Patio Planning for the Summer Season
Memorial Day weekend represents the unofficial start of the summer. Kids get the day off from school and businesses are mostly closed – it’s the perfect time to gather around a new patio and celebrate. Why not host your own get-together this year on a brand-new patio?
Benefits of a Spring Patio Renovation
Imagine watching the fireflies dance as the longer days fade away into evening. You’re sitting on your new patio with a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade. Make this image a reality with a new patio that brings the living experience outdoors. Spring patio renovation projects give homeowners the ability to:
- Plan landscaping around patio planning. Allow all your yardwork to come together into one warm weather vision before the warmest days of summer hit. Landscaping and hardscaping belong together.
- Enjoy the fullness of the season. If you start a patio renovation in summer or fall, you may have to wait an entire season before you can enjoy the outcome.
- Get the party started. Bring friends, family, and neighbors together to celebrate your new patio and enjoy more opportunities for social and community interaction.
