Did you know the backyard is a key factor in deciding your home’s market value? Not only that, but an attractive, well-kept backyard increases the homeowner’s overall enjoyment of the home. If your backyard could use a little TLC, contact the LaPonza brothers at LPB Construction Inc. We specialize in outdoor construction projects, including deck, pergola, pavilion, and patio roof construction.
Backyard Benefits
The backyard is more than just a hidden piece of property. Instead, the backyard offers a quiet place for privacy and relaxation. It offers a place for hosting parties, entertaining, playing, camping, and relaxing. The quality and appearance of the backyard, however, greatly impacts the usefulness of the space. Investing in features that improve the comfort and usability of your backyard will benefit you now and when you decide to sell.
Best Backyard Features
1. Deck
A quality deck is a winning feature for homeowners, buyers, and sellers. Decks recoup most (if not all) of their value at the time of sale and are highly attractive to buyers. Similarly, decks improve the look and feel of the backyard. They act as an extension of the home, creating more functional living space that can be used for everything from work, to play, to entertaining, to relaxing. And, with an attached pergola or patio roof, your deck can easily function as an all-weather feature.
2. Outdoor Rooms
Much as with decks, outdoor living spaces are in high demand among homebuyers. Outdoor kitchens are especially popular because they make entertaining and outdoor dining so convenient. Sitting areas such as patios and pavilions are also a great investment. These features add a touch of elegance and are incredibly versatile: think poolside shade, outdoor dining area, outdoor living room, picnic pavilion, and more!
3. Lighting
Well-placed lighting improves both the safety and appearance of patios, decks, and walkways. Popular features include built-in stair lights, deck rail lights, recessed patio roof lights, and outdoor ceiling fan lights. These features create an elegant ambiance that makes your backyard warm and inviting long after dark.
