In keeping with this trend, adding a deck is one of the hottest remodeling projects this spring.
Decks represent a transition from the house to the outdoors.
They may be an extension of the house or a separate outdoor room linked to the house by a pathway. Just as rooms inside the house serve different needs, so can the deck. Before you start planning your deck, think about how you want to use it. In addition, when planning a deck, think about how it will blend with the house, the surrounding land, and your community. Also consider how much access to the house you will need when using it, plants that will accompany it and how it will transition from the house to the yard.
