Are Patio Covers Worth It? Here’s What Our Customers Say!

If you’re on the fence about adding a patio cover, it might help to hear from those who’ve already made the choice. At The Backyard Life, we believe a well-designed patio cover can transform your backyard, extending your living space and providing the perfect place for year-round outdoor enjoyment. But don’t just take our word for it—check out these experiences from some of our recent customers who are loving their new backyard spaces:

Jennifer G. couldn’t be happier with her project and the process: “I can’t say enough good about my experience with The Backyard Life. Especially the installers Joshua and Alex—they were great communicators, easy to work with, and even finished my project early so I could return to my primary residence. Plus, the quality is impressive, and it turned out so good!”

For Craig A., it was the team’s problem-solving ability and attention to detail that really stood out, even with a difficult project. “Collins, Davin, Jon, Bryan, Logan, and the entire team were a pleasure to work with. The install crew, led by Bryan, was outstanding. It was hot, but they never complained. The job required additional craftsmanship, and they delivered. The Backyard Life figured it out with grace and grit, and our backyard is beautiful! We’ll choose them for our next project!”

Rob H. shared how our team brought his vision to life from the very first conversation to the installation: “Tom, Bryan, and the entire crew were great to work with, from concept and design with Tom to Bryan’s installation. Everything went as expected, just in time to enjoy our new pergola and patio as the temperatures drop here in St. George.”

And Sadie W. appreciated the team’s reliability and dedication to keeping her informed along the way: “The Backyard Life was amazing and did a great job! Some of the materials needed to be ordered, and they kept me informed throughout the whole process. Chaz, the main installer, was fabulous to work with, answering any questions I had and working quickly and efficiently. Before leaving, he went over everything to make sure I was satisfied. They left the area spotless, and I’m so happy with the results!”

Shade Solutions: Awnings in Sunny St. George

Welcome to The Backyard Life, where we explore shade solutions tailored for the sunny paradise of St. George, Utah. As residents of this beautiful city, we understand the importance of staying cool and protected from the intense desert sun. In this article, we’ll delve into the benefits of awnings in St. George and how they can enhance your outdoor living experience.

1. Embracing St. George’s Sunshine:

St. George is renowned for its abundant sunshine, with over 300 days of sunshine per year. While this brings joy to outdoor enthusiasts, it also poses challenges, especially during the scorching summer months. Awnings offer a stylish and practical solution to combat the heat, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces comfortably.

2. Protection from UV Radiation:

The sun’s UV rays can be harmful to both your health and your property. Awnings provide an effective barrier, reducing UV exposure and protecting your skin, furniture, and flooring from fading or damage. With the right awning, you can create shaded areas where you can relax, entertain, and unwind without worrying about sunburn or heat exhaustion.

3. Enhancing Outdoor Living Spaces:

St. George’s stunning landscapes and mild winters encourage outdoor living year-round. Awnings extend your living space outdoors, creating inviting areas for dining, lounging, or hosting gatherings. Whether you have a patio, deck, or garden, awnings add versatility and charm to your outdoor environment, making it more functional and enjoyable for you and your loved ones.

4. Customized Solutions for St. George Homes:

At The Awning Company, we understand the unique needs of St. George homeowners. Our awnings are designed to withstand the desert climate while complementing the aesthetics of your home. Whether you prefer retractable awnings for flexibility or stationary awnings for permanent shade, we offer a wide range of styles, colors, and materials to suit your preferences and budget.

5. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings:

In addition to providing shade and protection, awnings can help you save on energy costs. By reducing direct sunlight and heat gain through windows and doors, awnings minimize the need for air conditioning, resulting in lower utility bills. With rising energy prices, investing in awnings is not only environmentally friendly but also financially savvy, offering long-term savings for St. George homeowners.

Conclusion:

As you bask in the sunshine of St. George, remember the importance of staying shaded and protected.
