Hardscape versus Deck

 

We are in the process of fixing up our house which we plan to sell this year (2015). We have a deck that needs to be replaced. Replaced with a new patio. So, we are in the process of getting bids on Decks and Hardscapes. One question is, will we recover our cost? And which has the best return on Equity?

Below is an example of a deck (all cedar with some aluminum post for the rail) and my plans for our deck. Cost for our Cedar deck is running around $7k and with TimberTech and Composite railings is $10k. Is it worth the 3k difference? BTW, I estimated a new deck would cost between $5-$6k. We still have two more bids left.

What about Hardscapes aka pavers? We like this design with the sitting wall and pavers. Unfortunately a retaining wall is also needed due to our sloping land. We’ve gotten two bids in so far for $14.3k and $13.2k. This is looking to be A LOT more expensive than the Deck. We have one more bid we are waiting on.

We both like the hardscapes and I do not want to do all that work myself. However at the additional $5k (so far) there is no way we will go that route. That extra money will go to our flooring project.

We’ll wait until all bids are in to pass judgement and make a decision. Plus we still need to remove our old deck (saves us $500). We’ll do removal in February and have new deck (likely) installed in March.
