This time of year is all about spending time outside and enjoying the warm weather before winter starts to show her face again. Get the most out of the summer months by adding a deck or patio to your yard. Your house will instantly feel bigger, and you’ll be able to spend hours outside enjoying your new space with friends and family.

Why you should add a deck or patio

Here are some of our top reasons to add a deck or patio to your home.

Increased home value

Adding a patio or deck can be a great way to add value to your home. If you are thinking about putting your home on the market, you might be able to attract more buyers if your home already has an outdoor living and entertaining space.

Add beauty to your outdoor space

Both decks and patios can add charm and energy to your yard. They make properties look finished and inviting. Plus, they work well with a variety of home and yard spaces.

Expand your living space

In the summer, a patio or deck can feel like an extension of your home. Well-designed spaces can have comfortable seating areas, shading and even cooking and entertaining spaces.

Durability

A carefully constructed deck or patio will be sturdy, durable and will last for years to come. If you use the right materials, like stone for a patio or composite material for a deck, your deck or patio can be long-lasting and require minimal care and maintenance. Choosing durable materials will also ensure that your new outdoor living space will be able to handle any of Minnesota’s weather extremes.

Design options

Both patios and decks offer homeowners countless choices when it comes to design and color options. Creating a space that you love is a great way to show off your personality and creativity.

When you are considering a patio or deck, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you want a space that fits your needs. Ultimately, we want you to have a space that you love and that you will use for years to come.
