Planning a new outdoor living project can feel overwhelming if you don’t have a clear direction on how to start.
At Belgard, we don’t just make industry-leading paver and wall products. We help homeowners achieve their outdoor living dreams every step of the way.
Many homeowners know they want a new patio, walkway or outdoor gathering space, but they are unsure how the process works or what decisions come first.
That’s why we created an outdoor living project guide to simplify the process and help alleviate any stress you may have. It will give you a clear path forward, so you can confidently build a plan that fits your home’s aesthetic, lifestyle and, of course, budget.
Here’s a simple overview of the process:
It starts with RESEARCH. Don’t let that word scare you. It’s actually a really fun part of the process where you simply gather inspiration. In addition to finding a ton of creative projects on our website, you can use platforms like Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok.
The next stage is PLANNING, which will help bring structure to your ideas. This includes choosing the right contractor, establishing a realistic budget and creating a timeline. For help finding a Belgard Authorized Contractor, use the search tool on our website.
The final stage is the BUILD. Knowing what to expect before, during and after installation helps eliminate surprises and ensures the finished project meets your expectations. With the right guidance, planning an outdoor living project becomes a collaborative process instead of a guessing game, setting the stage for a successful spring build.
