At Lawn Care Plus, we are a full-service landscaping and hardscaping company with a dedicated team of landscapers and masonry professionals who can help you design the perfect patio for your small backyard. Here are some patio design ideas for small backyards.

  1. Vertical Gardens Vertical gardens are an excellent way to add greenery to a small outdoor space without taking up too much room. By utilizing the walls of your patio, you can create a lush and vibrant garden that adds color and life to your outdoor area.
  2. Built-in Seating Built-in seating is a great way to maximize your patio’s space. By incorporating built-in benches or seating areas, you can create a functional and comfortable outdoor area that’s perfect for lounging and entertaining.
  3. Multi-Level Design A multi-level patio design is an excellent option for small backyards. By incorporating different levels, you can create a visually interesting outdoor area that maximizes your space and provides additional seating or dining areas.
  4. Compact Furniture When designing a patio for a small backyard, it’s essential to choose furniture that is proportionate to the space. Compact furniture, such as bistro sets or small sectionals, can provide comfortable seating and dining options without taking up too much room.
  5. Potted Plants Potted plants are an easy and versatile way to add greenery and color to your small patio. By incorporating different sizes and shapes of pots, you can create a visually interesting garden that adds life and vibrancy to your outdoor space.

Installing a patio is a great way to enhance your outdoor living space and add value to your home. However, if you’re new to the world of landscaping and hardscaping, the prospect of installing a patio can seem daunting. At Lawn Care Plus, we are a full-service landscaping and hardscaping company with a dedicated team of landscapers and masonry professionals who can guide you through the process. Here’s a beginner’s guide to installing a patio.

  1. Planning and Design The first step in installing a patio is planning and design. Start by considering the size and shape of your outdoor space, as well as your budget and design preferences. Our team of professionals can help you choose the right materials, design elements, and features to create a beautiful and functional outdoor area that meets your needs.
  2. Site Preparation Once you’ve finalized your patio design, the next step is site preparation. This involves clearing and leveling the area where the patio will be installed. This can include removing any existing landscaping, excavating the area, and compacting the soil.
  3. Base Preparation After the site is prepared, the next step is to prepare the base for the patio. This involves adding a layer of crushed stone and compacting it to create a stable base for the patio. Our team can help you choose the right materials for the base and ensure that it’s properly installed.
  4. Installing the Patio Once the base is prepared, the next step is to install the patio. This involves laying the pavers or stones in the desired pattern and securing them in place with sand or mortar. Our team can help you choose the right materials and design elements for your patio, and ensure that it’s installed properly.
  5. Finishing Touches After the patio is installed, the final step is to add finishing touches. This can include adding landscape lighting, seating areas, and decorative elements such as plants or water features.
