THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN WHEN

BUILDING A PROPER PATIO

A garden and perfect patio design is something any homeowner would desire for. When it comes to imparting authentic natural look to any house, the first thing that would come to the mind of any designer is a garden and a complimenting patio design. Garden is a cozy place that provides space to calm and relax. It creates a microclimate that particularly affects human health for good. No wonder, an addition of patio to any house almost instantly increases the overall value of the house. Indeed, a nice patio is a worthwhile investment. It has been observed that even during challenging economy, outdoor living options remain popular as people look for ways to add lasting values and add functional living space under the sky.

Irrespective of whether you are looking for do-it-yourself patio or hire a professional to do the job for you, the aesthetic value, usefulness, ease of maintenance and value plays a crucial role in decision making and planning for a patio. Building a proper patio can easily turn an empty backyard into an elaborate decorated outdoor feature.A patio not only provides a space for wining and dining, but makes the place much more appealing to live. Many people would just like to sit outside and sip some iced tea or lemonade, while for others, they find sense of peace, open space and freedom. Whatever be your take on building a comfortable and aesthetically appealing patio, you will find here how through simple planning, organizing and funds you can install a patio in your outdoor space and extend the square footage of livable space.

Planning

Planning before you start the project will help you better prepare for the process. For efficient planning you need to have some basic idea about creating the space. A patio in your landscape should add texture, color, depth and scale to your backyard. If is a small backyard, it won’t be wise to cover the entire space with a concrete patio. You would definitely like to have some space for greenery, don’t you? Plan your patio that is proportionally sized to your yard. No one would like to end up with a huge yard and a tiny patio or the other way around.

Location

Normally your patio should be located close to the entrance of the house, ideally close to where kitchen is located. In case you have thrown a BBQ party outside, people can easily have access to the kitchen, instead of requiring them to walk all the way through other rooms to reach it.

A patio should also be located strategically in a location that provides some level of privacy. You can enjoy the true benefit of your patio when you sit outside, relax, and enjoy a good meal, conversation or read a book without the feeling of being watched. From this point of view, backyards ideally makes a perfect place to build your patio.

Value

Buyers look for well build and well designed outdoor living. So this point should also be kept in mind if your intention is to create higher selling value for your home. If you are planning to add covering to your patio, it should be well built, maintained and should be aesthetically appealing. Some additional features like a fireplace, table, fire pit, creates an inviting outdoor focal point as well as functional spot for entertaining. By adding a grill, small bar,  you can transform your patio into a lounge for gatherings. A half circle seat wall or outdoor furniture with a fire pit or a table will give a very cozy look.

Retaining walls

Green or living wall is quickly gaining popularity these days. You can either take the advantage of Do-it-yourself plantable retaining wall system or hire a professional installer to add drama and beauty to the retaining walls. A wall of herbs near an outdoor grill area or a wall of flowers offers an eye-catching and eco-friendly use while at the same time serving as a retaining walls.

Lighting

Landscape Outdoor Lighting installation along the pathways will give a unified ambiance to your landscape. These lights not only make your patio look special, but they also help in keeping your home safe by highlighting sidewalk, paths, steps. They also add another lighting element to your overall design. Lighting around the edge of the gardens or amongst shrubbery is an excellent way to add a touch of artistic lights throughout your landscaped space. Yan can ask your landscape contractor about how you can use landscape lighting to your advantage to add beauty to your home at night and enhance its architectural features. This will add depth and interest in your patio and landscape. Clever use of lights can create soft highlights in trees and plants. Actually you can create a lovely patio perimeter using plants and low voltage lighting that will enhance overall beauty of your patio.

Materials

Materials will play big part in the construction cost, maintenance and the overall look of your area. When installing a patio you will have overwhelming choices, and this throws up a major challenge to choose material that make your area look as a natural extension of your home. The material you choose, should naturally compliment your home and the landscape. However if you are building a patio away from your home, select material that make your patio naturally blend into the landscape.. With so many products and materials out there home owners can easily become overwhelmed, concrete pavers are gaining popularity nowadays thanks to their vast choice when it comes to colors, shapes and textures, natural stone has and will continue to be the material of choice to offer that unique rich look to complement your home or business.Concrete pavers advantage over natural stone is basically the price, concrete pavers are manufactured as segmental units hence they can be installed faster than natural stone and more times than not the price is less, with many manufactures in the todays market finding the right product can be confussing, we at aztlan outdoor living reccoment Cambridge Pavingstones with armor tec is the only material we feel confident to pair along our 5 year transfarable warranty on labor, Cambridge ofers lifetime warranty on their products, stay with a major brand one able to offers warranty against salt damage, worse place to buy your materials would be the big box stores since their products offered there do not meet industry standards.

Maintenance

An outdoor patio build of natural stone or concrete pavers typically needs less maintenance, in fact for most part they are maintenance free. Paver stones will get some minor weed growth and will require to re-swept with sand every few years. You may feel the need to repoint the mortared flagstone surface at some point. A wooden deck will need more maintenance. A patio should be such that’s easy to maintain year round. If you are planning to use your patio for cooking or BBQ, choose material that resist spills and stains and can be easily cleaned. Patio maintenance is the subject that should be discussed with your landscape contractor even before you have it installed. Discuss maintenance issue with your landscape contractor and ask him what materials should be used that will make the maintenance easier at the later stage.
