Father’s Day Gifts That Are Fit for a King
Father’s Day is the perfect time to treat your dad like a king. Our pops do plenty for us, so this is a chance to show some love with a token of appreciation. But what do you get for the man who has everything? Well, if a man’s home is his castle, then his yard must be his personal paradise. If that sounds like your dad, a great gift might be one that benefits his backyard bliss. Here are a handful of hints to help you celebrate Father’s Day this June.
Princely Pathways & Sidewalks
Gifting your dad a custom walkway would definitely be a hit this upcoming holiday. Concrete sidewalks add a touch of elegance while also boosting a property’s real estate value. Imagine your pop’s pride as he wanders along the new route to his deck, firepit, and/or garden. Buyers on a budget might prefer a pathway made of washed gravel or crushed limestone. Especially since both offer a long-lasting lane and require only a minimal amount of weeding.
For those craving custom designs, stepping-stone paths may be more appealing. Flagstone and sandstone are popular options, and landscaping around the edges or between stones can perfect the pathway. If you’re looking for a more personalized gift, use concrete for the stepping stones and imprint each family member’s foot- or handprints into them for a custom finish. For pathway installation in Maryland, Excel Fencing & Decking offers a range of solutions perfect for Father’s Day.
King-Sized Shade with Retractable Awnings
When it comes to Father’s Day gifts, a retractable awning is a wonderful notion for dads who love their decks. Whether he wants to have it made in the shade or would rather soak up some sun, the functionality of a retractable awning offers homeowners the best of both worlds. Your deck or patio will be the coolest place around, and it will make for a cooler home as well. Did you know solar heat gain can be reduced by 65 to 77 percent on south- or west-facing windows by employing an awning? You’ll also be able to enjoy your deck or patio more often since you won’t need to worry about the weather raining on cookouts, parties and other gatherings.
Stately Storage Solutions
If your dad is among those men who like their personal space, a storage shed may make the perfect present. A shed offers safe haven for all those things that clutter a garage or basement. Keep outdoor furniture and/or seasonal decorations out of sight and protected from weather, animals, and insects. Pack away power tools and keep garden chemicals out of the reach of curious kids. Liberate your lawnmower or tractor from the garage and enjoy easier access when it’s time to trim the lawn. Additionally, the extra space outdoors allows for organized collections of tools and hardware, while also providing a much-needed area to pursue hobbies or DIY projects.
