As Good As Grass editor:
Many astroturf and artificial grass consumers are aware of the financial benefits afforded by outdoor flooring products. Similarly, a new decking or concrete patio can also add value to your home.

Spring is the time for homeowners to begin considering outdoor renovations. According to HGTV, decks and patios can add value to any home. With summer around the corner, RenovatorsPlace.com suggests planning an exterior addition, such as new outdoor flooring to enhance your home's garden area.

According to the Home and Garden television network, a new deck or patio is one of the top 15 ways to add value to any home. RenovatorsPlace.com, an online interactive home repair resource, recommends exploring the advantages of a patio flooring addition this spring.

"Homeowners who want to add a patio this summer, should start planning now," said Allison Beatty, founder of RenovatorsPlace.com, a premier online home improvement and outdoor flooring resource. "The site has a great article, 'What Size and Shape For Your Patio?' - to help homeowners make important patio design decisions."

The article, "What Size and Shape for Your Patio," provides several helpful considerations such as, "how will the patio look in proportion to the house?" and creative suggestions like designing a kidney shaped porch to help "create a flowing design that highlights a nearby flower bed."

According to the Home and Garden television network, adding a pressure-treated wood deck to a home yields a recoup rate of 90 percent. In the western United States, the return reaches as high as 100 percent on deck and patio flooring additions.

The article, "Backyard Deck Offers Entertainment Options," suggests considering the backyard's terrain, area and future use of the porch or patio when designing the structure.
