Want to upgrade your deck but watching your budget? Here are easy deck makeover ideas, many well under $300.
#1 Install a Stone Landing at the Foot of Your Deck Stairs
Dress up the transition from your deck to your yard with a little hardscaping — a stone landing at the bottom of your deck stairs. Stones are a natural compliment to wood decks, and they’ll help prevent mud from forming where there’s heavy foot traffic.
#2 Put Up a Privacy Screen
Whether you’re relaxing alone au naturel or entertaining friends, a little home privacy is always welcome. You can add some vertical supports and fill in a variety of cool screening materials that are as nice for your neighbors to look at as they are for you.
#3 Add Solar Lighting
Add lighting to your deck if you’re wanting your deck to come alive after dark. Try solar lights: you don’t need an on/off switch — they light up when it gets dark, then fade away 4-6 hours later.
