1. Planning For Your Patio and Deck Project
While definitely exciting, it’s good to keep in mind that adding a deck or a patio to your home isn’t something to be taken lightly. It will take a lot of planning, so it is very important to have a clear idea in mind as to what you want your project to look like. First, you should carefully choose the location where you want your deck or patio. Your choice of the location should complement the home’s overall aesthetics and the existing landscape.
Next comes the design. It’s important to have a clear idea of what you want, as there are many designs to choose from. You may want an open deck or patio, or you may choose to have your deck screened to keep out the bugs. You may even choose to consider gazebos for decks for that special look.
After you pick the design, you should then start thinking about what materials best suit your design. The features you want to have with your deck or patio will also determine the type of materials to use. For instance, would you want to use fiberon composite decking or wood? Would you want your deck railing designs to feature cable deck railings or vinyl deck railing? Perhaps you’re also considering motorized outdoor shades or even an outdoor fireplace?
2. Deck And Patio Construction
For people who have the knowledge, time, energy and equipment, they choose to take the DIY route when constructing a deck or a patio.

3. The Use And Functions Of Your Patio And Deck
If you determine that a patio or a deck project is what you want, you now need to give your idea some substance. You can start by poring over pictures of decks online in order to get patio and/or deck ideas. Better yet, our representatives can show you pictures of past projects that may help you decide on what to go for.
Many features can be built into your deck or patio. Perhaps you’d like built-in seating or maybe you’d want an alternative like fiberon composite decking instead of real wood? You may even decide on a deck gazebo, a patio fence or even deck fire places. Whatever you desire, it’s better to plan for these additions now instead of inserting them after construction has started. This way, you get to set aside an adequate budget and you get to avoid unpleasant surprises later on.
4. Make Sure Your Deck or Patio Offers Desired Capacity
You should always maximize any space you set aside for a deck or a patio. After all, you never know how popular your property will become after you put the features in. As an experienced deck and patio company, we always help our clients determine the most cost-effective strategy. For you to be able to entertain adequately, it’s very important to make sure that there is ample space for guests to lounge around comfortably.
Planning ahead by having built-in lounges put in, or making arrangements for deck chairs and stools is something that is definitely called for. A bar and barbeque area would also be great additions to the patio or deck. Make sure the capacity of your deck and patio project matches with what you want to use the area for.
5. Budgeting For The Unexpected
Every construction project comes with its own share of surprises. Perhaps the ground is too soft and needs extra preparation. Or, there are underground structures in the way of foundation such as pipes or even sewage tanks. No matter what it is, these things eat into your construction budget and must be planned for.
Getting blind price estimates based on square footage alone is a dangerous practice. It usually leads to disappointing oversight that ends up costing you significantly more. To avoid or even eliminate these setbacks, our company will give you a cost estimate based on the actual observations of your property. Having our crews do a feasibility survey on your property allows us to give you a reasonably accurate idea of the costs involved. The goal of our estimate is to free our clients from any burden of having to shell out more than you have planned.
As one of the most reputable hardscaping builders in Maryland, we take great pride in our work. Our company’s reputation as a competent, innovative and honest service provider is something we deeply cherish and serves as your guarantee of a superb patio and deck project.
