High-quality outdoor living areas: are they worth it? Yes, and here’s why.
An outdoor living area can include both hardscaping and landscaping, but in general, it usually deals with the outdoor sitting and dining areas we all know and love. Every home improvement we make needs to not only be worth it for the lifestyle benefits but the home value benefits, too. Are outdoor living areas worth it?
The Value of an Outdoor Living Area for Health & Wellness
An outdoor living area, like a deck or patio, is always attractive to any homeowner or homebuyer. Whether you live in an apartment or a single-family home, you will feel so much better if you have somewhere private to go outside and sit down on a solid platform and not soggy ground. Simply taking time to stand outdoors in the sunshine looking at and listening to nature, even if it’s just your bushes and a squirrel or two, can improve your mental and physical health significantly.
The Value of an Outdoor Living Area for Socializing
An outdoor living area also makes it easier to show hospitality, especially if you have sufficient lighting and an outdoor heat source like a fire pit, fireplace patio heater, or outdoor space heater. It will give you another option for hosting gatherings, which can be especially useful when you have great weather and a lot of people. Outdoor living areas are separate from the rest of the house, so they can create a space to entertain without disturbing the rest of the household.
The Value of an Outdoor Living Area for Home Value
An outdoor living area is not a part of the house, so is it really necessary to spruce it up for home value? If you are planning on moving soon, you might not need to install the works in your outdoor living area, but if you intend to stay for as long as possible, then you can rest assured that the cost of a high-quality outdoor living space will give you a positive ROI.
