4 Things to Consider When Installing a Patio


If you are looking to turn your backyard into the perfect summer hangout spot, a patio is just what you need. But before you purchase your materials and dive into installation, you must first consider these four factors...

Patio Size

There are a variety of things that can impact the size of your patio, including available space, budget, and intended use. Allow ample space for activity, furniture, traffic flow, and give yourself a little bit of extra leeway room to be safe.

Material

There are many options to choose from when it comes to patio materials – including bricks, concrete, gravel, and more. Ideally, you want to pick something that fits your budget, matches the style of your home, is easy to maintain, and lasts a long time.

Location

Do you want your patio attached to your home, or as a standalone gathering space in your backyard? The choice is completely up to you, but know that you are stuck with your decision for the next several years.

Contractor

Your patio will only be as good as the contractor who installs it. Many people opt for a DIY installation without any formal training or experience, or hire the cheapest contractor they can find. More times than not, these same people are wondering why their patios are falling apart three years later.
