Concrete patios are all about shapes and sizes and it’s important to take into consideration factors regarding shape and layout.

Designing the perfect concrete patio can pose many challenges to homeowners one of the biggest being shape and layout consideration. Alan at A1 Concretors can assist with the common questions and considerations that may arise from starting such a project.

When designing a patio, it’s important to choose between one large patio or several smaller ones depending on the size of the property and the patio’s intended use. Designing a good patio consists of incorporating the existing home and landscape and creating an extension of these areas for entertaining year around.

Landscape designers agree that the best way to create a unique and functional backyard patio is to design the patio in separate areas. Rather than placing one large slab at the back of the house, it is better to create outdoor rooms with several smaller or separated slabs. This is largely dependent on how the patio area will be used, including typical number guests to be entertained, type of desired surface (i.e. patterned, coloured, etc.) and many other factors outlined on the site.

Homeowners are also challenged to think beyond the typical square or rectangular patio shape. Incorporating curves can give your patio some uniqueness and enhance the overall atmosphere. Contact Alan at A1 Concretors 0407 401 249 for some patio design ideas.
