Benefits of Adding a Patio
Patios are one of our favorite backyard additions. Patios have numerous advantages that homeowners love. Here are just a few of the reasons we love them:
1. Affordability
Patios offer a budget-friendly way to enhance outdoor living space. The cost per square foot for a basic brush-finish concrete patio compared to a deck is roughly 20%. If your budget is tight, we can reduce the size of the deck by just a bit to keep the whole project within budget and create almost double the usable space without breaking the bank.
2. Create Additional Living Space
A patio can transform unused outdoor areas into functional spaces for relaxation, dining, and entertaining. It essentially extends the indoor living area outdoors, providing room to set up furniture, lighting, and décor, which allows for an ideal gathering spot in any season. This extra space can be tailored to a variety of needs, from hosting barbecues to simply enjoying a quiet evening outside.
3. Create a Shady Spot Under a Deck
Installing a patio beneath a raised deck offers a natural, shaded retreat. This shaded area stays cooler in the summer, offering protection from the sun, and can also shield from light rain, allowing outdoor enjoyment in various weather conditions. With the addition of outdoor furniture or even a hammock, this shaded patio can become a cozy, comfortable place to relax and escape the summer heat.
4. Extra Storage Space
Patios can also serve as convenient storage solutions. Homeowners can add weatherproof storage boxes or cabinets to keep outdoor tools, cushions, or seasonal decorations neatly organized. For raised decks, the space below can be closed off and transformed into additional storage for lawn mowers, trash bins, and more freeing up room in the garage or basement.
5. Aesthetic Appeal
A well-designed patio enhances the visual appeal of a home by creating a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. With countless design options available including stone, tile, stamped concrete, or pavers, a patio can complement any style, boosting curb appeal and creating an inviting atmosphere that enhances both beauty and functionality.
6. Low Maintenance
Patios are typically easy to maintain, especially when made of durable materials like concrete or pavers. They require minimal cleaning and, with occasional sealing, can last for years without significant upkeep. This low maintenance feature makes patios a practical and attractive choice for homeowners who want a usable outdoor space without the need for constant care.
