Your outdoor spaces are an important part of your property. According to PR Newswire, around 90% of Americans feel that outdoor living spaces are more valuable now than they've ever been. When it's time to update these spaces, you want unique design ideas. There are a lot of design ideas to turn your outdoor space into something special. Keep reading to learn more about three outdoor design options you can try.

1. Stamped Concrete

Using stamped concrete for your outdoor space can improve your home's curb appeal. This is similar to regular concrete, but the concrete is tinted before being poured, which gives it a uniform appearance. The concrete is then stamped with a design after it's poured. This allows you to choose whether you want it to resemble bricks, tiles, stones, or various other design options. You can add stamped concrete to patios and other areas with hardscaping.

2. Gazebos, Pergolas, or Sunrooms

Who says an outdoor space can't be both stylish and practical? Gazebos, pergolas, and sunrooms all serve a similar purpose but provide different styles. Gazebos and pergolas are both cost-effective open structures that take up little space. A gazebo has a fully-closed roof, whereas a pergola has a partial roof, created by interlocked beams forming a horizontal lattice. However, a sunroom provides the most effective protection from the elements while providing a fantastic view of the outdoors. We provide various sunroom options, including all-season rooms and three-season rooms.

3. Patio Covers

Another fun and practical outdoor design trend is a patio cover. This structure provides a similar exposure to the outdoors as gazebos or pergolas while still offering protection from the weather. Your patio cover will keep the patio dry from rain or snow, increase your home's value, and protect furniture from the elements. With this outdoor feature, you can lounge around your fire pit or use your outdoor kitchen no matter what the weather is like outside. Our team is happy to install a patio cover for you as well as assist you when you need patio cover repairs.
