Patios are an essential part of a home, providing the space to relax and unwind in your own backyard. They add value to a property and increase its resale value. They can also be used to host gatherings or a place to enjoy al fresco dining. Patios can be constructed with a variety of materials. While concrete and brick are the most common, pavers are also a popular choice. They offer an organic look and are extremely durable, with a lifespan of up to 25 years. Regardless of the material you choose, it’s important to keep in mind that the patio should complement your home and surrounding landscape. It should not stand out like a sore thumb.
Many clients opt to have their patio meet up against the house for aesthetic reasons, but we recommend putting it at least a few feet away from the home. This will allow for easier maneuvering of furniture and will protect the patio from rain or snow which can run directly off the roof and onto whatever is sitting on it.
Determining how big or small a patio will be is something that homeowners should take seriously and consider what they intend to use it for. Our designers will create a design that fits your needs down to the last detail. They will also provide advice regarding paving materials and any other landscaping elements you may need to accompany your patio. They can even use lawn-safe chalk to draw a preliminary outline of the patio on your yard so that you have an idea of what it will look like when finished.
