Covered Patio
A covered patio can be just what you want for entertaining despite the weather. Even on a hot summer day, you can enjoy an outdoor dinner underneath your covered patio. Equipped with ceiling fans and a stonework bar, your guests can relax on the comfortable outdoor couches or sit at the bar as you mix their favorite drinks. Add in a TV and everyone can watch their favorite team play in the comfort of your covered patio area.
Courtyard Patio
If all you have is a courtyard space, a patio of large, irregular paving stones with spaces in-between, filled with tiny gravel, can be just what you need to make the most of your small area. An outdoor all-weather sectional sofa and coffee table can give you the outdoor time you crave. Finish with some outdoor lighting and large, colorful pots filled with seasonal flowers and it won’t matter that the space is small.
Pergola and Patio
When you cover your patio with a pergola and create a space that sits right outside of the doors to your living room, there will be no reason to stay inside. Choosing patio paving stones that complement your home’s architecture and exterior, you can plan a patio that runs the length of the back of your house. One end can be designated for dining while the other can hold a fire pit for warmth and delight on any evening. Cover the entire patio with a pergola that holds string lights and you have an outdoor space that will be the envy of your neighbors.
Multi-level Patio
Many landscapes are not level, but this presents no problem when you choose a multi-level patio. Each level of the patio can be home to different spaces. The closest level to the house can be for dining. The next level can be for relaxing by the fireplace in outdoor furniture with plenty of pillows and throws for snuggling up. Another level can be for accessing the lower level of the backyard where a bocce court or horseshoe game is set up.
Whether your property is large or small, a multi-level patio can provide both a pretty and finished appearance while giving you the functional space that you want.
Front Porch and Patio
At times a home can be built with a small entryway at the front, making the front door seem just the same as the other exterior doors. Reconfiguring the front yard to include a gorgeous stone patio that spans the entire front of the house while also enlarging the front entryway to make a dazzling statement can be just what your home needs to set it apart from the others. With outdoor furniture arranged in a cozy seating area, you can sit on your front patio in the evening and enjoy a favorite drink.
