Are you ready to redesign your brick patio in Natick, MA? Here are three ideas to give you some inspiration.
Create a Brick “Area Rug”
The purpose of an area rug is to differentiate a section of a room from the rest of the space. While you can get outdoor rugs for your patio, a more creative way is to do it with brick. If you use your patio as an outdoor dining area, build an “area rug” into the patio with pricks or pavers of a different color. It has the same effect as putting down an area rug but without the extra cleaning and care.
Add Central Planting Beds
Bring your patio and landscaping together by building planting beds into the middle of your patio. The little islands of greenery or flowers will break up the continuous surface of bricks or patio pavers. Depending on the size and shape of your patio, you can build one big planter in the middle, anchor the corners with small planters, or scatter them to create a natural and random effect.
Go Beyond Rectangles
Most patios are square or rectangular, but there’s no rule that says you have to stick with those shapes. Circular patios are a great alternative to square layouts, and you can build them around a central feature, such as a seating area, planter, or firepit. If you’d prefer to go beyond uniform shapes, a kidney-shaped patio is a simple design that stands out from basic rectangles. Extend your patio into your landscaping with paths that wend through your trees, shrubs, gardens, and other landscape features.
