Which is best bang for buck for resale value

[mark_k]

I am looking to either redo my deck and make it bigger or installing a lawn sprinkler system. Which project would be a better recouping cost when I go to sell the house? I plan on staying in the house for about 5 years. Thank you

By making the deck as comfortable as any another room in the home, with furniture, a hot tub and lighting, you're definitely increasing the square footage as well as the value.Moreover, composite decking is virtually maintenance free. On other hand, water feature is a great looking addition to a yard but it can be a little intimidating to a future homebuyer.
