Everyone uses their backyard differently in Arizona. Some homeowners have installed a pool to cool off during the warmest months. Others gather with friends and family for holidays and special events. A backyard can also provide a sanctuary to relax after a long day of work.
How do you use your backyard?
No matter how you use it, your backyard can certainly benefit from a new wood patio. If you are ready to update your home, consider adding a patio. Below are five benefits for your Arizona home.
5 Benefits of Adding A Wood Patio To Your Arizona Home
1. Built To Match Your Home
A custom patio is designed specifically to match the aesthetic of your home. The color of wood or stain used will be selected to complement the color scheme already used. Another way a patio is designed to match your house is in the shape. If you have notable lines or design aspects, they can be worked into the new wood patio to further match your home. A wood patio offers an attractive look to any Arizona house, especially when it is designed and built to match.
2. Adds Value To The Sale Price
If you are considering selling your home now or in the future, adding a wood patio will increase the value of the property. Not only do you get to enjoy the expanded living space once the deck is added, but you also get to increase the sale price when you are ready to sell. Future owners of your home will also enjoy already having a functional backyard when they move in. Adding a wood patio creates a winning situation for everyone.
3. Provides Shade
Arizona gets hot – like REALLY HOT! During the summer months, temperatures can reach well over 115 degrees. A patio can easily add a significant amount of shade to shield you from the sun and heat. Whether a roof is installed over the patio, you decide on a pergola, or utilize sunshades, it will protect you, your family, furniture, and plants. An added bonus of adding a shaded space, it also will provide cover during the monsoon season.
4. Gathering Space for Entertaining
A backyard is often used as gathering grounds for family events, holiday celebrations, or simple weekend fun. By adding a wood deck to your house, you are also adding a space for entertaining family and friends. Again, a custom patio is designed to fit your needs and watch for your backyard space. For example, if you grill a lot and host family dinners, an outdoor kitchen may be a good addition to the patio. You can also add custom seating arrangements that can be built in.
5. Energy Savings
One benefit that homeowners might not think of when deciding to add a wood patio is the energy savings. With over 300 days of sunshine, Arizona homes can absorb a lot of heat throughout the day. A shaded patio can also protect your home from the intense sunshine by blocking the windows and walls. Your air conditioner won’t need to work as hard to keep your house a cool temperature and energy bills should decrease.
Wood Patio Installation
Adding a new wood patio to your Arizona home has incredible benefits. From providing much needed shade to giving a gathering area for all of your family functions. You might also see an increase in the value of the property along with a decrease in your energy bills. Designed to match the look and feel of your home, a wood patio is a great addition.
