HIGH-ROI OUTDOOR LIVING COMPONENTS Does Your Lawn
Homeowners looking to get great returns on outdoor living investments
can consider prized improvements that transform exterior living spaces.
patios may use the same stone levels
and lines as the interior of the home.
• Outdoor kitchens: HGTV says an
outdoor kitchen ROI can range from
55 percent to 200 percent, depending
on the location and comparable
homes in the area. High-value versions
include built-in grills, weather
resistant cabinetry, and stone prep
areas.
• Climate-controlled pergolas:
Pergolas on their own can add interest
and function to outdoor spaces.
Those that feature motorized louvers
that adjust for sun and rain have become
a luxury essential for many
homeowners. They help extend the
usability of outdoor spaces during
various seasons.
• Smart lighting systems: Integrated
systems with LED lights controlled
by apps are now major selling points
for homes. These systems improve security
and curb appeal at night. According
to Urban Oasis Contracting,
outdoor lighting doesn't just show a
space, but also transforms it. Adding
carefully placed lights can redefine
the property in distinct ways.
• Softscaping improvements:
Mature trees can add character to
a property and also reduce cooling
costs via natural shade. Landscapes
that require low irrigation are outperforming
traditional lawns, according
to Organic Valley.

Outdoor living has become
a coveted feature for many
homeowners and those looking
to buy. In 2026, landscape architecture
has shifted from something
that is purely ornamental to features
that are functional and resilient. The
American Society of Landscape
Architects says a professionally designed
landscape can increase a
home's value by anywhere from 15 to
20 percent. Some projects can yield
a return on investment of even more -
even recuperating the entire cost.
Where is a homeowner to start when
it comes to maximizing the potential
of a landscape? These projects and
components can be a good place to
start.

patio can offer a great ROI. These
