Expand Your Living Space

Did you know the average lot size in the East Bay Area is 5,000 square feet with the average home size of 2,000 square feet? That is an extra 3,000 square feet of potential living space!

Redesigning your backyard is one of the most effective ways to expand the livable space of your property. By treating your back and front yards as an extension of your home, you can double or triple your living space. There are several ways to achieve the potential to create versatile spaces for relaxation, entertainment, growing food for your family, or beautiful works of art. Not only can this increase your livable footprint but it also increases your property value; a true win-win!

A well planned and executed outdoor design can improve the functionality of your space alongside the aesthetic appeal. Let your imagination run wild! If you were to redesign your backyard, what would you do? Perhaps it’s a covered outdoor dining area for year round use? You can achieve that with a custom pergola, and a concrete or paver patio. Do you prefer a more natural landscape with vegetables or fragrant flowers? A nice pathway with raised beds in an option. Or how about a low maintenance, hardscape design with an outdoor kitchen? The possibilities are endless.

By transforming your backyard into a multifunctional space, you also enhance your home’s versatility, adapting it to your evolving needs over time. Whether you have a growing family, enjoy hosting gatherings, or simply want a peaceful escape, a redesigned backyard offers endless possibilities. You can create dedicated zones for children’s play areas, install a home office in a quiet garden corner, or set up a space for outdoor workouts. This flexibility allows your home to grow with you, providing the adaptability that modern living requires, all while making the most of your East Bay lot size and climate.
