Have you ever looked over your backyard and sighed? Ever imagined a dramatically different outdoor space? Ever wished for an area ideal for relaxation and entertaining? Adding appropriate features to your space can make you fall in love with your patio and turn it into an area that you love to use.
Fall in Love with Your Patio in Every Season
Patio aesthetics are successful when they start with the right foundation. Get the groundwork in place to create comfort and enjoyment in your outdoor space with these hardscaping features and build your patio into a place you love every season.
- Places to sit. The best part about a patio is having solid ground under you and perching in your favorite spot to enjoy the sun, the night, or look upon your property. Built-in stair seating creates an area meant for many people. If your space is smaller, seat walls are a place to park yourself while serving as a separation for varying activities.
- Areas to gather. If you want a patio that lets you spend time with loved ones and enjoy meals together, designated gathering areas expand the space naturally, allowing for conversation and meal-making. A personalized outdoor kitchen can include a bar, stovetop, fridge, and prep area, for hosting gatherings. A fire pit or fireplace offers a casual feel and makes it easy to gather to enjoy each other’s company and warm up.
- Guiding lights. Hosting outdoor activities on your patio after dark requires guiding lights to ensure people can find their way without difficulty. Carefully rendered stairs and pathways on patios built from scratch through complete design and construction are designed to include illumination. The right lighting makes an outdoor space simultaneously cozy and sophisticated, while serving a practical purpose.
- Clever expansions. For homes that have a deck but not a patio, it may seem redundant to add the latter to your outdoor space, but decks and patios have different vibes. A carefully incorporated patio lets you be one with the yard, easily access backyard elements, and create space for living and entertaining that a deck alone cannot provide. Adding a patio near your pool, along with thoughtfully situated pool decking, creates an area of safety and beauty.
- Soothing installations. Water features placed alongside your patio or situated nearby give off textural and auditory perks. Installations like streams, bubblers, waterwalls, and ponds provide soft background music that can help anyone relax on your patio.
