Take Your Yard from Drab to Fab with Outdoor Environments

It’s a new year! What does that mean for your outdoor space?

Hopefully it means new updates, features and structures. In the Kansas City area, Outdoor Environments has plenty of experience with exterior remodeling. This includes decks (single and multi-level), gazebos, arbors, hot tubs, spa enclosures, screened patios, seasonal outdoor rooms, room additions and much more.

Is your yard in serious need of a makeover?

If you aren’t sure which of our specialties is right for you, here’s a look back at some of our posts that might help you to make informed decisions when it comes to your outdoor living plans for 2012!

  • Are things at home becoming tight and crowded? Then a room extension might be your answer to comfortable living.
  • Since the weather outside is still nippy to say the least, a hot tub might be in order. And don’t forget the cover!
  • Stay outside and keep warm with a fireplace or fire pit.
  • When spring rolls around again, you’ll need a dedicated outdoor grilling spot. And yes, we can do it!
  • To add charm and personality outside your home, consider a custom entryway arbor.
  • Read more about how a detached porch can improve your quality of life by providing the best of two worlds – inside and outside!
