Patio Ideas

* Leverage Shade. Have a large shade tree? Why not consider building your patio under its canopy? You’ll enjoy the cool, shady retreat in the heat of summer. Add Cover with a Pergola.

* Throw down a Rug. There are numerous high-quality, weather-resistant rugs for use outdoors. They come in a variety of colors and styles.

* Build a Fire Pit. Gather around the fire with the kids late at night. Fire pits can be made from anything from flagstone slabs to small boulders. Fire pits allow for friends and family to gather around the feature, creating an environment that is warm and allows for conversation to flow all directions.
* Create a patio with curving edges to add character and a sense of informality to an outdoor living area. Curves can be more relaxing and visually appealing than straight lines.
