Purchasing a home is often many people’s largest investment. Adequately, large investments often carry a large price tag and large price tags can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when it comes to older homes.
As a homeowner, you know how much value your outdoor space has. It’s a space used for entertainment, a space to let your dogs out, have your kids run around, read your favourite book or enjoy a cool beverage on a hot summer day!
Your outdoor space is an extension of your indoor living space, with the benefits that nature has to offer. Think green.
As you may know, the more appealing your outdoor space looks the more you can enjoy it.
Appealing outdoor spaces increase the economic value of your home. Although you’d like to make your outdoor space look more appealing, you may be hesitant as you are worried about costs and the stress of a project.
DON'T BE! If you're on a budget, there are many ways that your budget can be accommodated, and we’ll work with you to drastically change the look of your place, without burning the bank.
You can simply clean up your existing outdoor space, modifying a few aspects to make a huge difference.
Here's an example. Your home has old interlocking pavers from front to back that just doesn't look as appealing as it once did.
There are weeds growing all over, sunken areas, broken pavers, and just overall dirty pavers from years of no maintenance. Now you're thinking you have to spend a fortune to re-do the whole job with new pavers to make it look good. Think again!
Paver relay, wash, sand and seal.
This is a budget friendly option for your situation where we would remove all pavers, re-do the base by adding necessary base materials for strength and longevity, re-install the same pavers, power wash them, seal the joints with polymeric sand and eliminate any chance of weeds, and finally seal the pavers to bring back the original color and look that it once had.
After completing this process, your place will look as good as new and will only be about half the cost as using new materials.
Depending on your budget or preference, you can add certain features to give it a different look or feel, like landscape lighting, feature walls, a contrasting new border insert, etc. to really spice it up and give it a new feel.
Below are some before and after pictures of a recent project so you have a clearer idea.

After

As you can see, the results were tremendous and from where we left off. With basic routine maintenance, the outdoor space should maintain its clean appealing look.
In conclusion, creating a beautiful and clean outdoor space can be less costly than you might think! If you have any questions, thoughts or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would love to chat with you and provide our honest opinion.
