How to Design a Patio

Creating an outdoor living area is a fun and lasting way to customize your home. An outdoor patio can complement your property with additional entertainment, dining, and seating areas. However, designing a comfortable and beautiful space does not necessarily require a professional. Keeping a few considerations in mind, planning your own patio space is easier than you might think.

Assessing the Space

1. Research the rules and permissions needed for building a patio. 
2. Decide how you will use the patio. 
3. Choose the location of your space.
4. Size the space and draw a plan.

Choosing the Materials

1. Think about what materials you want to use. 
2. Be aware of your budget.
3. Decide whether you want to hire someone to lay your patio or if you want to do it yourself.
4. Consider waterproofing your patio.

Adding Landscape and Furnishings

1. Plan if and where you want plants and landscaping. 
2. Consider the furniture and accessories you want to add. 
3. Pay attention to whether your patio will be in a shady part of your yard or a sunny one. 
4. Think about the usage of the space.
