Below are four reasons to have an outdoor patio.

Add separation to your backyard space

A premier outdoor space in Utah is a must. With beautiful landscape design, your home becomes the go-to for family and friend gatherings. Separation in an outdoor space is a must, especially with medium to large gatherings. Set up games on the lawn and protect the drinks and food with the use of a patio. This separation also allows for the rest of your backyard to be seen overhead, which is an exceptional way to experience gardens, pools, and other landscaping you may have. Interested in a sunken design? This cozy variation can be a safe landscape design for small children.

Additionally, patios are a great place for small outdoor gardens and plants, furniture, bbq grills, and more. It can much easier to place and style your patio than an open lawn. 

Protect outdoor furnishings

Utah landscaping requires accounting for rain and snow. A patio is a great backyard addition to easily cover your outdoor furnishings. A roof or a pergola add is a landscape design to keep in mind for long-term investment.

Reduce costs

Landscape architects consider the amount of lawn space when creating a landscape design. If you are someone who would prefer less lawn maintenance, a patio is a great option to have a functional space that can be used for many reasons. Less to water, less to rake, less to mow, and thus reduced costs. All you need to do is a quick spray down or sweep and your patio maintenance is complete. 

If you are considering a spa, consider a patio

If you are considering a spa unit, consider putting it on a patio. A patio provides a foundation to create a relaxing environment. At Land Design by Armstrong, we don’t miss out on the details, from lights to anti-slip materials, your outdoor space will be complete on every level.
