Benefits of a Custom Outdoor Patio

If you’re wondering whether a patio is the right choice for your backyard, consider the following benefits of adding one to your space: 

  • It gives you a convenient place to enjoy the great outdoors: Many of us wish we had more time to spend outside, but with such busy schedules, it’s not always possible. Adding a patio to your backyard can help you carve out time to spend outside in a convenient way. 
  • It extends your living area: If you have a small home, it might not always feel like you have enough space for your family. By adding a patio to your backyard, you can extend your living space without taking on a large project like building an addition
  • It gives you a place to host friends and family: Few things are more enjoyable in life than spending time and making memories with the ones you love. Building a patio in your backyard gives you the perfect space for entertaining, whether you’re hosting a BBQ, celebrating a child’s birthday, or just hanging around with the most important people in your life.

Do You Need a Patio Enclosure?

Patio enclosures transform an open outdoor space into a protected, more private area, enhancing both its functionality and comfort. These enclosures vary widely in complexity and design, from simple screen rooms to fully enclosed glass rooms. Here are common types of patio enclosures, along with their features and benefits:

  • Screen Rooms: Similar to screened-in decks, screen rooms around a patio offer protection from insects and debris while allowing fresh air to circulate. This type of enclosure is perfect for those looking to enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of bugs.
  • Retractable Enclosures: These are flexible solutions that can be opened or closed as needed, providing the best of both worlds—open air when the weather is nice and protection when it’s not. Retractable awnings, canopies, and even motorized retractable roof systems fall into this category.
  • Glass or Acrylic Enclosure Panels: For a more permanent solution, some opt for glass or acrylic panels that can turn a patio into a greenhouse-like space or a closed-off, wind-protected area. These panels can be custom-fitted to your patio’s dimensions and can sometimes be opened or removed during favorable weather.
  • Patio Covers: If you want to enjoy your patio to the fullest, you’ll need something to shade you. Patio covers are a great way to stay cool and avoid harmful rays from the sun.

When planning a patio enclosure, consider factors like your climate, the intended use of the space, your budget, and how the structure will complement your home’s existing architecture. Additionally, it’s important to check local building codes and any homeowners association guidelines to ensure compliance with regulations.

Patio Design FAQs

Will adding a patio increase my home value?

In most cases, yes! A well-designed patio area can increase your home value by about 8-10%, so you can feel confident that you’re making a smart investment in your home. 

How much will my patio design cost?

While it depends on the different features you add to your design, such as size, design and materials, we’d be more than happy to chat with you about your project ideas and give you a free quote to help you budget for your new patio.

Should You Attempt a DIY Patio Installation?

While creating your own patio might seem like a way to save money, the opposite might actually be true. Many homeowners underestimate the time and effort it takes to build a patio. It’s also not uncommon for unforeseen issues to arise. In many cases, homeowners end up hiring a professional to complete the project and fix any issues, which means they spend more money than they would have if they had hired a pro from the beginning.
