Top 3 things to consider when building an outdoor living space

Overseeing the construction of a complex outdoor project could sound intimidating. If you hire the wrong outdoor contractor in the Lehigh Valley, you could end up with a partner that causes headaches and frustration. Worse than that, your project could be left unfinished. This is not fair! You deserve to enjoy designing your new outdoor living space, and the construction process should be easy, simple, and fun.

This is why we are sharing a few tips to help you build the outdoor living space of your dreams:

• Do you know how you want to use your new outdoor living space?

The key to the perfect outdoor living space will be creating three separate zones for cooking, dining, and relaxing. But, if you cannot visualize how your layout will flow it could be difficult to determine how much space you will need. Or you could end up wasting money building a custom outdoor kitchen in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania that doesn’t have enough room to accommodate your outdoor living goals.

You deserve to optimize the return on your outdoor living investment. This is why we take the time to understand exactly how you and your family intend to use your new outdoor living space in the Lehigh Valley. As your partner, we can make sure to offer and implement features that provide the most value to your family and home so that you are never left feeling unhappy with your investment.  During the design and discovery phase, we will ask you questions and help you evaluate the best way to design your new outdoor living space to ensure it provides the most value to your home and family.

• How much do you want to invest in building an outdoor living space?

If you don’t set a realistic budget upfront you could end up with project costs that quickly spiral out of control. This can be frustrating, the last thing you want is to waste time designing and falling in love with a space that costs 10x more than your budget to build.

We know setting a realistic budget is a crucial component to the success of your backyard transformation. This is why we begin every project with a conversation about your budget. Once we discuss and understand your visions and budget, we can guide you to solutions that will achieve your goals through a custom 3D design video.
