It’s that time of year again - the weather is warm, the flowers are in bloom, and outdoor living is in full swing. With a calendar full of backyard barbecues and evenings under the stars, it’s important that your outdoor space is somewhere you enjoy spending time. From colorful plants to new furniture, the options for upgrading your space can be overwhelming, pricey and time-consuming. That’s why we’re here to suggest a DIY patio, the perfect way to transform your backyard.

We know it doesn’t take much to create a beautiful space that’s comfortable and inviting. Not convinced? Here are 3 reasons to consider a small DIY patio installation this summer.

A Patio Allows You to Spend More Time Outside

A DIY patio allows you to customize a space to your liking so that you truly enjoy spending time outside this summer. While the bare bones may work for some, a small stone patio is the perfect place to set up a grill, fire pit or outdoor furniture so you can host a party or relax outside on a summer night. Avoid the cost and inconvenience of traveling and instead, retreat to your own personal oasis. Add potted flowers, stringed lights, and a few lounge chairs and you’ll find yourself choosing the outdoors over your living room any day. 

A DIY Patio is Simple and Easy

If a DIY patio sounds intimidating, consider talking with some experts. Our team at Haynes is happy to offer everything you’ll need to simply and easily install a patio you love. From a variety of stone options to the expert advice of our staff, we’ll help you achieve the look and design that best suits your needs and space. If you’re unsure where to begin, visiting a patio store or outdoor showroom is the best place to draw inspiration from a wide array of options for customizing your space. You’ll find a variety of patio designs, stones, and structures to determine what’s best for you and see how easy transforming your Connecticut outdoor living space can be. 

Patios Can Increase Your Property Value

Whether you’re looking to move now or in the future, there’s no doubt that a beautiful backyard not only attracts potential buyers but increases the value of your property. What better way to elevate the look, feel, and value of your home than with a DIY patio? While most homeowners focus their attention on indoor renovations, it’s worth it to invest in your outdoor living space and set your home apart from the rest.

A small patio installation can have major returns when you’re ready to sell. Front yards may spark interest in a home, but backyards often seal the deal. Show buyers that your home is more than just a place to live. With a new patio, your home offers a place to entertain, retreat, relax, gather with others and create memories. 

For years, Haynes has been helping customers transform their backyards. While major renovations are fun, exciting and well worth the investment, a simple DIY patio may be all you need to drastically change the look and feel of your space. With summer weather finally here, a patio offers a spot to relax with friends and family outside.
