With better weather on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to make your outdoor space more functional, comfortable, and connected to how you live. At Evergreen Renovations & Roofing, we’ve helped homeowners across the Portland area transform decks, patios, and backyards into versatile extensions of the home. Here are a few outdoor design ideas that are resonating this season, along with inspiration from some favorite projects.
Framing the Landscape
Whether you’re surrounded by trees or looking out across the valley, the right deck design can help you feel immersed in your setting. Minimalist railing systems—like cable or glass—maintain the view, while composite decking offers clean lines and easy upkeep.
Creating Seamless Transitions
The best outdoor spaces feel like a natural extension of your interior—especially when they’re just a step away from the kitchen or living room. Large sliders or folding glass walls blur the boundaries between inside and out, making it easy to host, relax, or keep an eye on the kids.
Courtyard Comfort
Not all outdoor upgrades need a big footprint. Smaller courtyards can pack a lot of impact with thoughtful design: privacy plantings, fire features, and flexible seating zones help create a cozy, modern retreat.
Designed for Real Life
Outdoor spaces need to be more than pretty—they need to function in real life. We focus on durable materials, accessible pathways, and weather-conscious layouts that work year-round, whether you’re grilling dinner, working from the patio, or chasing a dog across the yard.
Planning Your Next Outdoor Project
Whether you’re starting with a blank slate or looking to upgrade an existing space, the right design can make all the difference. Our design-build team brings a collaborative, thoughtful approach to every project—tailored to how you want to live. Schedule a free design consultation today!
