The backyard is a perfect place to hang out with friends and loved ones. However, if you don’t have a designated place to gather, it can quickly become uncomfortable. Installing a beautiful backyard patio will give your family and guests a comfortable place to spend the evening while you enjoy the weather. If you’re thinking about hiring concrete contractors to build a patio or updating a poorly maintained gathering area, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are a few simple and tasteful ideas to bring your patio to the next level.

3 Patio Ideas to Discuss With Your Concrete Contractors

1. A Dedicated Dining Area

Expand your living space by installing an outdoor dining area. All you need is an outdoor dining set, lighting, and a concrete patio to make the area feel polished and comfortable. When working with your concrete contractors, make the patio itself as easy to clean as possible Use stained and colored concrete in a smooth slab and any food residue or spills will be easy to rinse away with the hose.

2. Outdoor Fire Pit

Give your family the gift of a campfire anytime they feel like enjoying the crackle and warmth. With some quality ready-mix concrete and the right concrete tools, you’ll be able to create a beautiful outdoor fire pit right on the patio. Consider using concrete to add seating or build covered wood storage next to the fire pit. This way, you’ll always have dry wood on hand.

3. Add Dimension With Pavers

Your patio doesn’t have to be made up of a single concrete slab. In fact, many homeowners enjoy the look and feel of a tile-like patio. Use large concrete pavers and separate them with pea gravel to create a unique look designed to stand out from the rest of your backyard. This is ideal if you already have a small concrete patio right against the back of the house that you wish to expand.
