Why Invest in the Outdoor Room

Why Invest in the Outdoor Room

Improving your backyard is an affordable and achievable way to drastically improve your lifestyle at home.  With a beautiful new outdoor area, you and your family will spend more time outdoors enjoying the fresh air and creating memories.  Improving your outdoor spaces not only improves your lifestyle – it can also improve the value of your home, and when done right, at a rate of return on par with money spent on internal improvements.  If you look at real estate listings, how often do you notice the lead photo is of the outdoor entertaining area? How often do you hear real estate agents talk about ‘kurb appeal’ when assessing property values?  The Outdoor Room hold real appeal for buyers and sellers, but as a homeowner, you have an incredible opportunity to harness this value right now.

Australia’s Appealing Climate

Australia is blessed with a year-round climate and an incredible natural environment.  With such beauty on our doorstop, it’s no surprise that we are passionate about the great outdoors.  For many, our fondest memories are in the outdoors throughout all of our seasons, from camping trips to adventures at beaches, parks and even our backyards which have been a favourite place to pend time with family and friends either around the fire pit in winter, or pool side in the heat of summer.  It’s for this reason that we strive to create beautiful backyards to enjoy the outdoors at home.

DIY Friendly

As outdoor projects are far more DIY friendly than internal renovations, you have the opportunity to take on the job yourself, in your own time, putting your own signature style into it.

Tackling a DIY project is very rewarding however will require some careful planning, the proper tools, the right materials as well as some lifting and patience! Adbri Masonry have produced concrete bricks, Besser® Blocks, pavers and retaining wall blocks that have been used to improve thousands of Aussie backyards. We have backyard ideas for small backyards and wide open outdoor spaces, and with our backyard makeover ideas and how to pave and how to build walls guides, we’ve got the inspiration to help kickstart your project.

The only home improvement that gets better with time

Improving your outdoor spaces not only improves your lifestyle – it also improves the value of your home, and it can provide a return on  on money spent at the same rate as internal cosmetic improvements.  How often do you hear real estate agents talk about ‘kurb appeal’ when assessing property values?  This value actually grows when spent outdoors.  As your garden grows with it, while a kitchen or bathroom renovation will never look as good as it does on the day it is finished! Often, these enhancements will depreciate once complete, coming in and out of fashion as styles change. As a garden is a living thing, trees grow to maturity, plants flower and change with the seasons, when maintained, an outdoor space and garden will get better as time goes on!

More time at home, than ever before

The global COVID-19 pandemic has seen strong responses from governments with the clear message to Australian’s to work form home, isolate at home with our families and to practice social distancing when we do need to leave the home for essentials.  With the prospects of so many families homebound during isolation, a new trend has emerged – its called work on home and involves improving the home with all of those wish list or overdue projects!

The long term social impact of COVID-19 is yet to be determined but it is clear that we are spending more time at home than ever before, finding comfort in the privacy of our homes. With work done to enhance homes and gardens during the lockdowns, the appetite for Australians to entertain at home in backyards they are proud to show off is likely to continue for some time. Adbri Masonry have all the backyard ideas and renovation tools you need to make sure your home isn’t the only one in the street without a facelift post COVID.

Entertain from the comfort and safety of your own home

Investing in an outdoor room gives you another space to spend time with family and friends, when made functional so it can be used year-round, day and night, it really is like adding an entire new room to your house.  The best part about being in the backyard is being outside and able to enjoy a private paradise in the comfort, safety and privacy of your own home.  These areas will transform the way you use your outdoor spaces.  With a good entertaining area, there’s always a reason to be outside; from booking to alfresco dining under the stars or simply socialising with family and friends, a new space will ensure you’re able to enjoy the best of our year round climate in the safety of your own home.
