Must-See Outdoor Entertainment Patio Area – Before & After
When we initially met with this Maryland homeowner, we went to talk about their basement. That transitioned into discussing their backyard. They had considered doing a small patio but, upon further discussion, decided to go with a large outdoor entertainment patio area. Since they had plenty of real estate in their backyard, it really would take advantage of the space. And when you have a large area like this, why not make the most of it?
Changing The Big Barren Backyard
It’s not uncommon for newer homes to have large backyards with no landscaping. This is intentional. Many homeowners want different things. Some want gardens, and others might want a deck or maybe even a pool. However, more often than not, the best investment is a patio. Why? You can always add a garden or landscaping. A deck has to be replaced eventually and has more maintenance, like a pool. And the costs of a patio are typically lower than comparable options. For this backyard, the possibilities were endless.
Ultimately, the homeowner decided to include the following:
+ Paver patio approx. 1300 sq. ft. with corner knee wall.
+ Bump out with wood burning fire pit with knee wall.
+ 12×12 pergola with stone column base and knee wall.
+ Paver pad for generator and connecting walkways.
Not everyone wants to know all the gritty details. However, some homeowners like seeing pictures and saying that is what they want their patio to look like. So, for those of you curious, here are the materials we used:
+ Paver Patio: Nicolock Holland Stone, Westchester Blend
+ Patio Border: Inlay Style Border, Rustico 6×6
+ Pergola: White Shoreline Vinyl with Veneer Stone & Cinder Block Base Columns
This also included eight stair lights, eight wall lights, and 2 column lights. Electrical installation was needed for these.
