Outdoor Living FAQs

Popular upgrades like outdoor kitchens, fire features, and well-designed patios provide the best return on investment, as they extend usable living space.

We recommend heat-resistant, durable materials like natural stone, pavers, and composite decking to withstand extreme temperatures and sun exposure.
