Redesign My Patio

Patios are the bridge between indoor and outdoor living. The right paving, layout, and planting around the edges turn a slab of concrete into the most-used room in the house during half the year.

Pick a paving material that complements the house, not fights it. Size the patio for actual furniture, a dining table for six needs 14×14 feet to clear chairs. Soften every hard edge with planted beds, raised planters, or large pots. Built-in seating doubles as planting bed edges and is almost always worth the cost over loose furniture.

Patio garden design — frequently asked questions
