Free Patio Designs Boosts Home Values In Struggling Housing Crisis
www.greatlandscapingideas.com is the online leader in providing practical home improvement and landscaping advice for do-it-yourself homeowners wanting to fix and improve their homes for any situation.
Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) May 2, 2009 -- The recently renovated home landscaping and gardening website http://www.greatlandscapingideas.com announced today the grand opening of their new custom patio designs department for home owners on a limited budget. John Voight, President and Director of Public Relations says "as the leading authority and premier website on landscaping and home improvement projects, GreatLandscapingIdeas.com continues to provide free premium content and information to visitors who are short on time and even shorter on ideas."
Create Beautiful Backyard Patios!
Their new addition of free patio designs provides a valuable resource and service to homeowners, offering them the opportunity to use custom patio plans to build professional patios at a fraction of the cost contractors normally charge.
The website administrators pride themselves in always giving complete resources of step-by-step, do-it-yourself projects to homeowners wanting to learn lawn and garden landscaping, and their new Patio Design department carries this same tradition. The company provides more than the typical how-to patio instructions to visitors by using in-depth designs, blueprints, explanations, tools and videos to ensure homeowners have everything they need to complete their home patio project without paying outrageous prices on building contractors or labor costs.
"You don't need to search all over the place trying to figure out how to accomplish some necessary step or construction detail," Voight emphasized. "As luck would have it, whatever you're trying to figure out is most often one (or more) of the key ingredients in making your project work. And without that critical information, you can't possible get the job done right. But that's where we come in!"
According to a Home and Garden financial report, converting a side lawn into a brick patio costs homeowners an average of $3,500, while other references cite having a concrete slab the size of 80'x20' professionally installed costs between $4,000-$6,000; and having a 10'x20' bluestone or flagstone patio designs installed costs upwards of $3,500 while it typically costs around $20,000 for an 80x20 area. On the other hand, a do-it-yourself project usually costs on average, around $700.
Voight adds, "The overall goal of giving away our free patio designs is to prevent homeowners from having to hire a local handyman or contractor while at the same time showing them how to easily build a beautiful dream patio without spending a fortune. It puts money back in their pocket and increases the value of their home during stagnant housing markets."
The Custom Patio Designs area of the website is set up to provide homeowners all the necessary ingredients to build a professional looking patio in one convenient location without paying for expensive deign software or blueprints. "The only thing you need to provide are materials and labor for an outstanding result!" says Voight.
Some of the How to Instructions include Establishing Ground Layout, Prepping ground for concrete, Prepping ground for pavers, Installing pavers over sand, Installing tiles over concrete, cutting pavers and tile, pouring post footers, and more. A few examples of How-to Videos include: Trowel technique, power concrete finisher, finishing concrete with a Fresno, putting a broom finish on concrete, tamping cement, control joints, brick laying, laying pavers, and more.
One of the most notable components of the website is the segment that presents 20 different custom patio designs already created to suit the individual needs of the homeowner. These custom models don't just give homeowners an idea of what type of designs are available, but actually present a printable layout plan, a materials list, step-by-step easy to follow instructions, and very specific instructions for each individual task that takes the guesswork out of designing a do-it-yourself patio.
The website also includes definitions of terms related to patio design, illustrations of paver patio designs, patterns, and sizes as well as a marketplace that provides homeowners a direct link to manufacturers of hearths, mantels, and garden fountains.
"You'll want to bookmark our site and come back regularly," says Voight. Most people do!
