You may love your home and your backyard already, but something seems to be missing. The right deck serves as a transition that ties indoor and outdoor living areas together. Whether your contractors are building a new deck or upgrading an old one, you are likely to be pleased with the versatility that it lends to your outdoor space.
Kitchen
As warmer seasons approach, you may be looking for excuses to dine al fresco. Why not cook outside, too? Your contractor can design a deck that supports a full outdoor kitchen complete with a grill, sink, countertops and storage space. You can choose from traditional deck shapes or create your own that works better with your yard to allow for ample seating options.
Fire Pit
Some homeowners aren’t satisfied with only using their backyards during the summer months. They want to be able to enjoy them all year. Another option for a new deck is to create a space around your fire pit. You can arrange the seating area so that your family can roast marshmallows or hot dogs easily without having to lean too close to the flames.
Swimming Pool
One common use for outdoor decks is surrounding a swimming pool or hot tub. Even homeowners who start with merely pouring concrete around the water features often end up adding a wooden deck or having a contractor extend their existing one to surround the pool. It not only is a cooler material for bare feet headed for the water but also gives the whole yard a more streamlined aesthetic.
A new deck can enhance your outdoor spaces tremendously. No matter how you use your backyard, this upgrade gives you a more organized space. With the help of an experienced contractor, you can improve the outdoor areas you use for entertaining or simply enjoying time with the family.
