Outdoor Living Spaces That Extend Your Home into Every Season
In New England, homeowners know the weather changes fast—but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your outdoor spaces year-round. With the right design, your deck, patio, or backyard can become a true extension of your home, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories in every season.
At Somma Builders, a trusted general contractor in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, we help homeowners create outdoor living areas that balance comfort, function, and style. Whether you’re in Boston, Newton, Cambridge, Lexington, or Woburn, here are some ideas to transform your outdoor space.
Spring: Fresh Starts with Outdoor Dining
Spring is the season for renewal. Adding a covered deck or screened-in porch allows you to enjoy the warmer weather while keeping pollen and rain at bay. Outdoor dining areas with durable furniture and weather-resistant lighting make spring evenings unforgettable.
Summer: Entertaining in Style
New England summers are short, so make the most of them! Consider:
Outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and storage
Pergolas or shade structures for hot days
Fire pits for late-night gatherings
These upgrades are especially popular in towns like Brookline, Belmont, and Concord, where entertaining friends and neighbors is part of the community lifestyle.
Fall: Cozy and Warm
As the air cools, outdoor spaces become even more inviting. Add features like:
Heated patios or radiant floor heating under stonework
Outdoor fireplaces for cozy nights
All-weather seating with warm throws
In places like Arlington, Andover, and Chelmsford, these additions allow homeowners to enjoy crisp fall evenings without retreating indoors.
Winter: Four-Season Living
Yes—even Massachusetts winters can be enjoyed outdoors with the right planning. Covered patios with infrared heaters, enclosed sunrooms, and hot tubs extend outdoor living into the snowiest months.
For homeowners in Newton, Weston, and Winchester, investing in winter-ready outdoor spaces makes entertaining and relaxation possible all year long.
