Seat Walls
Patios serve as the foundation for many outdoor living spaces. To maximize your space, whether large or small, consider expanding vertically with custom patio seat walls that provide stylish seating areas for family and guests to relax, dine, and entertain. Consult with the experts at Visionary Landscaping to transform your ideas into reality.
The Composition of Seat Walls
There is only so much outdoor furniture that can be added to a patio before it becomes cluttered, a tripping hazard, and unattractive. Built-in patio seat walls, however, are a permanent solution that doesn’t monopolize space and easily stands up to harsh weather, sun, and outdoor creatures.
This lasting addition to a patio performs multiple roles and works as a functional design element and useful location to get comfortable.
Seat walls do the following:
- Provide a place to sit.
- Define the space.
- Transition between outdoor spaces.
- Control yard slope.
- Add architectural interest.
Patio seat walls, typically crafted from stone or brick, are designed to integrate smoothly into patio layouts, seamlessly becoming a natural extension of your outdoor space. These walls are built low enough for comfort, offering easy seating without being so low that standing up becomes difficult or unsafe. Design elements such as columns can be incorporated into sections of the seating, while the top remains flat for a comfortable sitting experience.
Best Places to Build Seat Walls
Whether creating a new patio or enhancing an existing outdoor living area, patio seat walls are a top choice for homeowners. They offer a stylish and functional alternative to traditional chairs, allowing for more seating without compromising space. When expertly installed, these walls can blend seamlessly into the design, often making it hard to tell they double as seating. To make the space even more inviting, add pillows, cushions, plants, and natural elements for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
Here are some of the best ways to incorporate this type of hardscape seating into your patio:
- At the firepit: The majority of built-in firepits are circular, leaving room for chairs to be fitted in around the pit. Sometimes, though, the better choice is adding a circular or semi-circular patio seat wall around the pit, creating casual easy seating that’s close but not too close to the flame.
- Along the perimeter: Patios open on all sides are convenient for people and pets to make their way into the yard. However, one of the nicest places for patio seat walls is along the perimeter of your space. There is no need to box everyone in, but corner seating or walls along the longest sides deliver excellent spots to sit and hang out. The shape can be square, serpentine, circular, or whatever the area and your imagination allow.
- Beside the fireplace: Anyone who isn’t the chef in residence will enjoy permanent seating that extends from either side of a built-in or freestanding fireplace. Enjoy warmth and ambiance or lean against the sides of the fireplace for even more comfort.
- In the uneven yard: If you have a section of yard alongside the patio that is uneven or sloped, multi-tiered patio seat walls can be built into the space to make good use of it and help the odd landscaping of your yard disappear.
Upgrade Your Outdoor Space with Patio Seat Walls
Hardscape construction enhances outdoor living spaces with both beauty and functionality. A patio seat wall is a versatile addition that not only adds visual appeal but also provides practical seating that blends effortlessly into the overall patio design.
