 When considering adding a deck or patio to your property, we have two words for you to consider: aesthetics and value. The size of your yard doesn’t matter much when it comes to the skillful installation of a deck or patio, and with it you’ll be able to enjoy the outdoors more—whether that’s on your own or with friends and family.

At roughly $35 per square foot for a new deck, the return is well worth it when that deck makes back 77.3% of its cost in added home value. Patios generally cost even less, at $700-$2,000 for a new build. Of all the additions one can add to their home, these are two of the easiest and most affordable, with a multitude of rewards.

 No matter how large the investment, when you’re putting work into your property you want to be sure that it’s going to be worth it. In this case, the news is good.

With proper care, your deck can last 25–40 years. With little to no care? About 10-15 years. Patios can last a lifetime. In fact, paving stone manufacturers offer a lifetime guarantee on their products to back this fact. Try to remove a patio from your property—it’s not simple.

So for your $700-$2,000, patios are the best bang for your buck.
