Bring Nature into Your Backyard!
Patios and Gathering
Spaces
Patios and other gathering spaces are usually the focal point for activity in your backyard. Consider their design and look and nearby placement other features like shade structures, pergolas, indoor kitchens, fire pits, and kivas. If you have enough space in your yard, consider having two or three spaces for different purposes. For instance, small remote patios may allow a separate private gathering space or a secluded location to relax and read. See our Hardscaping Ideas page for other elements for you might add in and around your patio or other gathering space. Patios and Gathering Spaces Ideas
Patio Surfaces You should consider choosing the type of surface for your patio based upon what you will enjoy, how it matches the style of your home, and the feel you’d like to give to that space. We can advise you on options when we meet and view your yard. Here are a few ideas. • Gray concrete patios are quite common. If you’d like to use concrete, consider adding style with borders of brick or pavers and inlay designs. Another option is colored concrete. • Pavers add a very warm and relaxed feeling to a patio. Although paver patios may cost two to three times that of concrete, this cost is negligible over the time you’ll get to enjoy a more appealing space. Paver surfaces are also easier to repair than concrete. • Flagstone ads a natural outdoors feeling to a patio space. There are multiple options for installation. Flagstone surfaces can cost three to four times that of concrete alone, but this cost is also negligable over the time you’ll get to enjoy a more custom space. Decks Decks are a form of patio raised off the ground by a small or large distance that create their own isolated space, often with a unique view of the backyard or surrounding area. Many decks have surrounding fencing or benches. They can be created with wood (often redwood), artificial wood such as Trex, composite wood, treated timbers, and sometimes concrete. Mountain Paradise can help you see where decks might fit into your hardscaping design. Patio Shading and Framing You may want to provide shading for your patio. You may also wish to frame the patio space to provide privacy or a more intimate feeling. Shade structures can be next to your home or stand-alone. They provide protection from the sun and rain. Mountain Paradise can construct a variety of custom structures for your yard. Take a look in our galleries. Talk to us about ideas when we visit your yard. Sometimes patios and gathering spaces can benefit from privacy from other parts of your yard or outside your yard. Putting up short wall segments can frame and add privacy to patios. A pergola can be installed over a patio to add the feeling of a more intimate space without completely blocking the sun and sky.
