PATIOS & FIREPITS
If you’re thinking about installing a new patio, or revamping an existing one, there are many options to choose from in terms of materials and design.
Material Selection – Patios can be constructed using a wide variety of materials, including concrete pavers, clay
bricks and natural stone. Each of these materials has its own benefits, and each can fit in with a variety of landscape styles.
Design Considerations – Once you’ve chosen the materials, it’s time to think about the design of your patio. Among the many points to consider are
• Location – Do you want your patio to be attached to your house, or would you prefer it to be a stand-alone element in your landscape? How much sun exposure do you want? Is the site you’ve chosen on even ground?
• Maintenance – A low-maintenance design that lends itself to easy cleaning will be ideal.
• Shape – Think beyond the square and rectangular designs of yesterday. A curved or geometric shape can add more visual appeal to your property and may lend itself to those tricky spots in your landscape.
• Shelter – Do you want to include a patio cover or awning for protection from the rain?
