Increase the Value of Your Home with these 6 Backyard Renovation Tips
Your backyard can easily become an oasis where you escape for some much-needed rest and relaxation or socialize with family and friends. In this article, we will explore the top six backyard renovation tips that can increase the value of your home and look amazing.
Top Backyard Renovation Tips
Here are a few ways to make your backyard pop while increasing the value of your home:
Install a Deck
Fashion a deck from wood boards or plastic decking. You can also create a patio with concrete or Central Florida pavers. A deck must look great and be functional. It is a location where you will spend time sunbathing, hosting outdoor parties, or lounging with the family. You can opt to install the deck as a DIY project or call in the pros.
Plant More Trees!
In Florida, the sun is brutal during much of the year. Having trees positioned throughout the backyard not only offers great shade but also creates a windbreak during heavy storms. Ideally, you should choose tree types that are not messy and grow well in your region.
Pergola for Shade
Central Florida pergolas are immensely popular. You can fashion vines to grow across the structure and even string bright outdoor lights to illuminate your backyard and seating area. Beneath the protective cover of the pergola, why not place your favorite outdoor furnishings so you can genuinely enjoy the space.
Construct an Outdoor Room
You can enjoy your backyard from the comfort of an outdoor room. In the Sunshine State, biting insects and other pests often put a damper on outdoor enjoyment. However, Central Florida screen rooms let you enjoy nature while being protected. You can feel the breeze as it blows through the screen but still have safety which is important especially during the evening hours when biting insects such as mosquitos emerge. If you have a pool, then installing a screen room over the pool keeps the water pristine and cuts back your pool’s maintenance needs.
An Outdoor Kitchen for Entertaining
The crowning glory of any backyard renovation project is an outdoor kitchen. Imagine cooking in your backyard. You do not have to run back to the house for food. Instead, you can whip up delicious meals by starlight or as you watch the sunset. An outdoor kitchen is a must-have for anyone who enjoys entertaining or has a large family. Cook, serve, and dine in the privacy of your landscape. Also, outdoor kitchens have become part of most Floridians’ criteria when they are looking to purchase a new home. Everyone seems to want an outdoor kitchen for ease and entertaining guests.
Walkways
Central Florida pavers make perfect walkways throughout your backyard. A walkway keeps your shoes from getting dirty, so you are less likely to track a mess into the house. When it rains and storms, the soil, and grass become soggy but with a walkway, you can stay relatively dry and clean as you traverse the outdoors.
