Creating more living space without the breaking the bank is on the wish list of many homeowners, and upgrading your outdoor space is one way to do it. “An outdoor ‘room’ is the second most important room in the house, second to the kitchen,” says Kevin Guzior, vice president of marketing & product development at Pioneer Landscape Centers. For decks, expect to spend an average $9,000 to $24,000, depending on if you use composite or wood, while a concrete patio averages between $2,000 and $12,000 depending on poured pad or pavers used, Guzior says. A deck or patio will add about 80 percent for resale value and hours of enjoyment.
