Outdoor Structures

Make The Backyard Feel Like Home

Your background is an extension of your home, and it should be a place where you can feel just as comfortable outside as you do on the inside. When considering what outdoor structures you would like in your backyard, it is important to consider your design goals while considering your budget. For properties under the scorching Florida sun, shading is an important factor to take into consideration. If you live in an area filled with pests, outdoor structures with screens are a good option to keep these pesky insects away from your get-togethers. But, should these extensions be placed on a house expansion, such as a porch or patio, or should they be placed on a separate outside space, such as a pavilion?

Decks, Porches, & Patios

Decks, porches, and patios are a great way to bring all the joys and comforts of the indoors out to the beauty and sunshine of the outdoors. The style of this type of outdoor structure is largely dependent on your aesthetic goal for the area, your budget, and where it is being installed. These are typically made of wood, which is lightweight and more rustic, and concrete, which has a longer lifespan than wood while being easier to care for. But, these aren’t the only options for building materials, with natural stone, gravel, bricks, and asphalt all being popular choices as well! If you need a patio remodel or aren’t sure what type of deck, porch, or patio is best for your backyard, contact our patio deck builders today to help find the ideal spot in your Florida backyard.

Gazebos, Pergolas, & Pavilions

Backyard gazebos, pergolas, and pavilions are typically stand-alone structures with built-in shading detached from the home. When installing one of these on your property, you also have the option to make them enclosed, though they are typically left open. Pergolas typically use slated roofing so that you and your guests can sit outside and enjoy some light shes. Gazebos and pavilions have solid roofs. Though outdoor gazebos are often smaller and have enclosed railing and benches, while pavilions are much larger, allowing for more open space so you can personalize the space with furniture and decor.

Outdoor Kitchens

No matter what kind of outdoor gathering you are hosting, whether this is a family gathering or a barbeque, outdoor kitchens will be able to provide you with a sense of convenience, so you don’t have to keep running in and out of your house to get the food. These can also add resale value to your property and can incorporate some of the following elements.

Sheds & Greenhouses

If you have a large yard and lack of space to store various appliances, a shed is a great solution for you! As opposed to a garage, a shed can be easier to access and can open up some space in your garage so you can get back to parking your vehicles in there! In addition, if you have a green thumb and enjoy taking care of plants or doing some gardening, a greenhouse is a perfect way to keep your plants safe while giving them an environment for them to thrive.

Outdoor Fire Pit

When the nights start to get colder, building a fire pit is a great place to curl up with a hot beverage while making s’mores with your family! Many fire pits are often moveable, so they can be set aside when the weather starts to warm back up. These can also increase your property value while adding comfort to your backyard!
