Patio Builder

Patios provide a useful space for congregating in your garden. Flagstone, pavers, and brick paver are some of the common materials used for patio landscaping. Concrete surfaces may range from simple broom finish and exposed aggregate to some of the new types of decorative stained or stamped concrete finishes.

It's important that the design and construction of your patio takes into account the environment in which it's being placed. Soil type and underground conditions that could potentially have a long term effect must be considered when designing and constructing these landscape structures.

Adding planter pots, benches, patio furniture, water features, outdoor kitchens, BBQ and fire pits are some patio landscaping ideas that can help turn your patio into a "room" within the garden.

Landscape Walkway Design

Walkways give you access through a garden. Whether an informal gravel or decomposed granite landscape walkway guiding you down a sloping hillside, or a formal brick, or tile and mosaic walkway design, the type of walkway you choose should complement the overall design of your yard.

Some examples of the types of materials for your walkway design include brick, flagstone, exposed aggregate, or stamped concrete. For a walkway with expansive soils where a rigid structure is likely to crack, decomposed granite with natural stone insets might be used so that the landscape walkway can be graded again when movement has occurred.
