Backyard upgrades like patios can add great value and comfort to your home, whether you’re getting ready for backyard entertaining or creating the perfect lounging space for you and your family.
As US News reports, having a nice backyard patio is also a big plus for many homebuyers and one of the best ways to add value to your home. Here’s what you should know about sprucing up your backyard patio to enjoy year-round and boost your home’s curb appeal.
“Generally, outdoor projects are some of the best investments homeowners can make,” says Rupa Mehta, outdoor care expert at internet services company Angi. “Nearly every outdoor addition can add resale value to your home as long as it’s designed well for the space.”
For example, Mehta says that homeowners with green lawns can expect a 25% return on investment compared to brown or unmanicured lawns. Decks and patios can give homeowners more than an 80% ROI and patios can add more than $5,000 value to a home.
Having a well-maintained backyard patio can also help you sell your home more quickly. Even minor improvements to your patio can make a big difference. So when you’re thinking about home reno’s andupgrades, you don’t have to look any further than your own back yard.
