Size
Think about how many people will be regularly using your outdoor patio and plan accordingly. If you frequently host gatherings, you may need a more spacious patio. It is also helpful to consider existing outdoor furniture you have or plan to buy. What size outdoor patio will give you enough space for your furniture, and room to comfortably walk around?
Outline
Do you like circles, curves, or straight lines? Our patio pros help you consider what outline flows best with your property and any existing outdoor features you want to complement with your patio installation. Pro tip: It can be helpful to use your garden hose to try different ideas and layouts for your patio outline.
Custom Elements
Consider what elements you want to have on your patio, like a Custom Inlay Pattern or Pathway. You may even want a Border surrounding your patio with a Custom Seat-Wall. If you're wanting to maximize time spent outside, we recommend a Fire Feature, Covered Structure or even an Outdoor Kitchen!
