The Outdoor Living Contractor in Nashville TN movement is an indirect response to challenging recent (and current) economic conditions, which have people thinking about ways to invest their money that can increase the value of their homes while improving the quality of their lives. People are traveling less and, instead, turning to their own residences to create spaces that can be enjoyable and shared with loved ones. Not everyone can have a pool put in, but in light of recent design developments there are many options available for people with something less than wad of money to blow.
Portable spas are a more popular big ticket item than ever,Outdoor Living Areas Nashville with models that can be fit into tight spaces, or that are plug and play (meaning no installation is required and a normal electrical outlet will work). The gas fireplace is another hit, since many new units are clever pieces of art that can be set up nearly anywhere. A built in barbecue, a BBQ island, and even a complete outdoor kitchen have become such popular ideas they top the DIY (Do It Yourself) charts.
The two biggest reasons these items have become so fashionable are- a: because they make life at home a richer and more fulfilling experience, and- b: because every penny spent on these and other such items is an investment in the home that generally promises a return of at least as much as they initially cost. It is a perfect example of thrifty Americans having their cake and eating it too.
Some people are picking up the slack for others in the DIY movement, and making a business at doing the work for others less inclined to do so. Pool Tyme Custom Pools, Extreme Exteriors Garden Center, and Randy Glenn Landscaping are the names of three companies owned by Mikea and Randy Glenn, who have built these businesses in West Texas out of the growing market of helping other people to manifest their outdoor living fantasies. They take pride in assisting "people who have worked all their lives to have" those very things that they provide for them - an outdoor kitchen or gas fireplace, swimming pool, hot tub spa, patio furniture, and other items that can transform a simple lawn into a comfortable outdoor lounge or entertainment area.
They are part of a growing trend among homeowners and renters alike.
Other specialized fixtures include grottos, waterfalls, vanishing edges and any number of crafted design details that impart a sense of luxury. In Randy's words when a friend asked him to put in a whole landscape, "I said I could do it." That led to much more advanced level installations, and is exemplary of the DIY spirit that is catching on like a wildfire.
