When people think of home remodels, many think of creating a luxurious master bathroom or a spacious, open kitchen. While those upgrades are amazing, another area where Moss Building and Design has years of experience is transforming backyards. Moss has an extensive history of transforming backyards in McLean. Below are some ideas on how you can turn your own backyard into a dream getaway destination.
Screened In Porches and Sunrooms
One of the most special parts about the Northern Virginia area is that its residents get to experience all four seasons. There are a lot of days of gorgeous weather, but the area can also see its fair share of toasty summer days and winter wonderlands. What better way to enjoy nature year-round than with a screened-in porch or a sunroom?
Moss has helped to create a backyard oasis for many clients in the McLean area. Screened-in porches are one of the best additions to a backyard because they can be enjoyed even in the elements. It is the perfect combination of enjoying the outdoors while still having some protection from the sun, rain, or wind. However, a sunroom offers supreme protection against the elements. Sunrooms are classy and unique, and they are exceptionally functional. Sunrooms can be enjoyed at all times of the year, allowing you a view of the outdoors while still being completely temperature controlled. Both are amazing additions to any backyard.
Patios
Another backyard enhancement that is popular among our Northern Virginia clients are patios. Patios are perfect for providing a space to roast marshmallows over a firepit, to have lounge chairs, and to set up outdoor equipment (such as water tables) for children to play with. The beautiful thing about patios is that they are so versatile, and they are functional no matter what size. Moss has built patios that have come in all shapes, sizes, and textures.
Patios are a great “starter” project for building an outdoor area for play and relaxation. It is a relatively quick process that will not impact your day-to-day life during construction. Patios are a great way to start creating the backyard of your dreams without the stress and uncertainty typically associated with remodeling.
Decks
The most popular backyard addition in the McLean area is a deck. Decks are extremely versatile and are coveted by many in the area. Moss has built countless decks across Northern Virginia. Why are decks such a hot option right now? Because they can be used for so many different activities. Below are some ideas clients have had to utilize their new decks:
- An outdoor cooking area, equipped with seating and an outdoor griddle
- A play place for families with young children
- An area where dogs can be outside
- An outdoor bar with a television mounted to watch the big games
- A cozy nook with a fireplace to be able to enjoy the outdoors when the temperature starts to drop
With a brand-new deck, the possibilities are endless. At Moss, we believe that everyone deserves to love where they live, and we are here to turn our customers' houses into their dream home – one project at a time.
