Patio Planning – Your Outdoor Living Space
Patio de Cordoba *
Building a patio will help you take full advantage of the warm weather and beautiful landscape of your yard. Going back centuries in early architecture, a space to enjoy the outdoors was a regular home feature. Called patios in Spanish architecture or atriums in Roman architecture, these important out door spaces allow both privacy and a place to enjoy the company of others.
Still an inviting home feature today, there are many advantages patios offer homeowners that contribute to both the quality of your home and the quality of your life there. Long gone are the days of simply sitting on the patio. Outdoor kitchens, bars, fire pits, hot tubs, and cozy furniture are the extras that can work to make your outdoor living space into a fully functional room for lounging, entertaining, cooking, and more.
A Place to Unwind
Patios add comfort to your home. It’s peaceful to step out the back door to relax on the patio. Comfortable furniture or a hammock is all you might need to enjoy a good book with a glass of wine.
A Space for Entertaining
Whether having a simple family BBQ or an outdoor summer bash, your patio has great entertaining potential. The entertainment factor is one of the most defining reasons why most people build patios. With a bit of lighting, your patio is set to go in daytime and after the sun goes down.
Adding Value to Your Home
This is one of the fringe benefits to adding a patio. Whether your home is your primary residence or a weekend getaway, the allure of an outdoor living space is strong when people come to look at a home for purchase.
There are advantages to building a patio instead of a porch or deck. Whether you choose stone, concrete, pavers, or brick, there’s minimal maintenance required to keep up your patio’s beauty. And the durability of these materials mean your patio will stand up to changing weather, lots of use, and time.
