Your home's backyard is a place of entertainment
for friends and family, as well as an area of rest and relaxation. That's
why it's crucial have an attractive and functional backyard that can be enjoyed
for a multitude of purposes. With some
preparation, you can turn your backyard into a place of unparalleled beauty by
installing a picture-perfect deck, ideal for enjoying the great outdoors right
from the comfort and convenience of your own home.
When installing a deck in your home, you'll need
to consider your options before going forward. This process entails working
with a designer, undergoing a site survey, as well as the final construction.
Once your deck is completed you are sure to be satisfied by all it affords, offering
a place perfect for large parties and gatherings, as well as quiet dinners for
two.
Consultation
Consulting with a designer is the first step to
having a custom deck installed in your home. Many companies offer free
consultations, perfect for customers who may still be on the fence about their
deck installation. From there you can tailor a deck to your specific needs
(i.e. renovations to existing decks, installation of a new deck, determining a
design plan, etc.), with the assistance of a friendly and knowledgeable
designer.
Site Survey
The next step in the process is the on-site survey
of your property. A site survey might
include measuring the area of the proposed deck, selecting the exact location,
determining the load-bearing capacity of ground where the deck will be
installed, as well as going over options for deck access and the like. A thorough site survey is crucial for the
success of future construction.
Design
Backyard decks can be of a simple construction,
or they can be an elaborate backyard oasis. By working with top-notch
designers, you can create the deck of your dreams. Designers can add on to an
existing structure, or help you build a deck from the ground up.
Construction
Once construction gets underway, the right
company will ensure the installation process will be fast and efficient. In
addition, builders should always conduct themselves in a professional manner
while working in your home. This entails respecting your property while
installing your deck, as well as keeping to set schedules and deadlines.
When constructing a backyard deck, you want a
company with years of experience under their belts, one that offers both highly
innovative designs along with the utmost in professionalism. Archadeck has
years of experience in the deck-building business, offering top-rate
professionalism along with exemplary customer service on each and every
project.
All great tips to having a great backyard. It is expensive, but worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous. So wish it was mine....without the payments :)
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about the prospect of building our backyard from scratch! I'll have a lot of it, however, so I'll probably try to get the design done professionally, then do a large portion of the work myself...to include special areas for chickens, ducks and all kinds of food! Hard work, but worth it in the end, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI love being outside with my nieces and nephews and a big yard is a must! These tips are great! :D
ReplyDeleteMakes me wish I had a back yard, but then again I like my townhouse with its little patio.

Thank you for this informative post. These are great tips.
ReplyDeleteI love this back yard! I enjoy throwing parties, and backyard BBQs are great, except that mine is postage stamp sized, and to make matters worse, the layout of the back porch is awkward. one day I'm going to use these tips to make the most out of the little yard I've got!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a backyard like that. It's beautiful and not too much grass to mow.
ReplyDeleteSo great to think of such backyard
ReplyDeleteIn our case we had to get our power/gas/phone/cable wires marked because the junction is right where we were looking to put in a patio, rather than a deck. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteGreat and very informative post. We need to do some work at my grandmas house and i love finding posts like this with ideas and recommendations. Thank you this is very helpful :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about having a beautiful yard is wonderful for the whole family. It is nice to sit in your backyard and read a good book and just relax!
ReplyDeleteMy backyard is rather shabby and sloping. Plus, it's on the edge of a busy road. We're looking to move soon and one of the biggest deciding factors will be the yard! I cannot wait to have a backyard as lovely as this.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely great information,, I wish my backyard was large enough to think about doing something back there .. The most I can get of my mine is a few seatings ;) thanks for share @tisonlyme143
ReplyDeletenot sure what happened to my comment but great information.. i only wish my back yard was big enough to actually do something in it besides have a few seat and a small grill.. thanks for share @tisonlyme143
ReplyDeleteThese are all great tips but very expensive. I know, I have priced these out and although it does raise your property value, sometimes it's a choice between the landscape or the kids college. We chose the kids college. So, we have pretty much a mess of a landscape but we're trying to do as much DIY. I always wanted to spend the money on a plan but even that is quite pricey. Wouldn't it be great if we could all just win the lottery! LOL. Great tips though for those who can afford it.

ReplyDeleteWow, that backyard is beautiful. However, I would have to do it all on my own within a budget! But alot of those amenities can be done by hard working homeowners. Thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have such a grand backyard
ReplyDeleteThis is just delightful. I wish I could do this to my backyard.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I would love to have a backyard like the one pictured, it's gorgeous! I'm hoping this summer we can start working on it bit by bit.
ReplyDeleteWow! You sure know your stuff when it comes to backyard designs and landscaping.This is breathtakingly beautiful.I would live out there if I had that layout.You must have done your researching on this because your tips and advice are wonderful.Thanks.I really enjoyed this a lot.
ReplyDeleteI would love a yard like that I don't have much of a back yard ,we are working on are front yard we do a little at a time and will get it done slowly
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, would love for our backyard;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We have been working on ours for the last couple years-- its coming along pretty good--lots of sweat and tears to get it finished but we are happy with the progress--Thanks for some ideas <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Thanks for some great ideas-- we have been working on ours for the last couple years--lots of blood,seat, and tears--but well worth it--Thanks for the tips
ReplyDeleteThis seems like the ideal place to relax in :) Kudos!
ReplyDeleteThis is so peaceful looking. Wouldn't it be fabulous to come home from work and sit out there with your favorite person and a pitcher of sangria?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful backyard! I love the idea of a deck, but it can really eat up your backyard if you're working with limited space. I think it can work for anyone, it just takes some planning. And, of course, being able to afford to have it built or to build it yourself!
ReplyDeleteMy backyard is one strip of grass and a garage so I can't find any way to make it better. I'll try to use these tips.
ReplyDeleteYou might consider finding a student in a landscaping program who might do a plan for a reasonable amount of money.

Thanks for the tips, we are currently working on our backyard, would love to have a deck i know prices may vary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture. Too bad I live in an apartment complex so I don't even have a backyard to look out into.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I would love to have a backyard like the one in the picture above. We live in the country, surrounded by pasture, and of course we enjoy nature but I would love to have a manicured and professionally made backyard. One day!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a backyard to do this in!! This is beautiful!
