To get started, closely examine the outdoor area you want to decorate with flagstones. You can decide between typical designs featuring square or rectangular flagstones or incorporating both shapes. You could also choose to decorate your outdoor patio with flagstones featuring irregular shapes. Some DIY enthusiast even go cutting their own stones. This gives them distinctively patterned stones for paving at their outdoors. Needless to say, you must buy, rent or borrow the needed equipment for that. Interestingly enough, it is like building up your own flagstone puzzle.
This demand has not only forced landscape contractors to be more creative with their designs, but has created an industry within itself. All of your big box stores are catering to this industry with patio furniture, stainless steel grills, pre-built grill stations, portable fire pits and it is not unusual to see contractors who specialize or only design and install patios.
If the patio is overlooked the patio design will need to include screening. Walls, hedges, pergolas, and fences can be included in the patio design to provide a sense of enclosure and privacy. When building a wall around a patio it is a great idea to include a window through to other garden areas so that the patio doesn’t end up feeling to claustrophobic. Windows in dividing walls create an interesting glimpse of the rest of the garden without compromising privacy.
Patio designs incorporating built-in seating with pergolas and outdoor fireplaces look very chic and transform the patio into an outdoor room. It is also a great way to make use of all available space in a very small garden. This solution is convenient if you don’t want to shuffle around with garden furniture. However, the position of the seating is fixed and restricts how you can use the patio. The space is less flexible as seating cannot be varied to turn a dining area into a lounging area.
