2022 is here and if you have decided to make it better than 2021 we are right there with you. Here are three ways to make your life better living outside.

More time outdoors: Self Care – 2022

Too much screen time, not enough time outdoors? You are not alone, the average American spends over 7 hours looking at a screen everyday according to Screen Time Statistics article by DataReportal. On the other hand, did you know spending 120 minutes per week in nature or just 17 minutes per day can help with overall well being. Work with our team to create an outdoor space to reconnect you back to the outdoors.

Make your backyard the default entertainment space

Try shifting those family gatherings around the kitchen island and bring it outside whenever possible. Spaces like pergolas or outdoor dining spaces have become popular outdoor spaces that can be shared year round. These outdoor additions come in different shapes, sizes and styles making it appropriate for every home. Luxterra Outdoors can create a smart design to maximize your outdoors square footage and help give your space flow and intention.

Outdoor vegetable garden

Homeowners are finding gardening and getting their hands dirty can be a therapeutic experience in itself – make it your weekend activity this upcoming Spring! It can be a fruit tree, some pots sitting on your back porch growing zucchini, for others, its raised planter beds.

Make 2022 the year to reimagine your home’s potential and live better outside. Start envisioning your design now so your dream yard is ready by Summer. Luxterra Outdoors can help you get started as soon as possible just in time to beat the Spring Rush!

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is design-build more expensive?

Design-build often shows a higher number on the initial quote because design and construction costs are priced together up front. At Luxterra, that means a project in the $50,000 to $100,000 range is scoped as one engagement from the start, so change orders are less likely to surface once installation begins—which is where much of the cost difference in traditional bids actually plays out.

What’s the fastest way to build an outdoor living space?

Starting with a single design-build team is generally the fastest path, since the same company that designs your space also schedules and builds it, without waiting on a separate contractor to bid the finished plans.

How do I avoid contractor miscommunication?

Choosing a design-build firm removes most of the coordination burden, since one team owns both the plan and the execution. If you are pursuing a traditional approach instead, get every material, dimension, and cost detail in writing before construction begins and confirm both your designer and installer have approved the same version of the plan.
