Small Spaces Big Returns Homeowners continue to embrace the trend of maximizing outdoor living space.
Now is the time to be thinking and planning your outdoor living spaces if you want to be ready for spring. Without erecting the traditional four walls and roof, outdoor living spaces can be easily created for large or small homes, and everything in between. Enhancing an outdoor space with hardscapes adds value and can be adapted for multiple uses. CNN Money suggests some outdoor kitchens can fetch a 100-200% ROI. Homeowners continue to embrace the trend of maximizing outdoor living space, whether it’s an outdoor kitchen or patio living room with a fire pit. New construction should include plans for exterior hardscapes, especially when you consider the return on investment, not to mention the added customer appeal. Nicely designed landscapes and outdoor spaces add a great deal to curb appeal. There are many solutions to fit any budget and need. Products like permeable pavers or gravel walkways controls runoff and helps in areas where drainage is a problem. As a natural extension of the home’s ground floor, a patio significantly expands a family’s living and entertaining space. It provides a perfect gathering spot for guests and family who will be drawn from indoor dining areas to this enticing outdoor space. The party is always in the kitchen, so design outdoor areas wisely. Consult with experienced designers and installers that can help you enjoy your outdoor living experience. v For more information contact: Trevor Cole at Across the Pond.
