on. Think of these ideas as a jumping-off point that you can use to customize your space.
Relax and entertain guests with a new or renovated patio.
Whether you want a multi-level tile patio or a simple pea gravel space, a contractor can help you make a patio that complements your home.
Patios are versatile spaces that make your yard a destination for friends and family—creating an area for entertainment or relaxation.
Add a pergola for shade in the summer.
A pergola is a structure with columns supporting a roof of beams and rafters. They can be freestanding or attached to your house, bridging the gap between indoors and outdoors.
If you have a treeless area in your yard, pergolas are an ideal way to add shade and privacy while beautifying your space. Grow climbing plants on your pergola for additional shade and a natural touch.
Create a custom, fully functional outdoor kitchen and wet bar.
From built-in grills and wood-fired pizza ovens to granite countertops and seating areas, you can add a functional outdoor kitchen that’s perfect for hosting meals. If you don’t want to commit to a full outdoor kitchen, go a little smaller with a wet bar. Either way, you can have a space that’s functional and fun.
Add a fire pit.
It’s the perfect focal point for a gathering on cooler evenings. You’ve got options. Depending on your preferences and type of home, you might want a traditional wood-burning fire pit or a modern gas-fueled option.
Landscaping enhances natural beauty.
Outdoor living isn’t limited to structures, it also includes landscaping projects. Work with a contractor to choose plants, trees, and shrubs, as well as hardscaping features like paths and retaining walls that make the space beautiful.
An outdoor living contractor can help you execute your vision.
It’s always a good idea to work with a contractor throughout the design and construction process rather than trying to DIY a project.
An outdoor living contractor will have the specialized knowledge to ensure your space is designed and constructed professionally. And they can ensure legal compliance and permits to make the process stress-free.
