Summer is here, and you’re using your outdoor living spaces daily, enjoying life to the fullest. Speaking of enjoyment, Bradenton wants to share ideas on upgrades you may be interested in to enjoy the outdoors even more.
On tranquil and quiet Florida mornings, many of us enjoy our morning coffee or glass of freshly squeezed juice on our deck or patio. As the day progresses, this extension of your Bradenton home awaits visits from friends and neighbors for drinks and dinner.
For many of our Bradenton clients, their custom designed Archadeck of deck is the primary outdoor gathering space. And many of them are deliberately designed to accommodate functional zones for daily activities.
Built-in deck benches and outdoor chairs and sofas will welcome guests to enjoy your hospitality. On multi-level deck designs, visitation and conversations become even more enjoyable in your backyard oasis.
As for how these are custom crafted by our professional, skilled contractors, many of them are made from composite or PVC. For long-term uninterrupted enjoyment season after season, TimberTech and AZEK decking are the upgrade materials of choice. They are meticulously engineered and fabricated to perform well consistently in our humid and hot climate.
Terrific performers in our local climate, TimberTech composite decking will not swell, split, warp or rot – and it resists mold. All ends and sides of these decking boards are sealed for your protection.
For even stronger resistance to evasive moisture, AZEK Advanced PVC decking contains no recycled wood fibers at all, which makes it an optimum material. And for those of us embracing the relaxed Bradenton lifestyle, it’s reassuring to know that when it comes to deck maintenance, soap and water is all you need. You will never have to bother with staining, sanding, sealing or painting.
Adding a Custom Patio Can Take Your Outdoor Living to a Whole New Level – Literally and Figuratively
Expand your outdoor footprint by having Archadeck of Bradenton Sarasota custom create a patio for even more flexibility and functionality. Our hardscapes are a great solution for upgrades that do not have to be confined to a deck’s perimeter. Want to add a fire pit and seats all around? Upgrade with a new patio. Want to entertain poolside without trekking around your backyard? Add a new patio adjacent to the pool.
Fluidly integrated with your backyard landscape, a custom Archadeck patio will add more texture, color and even greater usability than a deck alone.
Archadeck outdoor upgrades of decks and patios create layered outdoor living design foundations making your backyard more luxurious and functional.
Upgrading Your Backyard With A Pergola Checks All of the Boxes
Some days, when our glorious sunshine gets a little too intense, we all need a bit of shade. For those with a more visually creative aesthetic, an architectural pergola can be an outstanding choice.
Custom pergolas are quickly becoming the ultimate shade alterative for many Bradenton homes. And shade is just one of the functional benefits.
With a pergola, you’ll enjoy glimmers and glints of diffused sunlight instead of intense blankets of sun. And instead of being sequestered under a solid roof, you’ll enjoy natural airflow and breezes from multiple directions.
Pergolas also serve as creative ways to provide privacy, texture and pleasant aromatics with climbing plants and vines. Add an outdoor speaker and some accent outdoor lighting, and you’ll enjoy a most enviable romantic hot spot.
In our coastal climate, for flowering vines that are your best bets for beauty and privacy, consider Bougainvillea. Stunning blossoms of purple, coral, magenta, white and pink are yours to enjoy daily. Very tolerant of our heat and occasional droughts, whimsical Bougainvillea thrives in full sun exposures. Star Jasmine, Coral Honeysuckle and Passionflower are also wonderful pergola accents.
