Years ago in most cases patios were just slabs of concrete – the possibilities just weren’t there. Today however, no matter where you live, you can fashion a stylish patio garden that’s an intimate getaway right outside your back door. Create your own garden patio retreat.

You’re much more likely to spend time in a room if it includes elements you love, such as your favorite color or favorite painting. That goes for patios, too. Here are some tips for turning these outdoor living spots into a private home resort.

Garden Patio Ideas

• Imagine the purpose you want for your outdoor living space.  For relaxation?  As a family outdoor dining or sitting room?  Do you plan to entertain there? If so, how many people do you plan to accommodate?
• Use the architectural style as a basis. An outdoor retreat should complement your home’s architecture – not fight it. For example, a Southwest-style courtyard enhances an adobe home, while a formal English outdoor sitting room top suits a traditional style. Use colors from your house in your patio design to tie the spaces together.
• Extend the inside – outside. Pick colors, fabrics, and furniture styles you like inside your house and take them outside for a harmonious connection between the indoors and outdoors.
• Define the space. Structures help define a patio as a “room.” Adding an overhead structure gives the sense of a ceiling and the space a sense of privacy.
• Turn it into a focal point. A patio should grab your eye. Consider how you look out onto the terrace from the house and what you want to see from those windows
• Go shopping. Look around for pieces that capture your interest and compliment your patio. These pieces will make you patio your own.

A beautiful patio design can be as elaborate or as
straightforward as you want. Landscaping stone patios can be
arranged in any shape and size and can easily enrich the
exterior of your home.

More and more homeowners are looking for interesting and
innovative ways to create beautiful outdoor living spaces.
Outdoor entertaining is an increasingly popular way to enjoy
the company of family and friends!

The addition of even the simplest stone patio or walkway to the
exterior of a home often dramatically changes the way it looks
and the way you experience it. You can add distinction and
elegance to an outdoor landscape by choosing from an assortment
of weathered, textured or smooth landscaping stone pavers.
Paving stones allow you to design you own geometric design or
pattern.

You can complement the color of your home, or accent it, with
contrasting landscaping stones to enhance your home’s beauty.
There used to be few landscape product options, which resulted
in a more basic approach to the landscaping of your home. Now,
with the extensive array of pavers and landscape stone products
available, the results are more fulfilling.

Creating an outdoor landscaping stone patio can be a rewarding
and financially sound decision, adding more value to your home
and enjoyment to your life.
