Patio Designs & More - Atlanta, GA
Adding a swimming pool isn’t the only way to give your backyard a
style boost. The right patio design will improve curb appeal and create
a personalized outdoor living space for all of your family’s needs.
Gerhart Pools specializes in both pool and patio design, including pool
landscaping, natural swimming pools, and eco-friendly patios.
Integrating Patio Design with Your Yard
While it’s true that your patio is an extension of your indoor living
space, it should also meld well with your outdoor living areas. Using
your in-ground pool or landscaping as inspiration is an excellent way
to ensure your patio design is in tune with the rest of your yard.
- Basing your patio design on the aesthetics of your swimming pool can connect
these two significant outdoor features through style. A modern, geometric
pool shape is well complemented by a sleek patio design, while a more
organic, freeform pool may look best nestled beside a patio that finds
inspiration in elements of nature.
- Although a patio is considered hardscaping, there is no reason your patio
design shouldn’t include a little softscaping, as well. Adding planters,
garden boxes, and other landscaping features in or around your patio will
help it blend more easily with the surrounding landscape of your yard.
- If you are concerned with privacy, adding a partial privacy fence or line
of hedges and trees can create a more enclosed feeling for your patio
without making it feel cramped or dark.
- You can tie your patio in with your garden or other landscaped areas of
your yard by adding pavers or walkways that create a feeling of flow from
one outdoor space to the next.
Versatile Patio Design
Patios are multipurpose spaces that should suit your changing needs. During
the patio design phase, it’s important to consider the many ways
in which you want to use your patio, then integrate each purpose into
the final result. The anchor points of your patio’s design should
be the elements you plan to use the most, such as a fireplace, grill,
pergola, bar, or fire pit. Additional integrated dining or seating areas
should be located in an arrangement that allows foot traffic to move easily
between them, while there should be a clear path to your swimming pool
for convenient access back and forth between the pool and your home. At
