Masonry Projects to Add Enjoyment and Value to a Home

When everyone was forced to spend more time at home during the worst of the pandemic, it was easy to see areas of the home that needed improvement. During warmer months, it became apparent that improvements to the exterior of the home and landscape would give the family more room to spread out and enjoy their time together at home.

Even after the restrictions for the pandemic were lifted, many families were still not ready to venture out as much as before. People discovered the pleasure of spending time at home in a safe environment.

By adding a patio, masonry paths, outdoor kitchens, and other projects to the yard, time in the fresh air can be more enjoyable. Having masonry improvements done to the front of the home to improve curb appeal is also a good investment. Investing in a new driveway to replace one that is old and cracked can add to a home's value.

Outdoor living spaces like a deck, patio, or outdoor kitchen vary widely in price, depending on what features are included and what materials are chosen. The size of the project also affects the cost. Will the floor be stone, ceramic, or patio block? Will the patio or deck have a roof? What size floor is possible on the lot and how close to the kitchen can it be? How difficult will it be to access the space for building and earth-moving equipment?

Retaining walls and terracing might add to the usable space in a backyard by reclaiming space that is on a hill or has low places in it. A masonry company can bring in equipment to form a nice level landscape bordered by a retaining wall or terracing to hold a hill in place and provide stability to the landscape. These projects can add footage to the outdoor living space for gardening and other outdoor activities. 

Terraced areas can be adapted for vegetable gardening, fruit trees, or attractive flowering plants or shrubs. The retaining walls can also give the family privacy. Landscape designs can include different gardens or seating areas connected with masonry paths. Families with small children can add an outdoor play area with a sandbox and game areas. 

A family can add one improvement project each year to spread the costs over a longer period of time. As each project is completed and the family is enjoying the results, they can look forward to the next project.
