If your existing slab is in the right condition (without many cracks or unlevel areas), you can spice up the feel of your outdoor living space with a plethora of options! Trending recently, the wide plank wood floor pattern has been a huge hit. Brick patterns can also drastically change the style of your space. Want a more natural look that goes above and beyond the traditional slab? Earthy tones used in a flagstone pattern blend the interior of your home, calm and warm, with an exciting entertaining exterior living space!

Furniture Facelift

What kind of furniture do you currently have outside? If you have existing furniture that simply needs a facelift, check out the many vibrant colors at your local hardware and painting stores. There are many options for spray paints that are created specifically to weather the outdoors. This is a fun, easy, and might we say inexpensive way to create a lovely facelift to your outdoor space.

Greenery

Ah, yes. Greenery is back and with a vengeance. A recent study by Pinterest indicated that the use of green vines has had a phenomenal increase at the end of 2016. Adding the climbing hints of green within your outdoor space enhances the fresh, natural aura and is a great filler to those bare, empty spots on your patio.

Shade

What a concept! In Houston, this is an absolute necessity if you are adamant about enjoying the outdoor space. There are many options to provide optimal shade coverage, and two we think are best: pergolas and patio covers. Pergolas are a great partial shade option; you get the best of both worlds, sun, shade, and even moonlight stargazing. However, if you prefer to spend hours outside entertaining, you might want to consider full shade. Patio covers offer full shade and can either be an extension of your existing roofline or a stand-alone structure. If you already have the outdoor oasis and need the final touch of shade, patio covers are the way to go. These structures are long-lasting, value enhancing, and custom built (if you call us!).
