Deck Builder
As the song says, “Everybody’s working for the weekend.” But when you reach that weekend, you should be able to enjoy it both indoors and out. One of the best investments a property owner can make is expanding their functional outdoor space by adding a deck. That holds true for both homes and businesses – having an outdoor retreat, where you can relax and feel the wind on your face, immediately adds value to your property.
A huge bonus of contracting with experts like those at Love for Lawns is that your options for what the deck can be are limitless. With years of experience, unmatched skill, and creative minds in our employ, the options for what we can create together with our clients has no bounds.
One of the first steps is deciding what design you would like for the deck. Where in the property it’s going, how big an area you’d like to create, and how it attaches to the main building are all some of the things you’ll talk through with the landscapers at Love for Lawns right at the beginning of our time together. If it’s going in front of your house to serve as a simple lounge area, it might not need to be quite as large; if it’s going in the backyard as an entertainment space, you may need extra room to roam around; if it’s going to be more than one story, we can talk more about where it’ll extend.
The next step is to consider what material you’d like to use. Each option has its pros and cons, and some materials may fit better with your planned use of the deck. The most popular option is pressure-treated wood, which has a lower price point but requires a bit more maintenance. Hardwood is another common option, with its beautiful coloring, durability, and natural resistance to insects and rot – although its price tag is a bit heftier. Concrete is another practical and durable option, but it can heat up pretty fast in the Texas sun. Of course, whatever you pick should complement the appearance of the rest of your property. The professionals at Love for Lawns will talk through all the possibilities with you so you can come to an informed decision when planning your addition.
Decks are also one of the safest investments a homeowner or business owner can make. The return on investment clocks in around 70% to 80%, which is incredibly high compared to other remodels like installing a room or remodeling your kitchen. The total cost of the project varies, depending on the material and designs you choose.
When it comes to additions to your home, you should never settle for less. Choose a reputable company you know cares about the project as much as you do. In Austin, that means calling Love for Lawns. The decision to add a deck is one that will impact you for a lifetime, from the enjoyment you get from the space, to the return on investment you get if you choose to sell. At Love for Lawns, we bring years of experience and combine that with a true passion for our craft. Our main goal is to see you happy, and we know that we can only achieve that if we strive for perfection each and every time. Call us today.
