A multi-level patio
Patio Plus advocates multi-level designs. The result will look less massive than a terrace perched in the air that will take over your yard, despite the fact that a multi-level patio takes up more space. If we lower the main level less than two feet from the ground, we can also lower the height of the railings. The patio will be more integrated into the garden and above all, you will have the feeling of a more private courtyard.
Available space
All obstacles such as trees, flowers, existing sidewalks, heat pump, windows, etc., must be well located to draw the patio to scale and avoid future surprises. It is important that the patio is proportional to the yard and the residence, so that the new terrace fits well with your property.
Patio users
The number and age of people living in the property is a significant factor. If the main users are elderly or disabled, avoid tiered patios to make it easier for them to move around. It will also be necessary to provide good solid ramps on the stairs to reassure users. If you host frequently, allow a little extra space. The compliments on the success of your new patio will be all the more abundant.
Patio Screening
It is desirable to have privacy in the comfort of your backyard. A screen or a tree strategically placed around the patio will isolate you well, without ruining the harmony of your property. These methods are also good for a heat pump, filter, an old shed, etc
Patio furniture
It is very important when creating the patio design to know how you will furnish it. What size of grill, table, chairs and how many flower pots will you install? For example, a patio table with four chairs will require a minimum of 10’ x 10' of free space and a table with six chairs will need 12' x 16' of space. Do not forget that a patio table is more of a focal point than an interior set. There is nothing more unpleasant than disturbing everyone to move around on the terrace!
All of these points will be taken into consideration during the evaluation.
