Been missing that special something for your home? Want to enjoy your backyard more? COVIS has the answer for you for 2023!
Let the new year whisk you away in creating an amazing outdoor custom patio. Revamp your backyard with options like a firepit, fireplace, grill island, sitting walls, outdoor kitchen and so much more. Everything you’d need to entertain friends and family for any occasion.
COVIS, your trusted local Haymarket patio builder, is happy to help you design your new patio with the very latest options in mind.
Here are some of our favorite ways to improve your backyard:
- Space and Layout: The number one determining factor in your new patio is the space you want to build on. How much of your back (or front) yard do you want to have pavers laid over, and what are the design constraints? Do you have trees, slope, or other features that should be preserved?
- Safety: Depending on what you plan to use your patio for, will help you decide on paver style and size. Do you plan to use it for entertaining? Will children be playing on it? If you expect heavy foot traffic? If so, you’ll want to pick something smooth and interlocking that won’t trip your guests up. Similarly, avoid super-slippery surfaces like concrete or polished stone.
- Retaining/Sitting Walls: Retaining or sitting walls are a great way to add depth and dimension to your patio. Having multiple levels can highlight certain areas of your patio.
- Stone Variety: Mixing the style, type, color and size of the paver stones can be a fantastic way to add even more uniqueness to your patio design. Some homeowners choose circular patterns, whereas others like an squares and rectangles, and some like a mix of both.
- Lighting: No one wants a patio they just enjoy during the day. You’ll want to be out relaxing in those comfy, cooler evenings just as much. Consider lighting placement and voltage you’re your design to either add function for walking paths or steps, or to accent something unique like a grill island or column.
- Consider the Entire Backyard: Depending on your family and garden situation, some homeowners take the opportunity to create elegant paver walkways to playhouses and driveways, or cordon off areas to keep critters away from your vegetable gardens.
