Design Your Patio or Deck
Patios and decks are a great way to beautify your home. They also add extra living space without costing you the time and expense of building an addition to your home. When you are planning your outdoor living space, consider its intended use as well as the aesthetics of the space. Are you creating a space for entertaining then you may want to consider adding a built in fire pit (gas or wood burning), built in seating or maybe an outdoor kitchen. If you are thinking more of a small intimate space for small groups think about connecting the space more directly into your landscaping, maybe incorporating trees or flowerbeds into the overall patio design.
Thing to consider when planning your patio and deck design
- Measure your available space
- Consider any items such as landscaping and irrigation systems that may need to be relocated or adjusted.
- Identify the traffic patterns, in and out of your home and throughout the patio and deck space. Plan on keeping high traffic areas clear.
- Keep in mind your future landscaping, irrigation and lighting wishes. It may be easier to run lines or cables while your deck/patio is being built as opposed to after.
- Determine what feature you want included in your outdoor living space both built in or purchased, such as:
- Fire Pit
- Bar
- Kitchen
- Grill
- Fountain
- Table & Chairs
- Seating
- Step
