This summer you have had months of enjoyment, barbequing and entertaining in your backyard. You have laughed and soaked up the sun, but now that Fall is here and cooler weather has arrived, it is a great time to imagine what your outdoor space can become.
While not part of your home’s square footage, outdoor space is truly an extra room in your home. It is just as customizable, if not more, and renovations can vary in involvement and cost. After using your backyard for an entire season, your needs and also wants are still fresh in your mind.
Beside from your choice in ground cover (grass, rock, mulch), the patio is one of the most important components. This area will draw the most attention and presumably, will be the area you spend the most time on. Stone, brick and wood patio arrangements are among the most popular with our customers, who are often amazed by how much a new patio and walkway was able to transform the entire space.
Other popular renovations are outdoor kitchens and covered areas. With an outdoor kitchen you can entertain outside, while still cooking the hot dogs! Outdoor kitchens include refrigerators, sinks, stoves and barbeques. And covered areas are becoming increasing popular for outdoor kitchens, allowing homeowners to enjoy the outdoors rain or shine.
Even though the outdoor season is coming to an end, there are options to extend your season. Projects like outdoor fire pits and heaters can heat up those cold Fall nights. Fire pits come in all shapes and sizes to fit your space. We can also build wood, charcoal and gas burning fire pits.
If you are interested in an outdoor renovation, give us a call at RIGGS. We can give you an estimate and bring your backyard dream to reality.
