How to Start Planning for a New Backyard

If your backyard could use a facelift, don’t make the mistake of slapping a patio down here, thinking about a deck over there, or adding a garden where the cheapest landscaper suggests. You deserve better!

If you’re looking for a space that feels like a sanctuary for relaxation combined with the perfect zones for entertainment and dining you need to think of your space holistically and make sure you are never rushing any decisions. This is why it’s important to begin your backyard transformation by having a clear vision, ample time, and a well-laid-out plan. Here are a few tips to start planning your new backyard:

• Visualize exactly how your space could look

Visualization is the first step to creating a new outdoor living space in the Lehigh Valley. This is why you should begin by asking yourself a few basic questions such as: What do you want out of the yard? What do your ideal materials look like? How much maintenance can you commit to?  

We know that no one likes surprises when it comes to building a new deck, patio, or pool in the Lehigh Valley. This is why we eliminate guessing and surprises by using a design-first approach for every MasterPLAN project. This proven process allows you to see and feel every material before your build begins.

• Understand how much your investment will cost

If you do not have any idea how much your new outdoor living space should cost, you could end up with a contractor who takes advantage of you when it comes to building a new patio, deck, or pool in the Lehigh Valley. This is why it’s important to have a partner who can help you understand how much each feature will cost, how much maintenance your material selections will require, and how your selections will hold up over time.

When it comes to building the backyard of your dreams, monitoring a budget should not be your top priority. This is why we use our proven project management tools and experience to handle all aspects of your project. Before we begin your build, you will receive a full budget study with important details about your investment, alternative options, material overview, and more!  This will help you understand exactly how much your project will cost and make sure you are receiving the best return on your investment.
