The patio is a Spanish word, which means it is a courtyard of a house or building. A patio differs from a courtyard in that it doesn’t have to be surrounded by walls. Patios can be attached to a house or detached. But factors to be considered such as the location’s accessibility, exposure to the sun and your planned activities of entertaining, dining and sunbathing play an important part in determining the appropriate patio designs. The goal of your patio design scheme is to create outdoor extension rooms which are unique, lovely and very useful for your planned family and social activities. To know more, visit hackmannlawn.com
