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.

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.

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.

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