Investing in outdoor upgrades is a great way to improve your quality of life while adding to the value of your home! Some outdoor renovations will net you a handsome profit if and when you eventually sell. Even those that don’t yield a return of 100% will largely pay for themselves. Consider it a highly subsidized investment in a lifestyle upgrade. Take your yard to the next level with these six outdoor renovations.
Give Your Home a Resort Feel with Interlocking Patios, Decks, and Walkways
Patios, driveways, fireplaces, steps, walkways, and entrances are all given a stately boost when constructed with interlocking stone. They’re classic, durable, and come in a huge range of textures and patterns.
These features will immediately improve curb appeal. In fact, they’re likely to be the first thing a prospective buyer sees when they visit your home.
Light Up Your Life with Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting will light up your amazing backyard, improve safety, and allow you to see the illuminated faces of your beautiful friends and family long after sunset.
Use a combination of spotlights, garden lights, flood lights, string lights, up and down lights and more to add shine to your yard.
Be sure to include pictures in your home listing so that home-hunters can anticipate endless summer nights in their well lit backyard.
Pro Tip: It’s not as simple as screwing in a lightbulb. Just as with indoor lighting, different types of lighting, arranged in different configurations, will highlight different aspects of your yard. Consult a professional.
Cook Up Backyard Fun with an Outdoor Kitchen
Good times and good food go together like steak and BBQ sauce. Turn your backyard into a banquet for birthdays, wedding days, or even plain old Saturdays with an awesome outdoor kitchen. The best part? The chef won’t miss a bit of the fun running back and forth to the indoor kitchen. Homebuyers will delight in this unexpected feature.
Pro Tip: Build an outdoor kitchen that fits within your available space and suits your needs. BBQs, fridges, cupboards, ovens and fire pits can all be utilized. Davel’s innovative 3D process gives you a sneak peak before work has even begun. You’ll almost smell the food!
Escape the Elements with Outdoor Wood Structures
Pergolas, pavilions, cabanas, gazebos, and other structures add prestige to your yard. They also provide protection from the elements, such as sun and rain.
Simply put, these structures increase the number of days per year that you’ll be able to enjoy your yard. Homebuyers often purchase homes based on what they imagine their lives will be like. The prospect of relaxing in one of these structures is highly attractive!
Pro Tip: Choose a style that will stand the test of time. Davel’s gallery displays some of our fine work, while our innovative 3D design process puts you in the structure right away.
Boost Your Home Value with a Landscaping Upgrade
Everybody loves a nice garden. Ditto a well kept lawn, some nice trees, or a peaceful fountain. There’s a reason that the term ‘outdoor oasis’ has gained popularity. Not only do these features improve curb appeal, they potentially boost mental health. Relaxing in your back yard might just be the best part of your day!
The trick is to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Once again, our 3D process can help create the landscape design that you want for your house.
Pro Tip: It’s important to have landscaping that works with your lifestyle. Flower gardens require considerable upkeep. Rock gardens less so. Decide how much time you’d like to spend working in the yard, and design accordingly.
Storage and Fences Make Great Outdoor Upgrades
Storage and privacy are two big concerns for homebuyers. Alleviate these concerns with a well crafted shed and fence. Your shed can be used to store yard equipment or other belongings. Good fences, as the saying goes, make good neighbors. Both can boost your home value!
