SOME IMPORTANTS PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
If you are a new homeowner, renovating, or building a new house, there are many aspects of any outdoor living project to consider when starting a new project. Whether you love looking at home design magazines or watching home renovation shows, it can get you thinking about what you want in your home's curb appeal or backyard oasis.
At Hardscape.com, we want to offer our customers not only high-quality and beautifully designed porcelain pavers, but we also want to educate you on what important things to consider when starting a driveway renovation, patio, outdoor kitchen or pool deck.
Here are some homeowner planning tips for your Outdoor Design Project:
1. Do your research. Choosing the right material can be difficult with all the different choices available. Always remember to think about all the seasons your area experiences. If you live in the northeast, you have to think about frost-resistance, slippage, mold, and mildew. For Florida homeowners, anti-slip, extreme temperatures, mold and mildew will be important factors when choosing a material. Manufactured with perfection, Hardscape.com's porcelain pavers are built to last in any season. Our porcelain pavers are frost-resistant, 10 degrees cooler than concrete, anti-slip, made to withstand heavy loads, durable and resistant to mold, mildew, and moss.
When choosing materials like stone pavers, travertine, granite, or marble you must also think about the cost of sealant and general maintenance over the life of the material. With our maintenance-free porcelain pavers, there is no need to lay sealant to keep your patio or driveway looking like new. Your initial investment in our superior product will save you money and time in the long term.
2. Choose the right professional. Get at least three quotes from different contractors to ensure you understand what you want and the cost. When speaking to the contractors, try to understand industry terms and ask questions. Take notes while speaking with them to ensure there is no miscommunication in project expectations. Once you have narrowed it down to your top choices, make sure to ask for customer referrals.
3. Plan your design and include the "Extras." When planning a driveway renovation or new build, most homeowners regret not going wider when redesigning or designing their driveway. Having extra space between parked cars, or enough room for a golf cart can make all the difference in the curb appeal. Adding extra space to your current driveway design will be a decision you do not regret.
Think about your future plans when building your outdoor patio. As your family grows, the space you need will grow too. Plan for the expansion by already including extra square footage around your pool or outdoor living area for a later added kitchen or gazebo.
