  Have you been planning on sprucing up your backyard? If so, you’ve probably considered building a new patio or pergola to make it stand out. While both have charm and practicality, which would be the best option for your home? To help you decide, let’s take a closer look at patios and pergolas and how each could be a great addition to your home. Defining Patios and Pergolas Before diving into the benefits of each one, let’s define these two. A patio is built directly on the ground, often made from concrete, brick, or stone. It’s a versatile space to place your favorite outdoor furniture, host a Sunday barbecue, or set up a hot tub for the cooler months. On the other hand, a pergola is an outdoor structure with vertical posts or pillars supporting a roof grid of beams and rafters. It often serves as a decorative addition to a garden, shaded walkway, or recreational area in your backyard. Key Differences Between Patios and Pergolas There are a few main factors that set pati...

Check out our list of the most popular spring decorating trends to spark your creativity and create a space you love! 1. Brighten Your Patio With Some Color It’s time to swap the cool winter color schemes with a dash of spring-friendly pastels. Throwing in some vibrant-colored pillows, cushions, or area rugs can be a fun and easy way to give your patio the life it needs, especially for more neutral-colored furnishings. If you prefer more natural accessories, spring flowers like tulips or primrose can add a beautiful touch to your space.   2. Create Your Own Al-Fresco Dining Spot Nothing beats having a delicious Sunday brunch with loved ones while enjoying the soft spring breeze. But instead of using the same style for every sea...

  Are you looking for ways to enhance the beauty of your outdoor space? A pergola is a flexible option that can quickly become one of your home's most defining features. It's flexible, easy to install and maintain, and gives you much-needed shelter from the rain or intense afternoon sun. How Are Pergolas Different From Patios? Traditional patios or decks are generally used to expand your outdoor area. On the other hand, pergolas are mainly used to enhance and beautify an already existing outdoor space, such as a garden or a patio. For example, if you're using your family deck on a hot day, an attached Four Seasons' Elitewood™ Pergola can give you some shade and let your guests enjoy your space for much longer. 3 Benefits Of Having A Pergola For Your House A heavy-duty and aesthetically pleasing pagoda can be the perfect addition to your home.

From holiday get-togethers to an extra storage room, an enclosed patio is a weatherproof and practical addition to any home. How Do Patio Rooms Work?

We couldn't be more excited about the summer, and it's the best time to be outside to enjoy the warmer weather.

Hopefully, we have seen the last of the big winter snowstorms. As the days are getting longer and the first promising spring buds poking through the soil, now is the perfect time to start thinking about getting your patio summer-ready – whether for entertaining family, guests, or simply yourself on a relaxing day.

Do your walls need a fresh coat of paint or perhaps a new summer look? Switch out or clean your winter furniture to be presentable in your outdoor environment. Wicker furniture is very summery and easy to protect from the summer elements. You can bring your patio to life with some new cushions, pillows, and throws with summer colors like yellows and blues. Decorate Your Patio One way to decorate your patio is gardening to brighten up the space. As winter frost begins to thaw, you should de...
