Here are some other tips for planning it properly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_location\"><\/span><strong>Choose the location<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many homeowners decide to attach their patio to the back of their house, but you don&#8217;t have to follow this idea. It looks good even when built on the side of your house or even standing alone in your yard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the best location, grab some chairs and put them in one position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, sit on the chair, and feel how wonderful it is. If you love this feeling, go for that position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determine_the_size\"><\/span><strong>Determine the size<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your yard size determines how big your patio can be. The Homeowner&#8217;s Association (HOA) also limits your patio&#8217;s size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, they may not allow you to cut down trees across your property line. Hence, you won&#8217;t be able to save space for a deck.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, patios are available in all sizes. A small deck can bring you enjoyable moments if you only have limited space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-much-space-do-you-have.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-much-space-do-you-have.jpg 640w, https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-much-space-do-you-have-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_the_material\"><\/span><strong>Pick the material<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Material is an essential factor because it determines how your patio looks and how long it can last. There are numerous options to select:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Concrete<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many materials that can be as versatile as concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tried-and-true mix, which blends sand, gravel, cement, and water, gives you many options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete will mold and adapt to almost any surface shape when using well-built molds. You may also love it due to its sturdiness and ease of maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Brick<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Brick blends very well with many different architectural and landscape designs since it is robust, long-lasting, and neat-looking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This material is adaptable and can work for patio flooring, paths, walls, and borders. Formal or rustic hardscape elements and housing types can benefit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Flagstone<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The third option in this list is flagstone, a popular choice for front entries and patios. It comes in multiple stones and colors, so you can opt for the one that fits your yard the most.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Material-is-important.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Material-is-important.jpg 640w, https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Material-is-important-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_patio_amenities\"><\/span><strong>Choose patio amenities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t complete the design without adding ornamental or functional amenities. If you don&#8217;t know where to start, think about some choices like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Couches<\/li><li>Grills&nbsp;<\/li><li>Range hoods<\/li><li>Water fountains<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your family might also love a cornhole board off your patio to provide entertainment for your parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_landscape_elements\"><\/span><strong>Consider landscape elements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might add potted plants or build a garden that matches the shape of your patio. After construction upsets the soil and removes existing shrubs, vegetation will warm the whole space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plants eventually grow into a stunning landscape that makes your house an even nicer spot to spend time with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardscaping is a fantastic idea as well. It includes solid and permanent features to beautify your property. You may construct a stone pathway, fire pit, or cement block wall for your patio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those elements last all four seasons. They&#8217;ll enhance the appeal of your home without having a green touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of hardscaping is that it requires minimal maintenance. You can also change it easily to establish a different vibe in your garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uproot_the_grass\"><\/span><strong>Uproot the grass<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not expect this, but your patio may suffer from mold growth and moisture retention if the ground is too spongy and soft. Hence, uproot the grass before building anything on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be best to discuss the landscaping precautions to take with professionals to construct a durable, high-quality patio.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Work-with-the-grass-first.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Work-with-the-grass-first.jpg 640w, https:\/\/yardlifemaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Work-with-the-grass-first-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dos_and_Don%E2%80%99ts_When_Building_An_Outdoor_Patio\"><\/span><strong>Dos and Don&#8217;ts When Building An Outdoor Patio&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We also include some extra tips for building an outdoor patio.
