The surface you choose should reflect your home’s style well as your budget and maintenance needs.

Choose a stone to complement your house style.There are three types used here wall mounts at each door, path lights around the patio and uplights (which you can’t see) to illuminate the dogwood tree. Include different types of lighting around your patio.If a tree doesn’t work, a pergola can create a wonderful ceiling for an outdoor dining space. This will eventually create a beautiful canopy to the dining area, will provide shade, and will not grow into the house. In this case we planted a dogwood tree on the outside edge of the patio. Create a canopy or ceiling for your patio space.This creates a sense of enclosure and a more gentle transition to the lawn. Plants are best on the outside of the patio. This creates a clean transition (no mulch or dirt splattering up onto the house), space for pots, and does not interfere with the flow of steps. I like to have a patio go right up to the foundation of the house. Bluestone steppers connect the two spaces. A second patio (in the background) off a slider from the living room features lounge furniture. This home actually has two patios, this one off sliding doors from the kitchen features the owner’s grill and dining table.
