While you build your home,
you may want to
landscape with rocks, as you terrace a slope,
or you may want to
grow roses in your
patio-landscaping ideas

To make your yard complete, patio-landscaping rounds off the design.

You can do courtyards, or open patios. Often pavers are used instead of cement.





Firepit with pavers
The pavers show up very nicely in this picture. A firepit has been placed on one side of the patio. If you have a patio firepit, you need a fairly large patio, so there is room to put chairs around the firepit and still leave room for people to walk around the chairs.

A courtyard patio is very nice too.





looking outside a courtyard
This picture is taken from inside a courtyard, looking out. Notice the pavers are bigger stones than the ones above.

A courtyard gives you a secluded area where you can go to read and relax on a hot afternoon. patio stones


This particular patio is along the back of the house with plantings of flowers around the edges of the pavers.
