If you’ve ever considered ways to add value to your home, you may have thought about remodeling your kitchen or bathroom or even adding on another stall to your garage. Instead of these major undertakings, a patio installation is a great place to start. You’ll likely pay less money up front and gain a good return on your investment when you sell. Below, JK Landscape Construction in Clearwater, MN, goes into details on three ways a patio will improve your home’s value.

Improve Your Home Value These 3 Ways With a Patio Installation

1. Adding a Feature

You pay more for items that have more features, like gloves with built-in heat sources or cars with fancy seats. When you bought your home, it did not have a patio and you paid a certain price. That cost will go up for the next buyer because now the home will have an additional feature – the brand-new patio.

2. Increasing Livable Space

Prospective home buyers will want to know how much space on your property is livable. By doing a patio installation, you’re increasing the square footage of your home, even if it is just seasonally. Today’s design trends include creating more seamless outdoor spaces with comfortable furniture, electronics, like TVs and sound systems, and full kitchens. Keep these factors in mind when creating your new patio.

3. Appealing to a New Market

Providing easy outdoor access may appeal to a different market of possible buyers than your home would have attracted prior to your patio installation. It’s much easier to get to your yard if you can step out onto a patio and down a step or two, and this feature won’t go unnoticed by buyers who are looking for integrated outdoor spaces.

Whether you want to add an exciting feature, improve your livable square footage or appeal to a new market, installing a patio may be just what your home needs.
