Landscaping is a key feature of a home; it’s usually the first thing people notice when they arrive, and well-designed landscaping can make a house inviting and draw people into the homey space.

You can create additional living areas in your outdoor space by having multi-level decks built. This makes use of the vertical space by building up rather than out. You could have an outdoor kitchen area on the top tier of the deck, an outdoor living room on the second tier of the deck, and perhaps a pool deck near your inground pool on the lower level deck.
