HOW TO CHOOSE OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Selecting the right seating and eating options for your backyard Read More

Both decks and patios provide the foundations for outdoor living, literally. In essence, they create another room to your home, another spot for friends and family to gather. While they each serve similar purposes, the way they interface with your landscape is different. Patios are generally in the midst of a landscape, almost an extension of the flowers and shrubs that surround them, uniting to form a tranquil spot. Decks, on the other hand, because of their raised stature, offer a separation from the landscape, providing a vantage point from which to observe and appreciate it, rather than being immersed in it. There are a wide array of materials, styles, and price points that make these outdoor features a desired addition for today’s homeowners.
