Your Backyard: Enjoying The Great Outdoors
“There are fewer warm months in Wisconsin, so it makes sense that people want to get the most enjoyment as possible from their yards and patios. There are many possibilities that people aren’t even aware of in terms of what you can do to expand your activity in your backyard. We have designed stone patios for people and many times that is all they want. But, often times, when people see the wide variety of options you can add to basic patio designs, they get very enthusiastic about their projects." Todd Sparby, Owner of Images of Green.
Limited Only By Imagination
Homeowners can create special living areas that are fun and are responsible for being the places where many memories are made. On top of that, these additional structures that can be added to patios often add a touch of class. Below is a list of some of the addition ideas:
♦ Entrance ways
♦ Pillars
♦ Special borders or accents
♦ Outdoor fireplaces
♦ Outdoor kitchens
♦ Planters and seat walls
♦ Steps
♦ Pool decks
♦ Walkways
♦ Water features
Once your imagination gets started, the problem is not thinking of ideas for making an area distinctive, but in trying to reduce the number of possibilities. Many homeowners like too many options and selecting one to build is sometimes very difficult. Although it’s a great problem to have in that no matter what project is being done or which design is chosen, it’s going to look great.
Stone accents, patios, walkways and accessories can give every home a special feel and set an elegant tone. There are scores of stone faces and types, and endless ideas for creating new and special living areas.
