Patio is a word derived from Spanish which means a paved outdoor area adjoining a house. Patios are constructed from stones, bricks or concrete. Stones generally used in constructing patios are limestone, sandstone and slate. Patios are landscaping designs that are categorized under hardscape. Hardscape is a term used to describe the non-plant material elements in a landscaped setting. There are a number of things you need to keep in mind when it comes to design patios activities. Here are some of these important points.
First, your patio should be designed to enhance the property. You should not clutter your patio with unnecessary adornments. Decorative items in your backyard or garden should be organized, bearing in mind the changing weather conditions. In addition, it is essential to consider the sun’s focal point, i.e. areas of your garden with direct sunlight.
You also need to decide on your patio’s focal point. The focal point can be anything from a flower bed, a fountain or even a statue. The important thing here is to highlight your patio’s focal point in such a manner that it catches the attention of observers. A pool can function as an excellent focal point within the garden for patios. Walkways and umbrellas around your pool can complement the beauty of these garden enhancement structures. Decorating and developing the area around your pool similar to a desert oasis can also be an inventive idea.
Lighting up your patio can be an exciting activity. It offers ample scope to display your creativeness. You can hang lights on trees or place lights in form of torches along paths and walkways. Another factor that should be given due importance is the patio cover. You should take into account the climatic conditions in your area when covering your patio with various elements like furniture. If you live in a tropical area, your patio should include provision for awnings and umbrellas. If you live in a temperature region, you may want to set up permanent covers such as corrugated roofs, because there’s always a chance of rain.
