Make the Most of Leisure Time in Hartville, OH, With Decks, Patios and More

When You Already Have a Deck and Want to Expand

If you enjoy entertaining outdoors, you may find you’ve outgrown your deck! Adding a second outdoor living structure to your existing deck gives your guests plenty of room to move around and mingle. Enlarging your outdoor living space also allows you to set up different zones with a dining table in one area and lounging furniture in another.

We don’t have a standard, one-size-fits-all recommendation for homeowners who want to expand beyond a basic deck. Your design depends on how you want to use your outdoor living space. At Archadeck of Akron, we believe every family is unique and every home is unique. That’s why the outdoor living areas we build are custom-designed for each client’s home.

We’re Also Your Hartville, OH, Patio Builder!

Some homeowners think of patios as alternatives to decks, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Decks and patios just feel different, and many of our Hartville clients enjoy having a deck with steps leading to an adjacent patio. The way you furnish these two “outdoor rooms” determines how they’ll be used. You can design the patio to serve as an extension of your deck – or not! It’s up to you.

When you’re exploring patio possibilities, look to Archadeck of Akron for guidance with regard to size, shape and materials for your custom Hartville patio. We can show you pavers, bricks and stone options for your patio surface. You’ll want to consider retaining walls and bench seating – and everyone’s favorite, the fire pit. If you’re undecided about adding a fire feature to your patio at this time, we can design it with enough space in one section to add a fire pit later. We can also design your patio so you have adjacent space for a custom outdoor fireplace in the future. Fun!!

Screened Porch or Open Porch? Let Your Hartville Porch Designer Help You Decide!

Stark County homeowners value porches because of the protection they provide. A covered porch offers refuge from rain and the sun’s harmful UV rays. A covered porch also offers a place to hang lights and a ceiling fan. Sometimes stirring up the breeze is all you need to create the perfect outdoor spot on a warm day.

If you have mosquitoes or other insects in the summer, a screened porch can provide additional protection. When you need screens on your porch, you REALLY need them. Let us show you the types of screening you can consider for your screened porch. Some screens are sturdier and less likely to be damaged by rambunctious children or pets. Some screens offer extra protection from glare, and some provide more privacy than others. Archadeck of Akron is your best resource when it comes to screened porch designs!

The Combination Outdoor Living Space

“Combination” is the term we use when a homeowner wants two or more outdoor living structures designed to work together. In our design consultation we’ll look at how traffic – family and guests – will flow from area one to the other for the best use of space. A combination outdoor living space could be a deck with adjoining patio, a porch leading to a deck or patio or all three of these structures together. Don’t forget to consider amenities such as a fire pit, outdoor fireplace or pergola. You can mix and match any or all of these structures to create the perfect outdoor space for your family. Archadeck of Akron is standing ready to help you make the most of the outdoor space at your home.
