Summer Is the Best Time to Get a Deck or Patio—Here’s Why

Summer is when we spend the most time outside, so why not make the most of your home’s outdoor space with a deck or patio? Here are three reasons why summer is the best time to add a deck or patio to your house.

Warm weather is the perfect time to take on an outdoor project

Outdoor projects tend to cost more and take much longer to complete when the weather outside gets in the way. In the summer, you have the best shot at fair weather that’s ideal for constructing a patio or deck. When you’re scheduling a construction time, try to scope out the weather forecast a while in advance to avoid any rain or thunderstorms. Wet supplies and wood can set your project back anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

It’s like having an outdoor getaway right at home

Having a deck or patio attached to your home is like having an outdoor getaway you can escape to any time. When it’s stuffy indoors during the summer, or you’re looking for a place to relax, you can simply lounge on your deck with a comfy chair and listen to the breeze blow. You can also invite friends and family for a relaxing outdoor get-together, fire up the grill and host a backyard barbecue, or start a game of lawn sports—fun that can only be found outdoors.

Take your backyard design to the next level

Summer is the season of outdoor decor—think elegant gardens, lawn ornaments and stylish furniture. A new deck or patio is the perfect way to elevate your home’s backyard design just in time for everyone to enjoy it. Whether you’re going with wood or cement for the base of your patio, or you want a deck that’s covered or uncovered, each design decision allows you to build an outdoor space that fits your style. After construction is done, you can outfit your new deck or patio with custom decor, from festive lighting to patterned furniture and rugs

There’s no better time than summer to sit outside and watch the clouds roll by. What could be better than a new deck or patio to relax on with friends and family?
