Patios

Outdoor Patio Eco Friendly DesignPatios are certainly a feature of sustainable landscapes.  Spending more time outside in nature, outdoor cooking, leisure and entertaining are all reasons for an outdoor room with a floor.

Design, sizing, materials and construction are all aspects of a properly built patio.  Many of the materials used to make patios consume a lot of energy in production, shipping and installation, so careful preparation is in order.

Things you can consider for your patio:

  • Placement – will if be easy to access and use?
  • Size – Many people are tempted to make patios too large to be comfortable.  What size do you need?
  • Shape – Do you need a certain shape for your property or use?
  • Materials – Do you need something flexible that can be taken up and changed?  Or would you like a continuous permanent material like concrete?
  • Budget – What is your budget?  Budget drives size and type of materials.
