Adding a patio is a great way to enhance your outdoor space in Michigan. However, you'll want to consider several factors before moving forward with the project to ensure you get your desired results. For one, you'll want to consider the size and shape of your patio so it fits where you plan to install it perfectly and can accommodate any other elements you may want with it or later down the line. You'll also want to consider choosing a material that meets your functional and aesthetic preferences, with some common options being natural stone, clay pavers, and brick pavers. Lastly, you should consider investing in a design rendering to see how your finished patio will look before installation begins.


Consider Your Desired Size & Shape for Your Patio

When adding a patio to your outdoor space, you'll want to consider your desired shape and size. After all, you want to ensure it fits perfectly where you plan to put it and can accommodate any other elements or features you may want to add to it now or in the future. For example, some common features paired with a patio include seating walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. You can also choose a shape that aligns with your aesthetic preferences, whether circular, rectangular, square, or oval.


Consider the material you want to use for your patio.

An important decision you'll need to make when building a new patio is the material you want to use. You'll want to consider choosing a material that meets your functional and aesthetic preferences, with some options being the following:

  • Brick Pavers: Brick pavers will bring a timeless, rustic beauty to your patio. They are also very durable and can stand the test of time.
  • Clay Pavers: Clay pavers are known for being hardwearing, long-lasting, and low-maintenance. They also come in various colors and shapes to meet your aesthetic goals for your new patio.
  • Natural Stone: Natural stone offers numerous design options, as they come in different types, colors, shapes, and sizes. This material is also perfect for high-traffic areas like a patio, as they can withstand wear and tear and the elements.

Consider Investing in a Design Rendering to View Your Patio Ahead of Installation

If you want to see how your patio will look before installation begins, you should consider investing in a design rendering! A design rendering can be 2D or 3D, and you can choose which will best help you envision how this new feature will look and fit in with your existing outside space. A 2D design provides a flat, general layout that you can view from a top-down angle, and while it's not as detailed, you'll still get a good idea of how the final product will turn out.

Meanwhile, a 3D rendering offers a more realistic, in-depth depiction of your patio, which you can view from any angle for a comprehensive understanding of its dimensions. You can't go wrong with either, as they'll both reduce miscommunication between you and the installation company so that you receive just what you want!

A 2D or 3D design rendering allows you to make any changes to your patio before construction begins to ensure the final product aligns with your vision!
