Garden Patio Ideas

• Decorative paver stones are one of many popular patio landscaping ideas.
• Instead of creating an entire walkway with paver stones, opt for in-patio flowerbeds that you can fill with soil and plants of your choosing. Since you’re going the DIY route, these flowerbeds can be any size or shape that you decide.
• You can also fill pavers with river rocks or pond pebbles for a low-maintenance accent.

• Surround your patio with tiered flower beds.
• These staggered flower beds are built using small retaining walls, and they add visual intrigue to outdoor spaces by playing with height.
• They’re also a great landscaping choice if you have a sloped backyard with uneven ground.

• Bring a piece of your garden onto your patio with oversized planters.
• Fill them with flowers, vegetables or small trees. Made from durable materials like ceramic and resin, planters come in virtually every color imaginable, and they often feature charming details like simple etchings or more intricate carvings.
• Their versatility makes it easy to find a perfect style match for your patio decor.

• Pergolas are an optimal structure for lush vertical vines or climbing flowers.
• The natural canopy looks beautiful and offers hints of shade.
• Ready-to-assemble pergolas are available in a variety of attractive and durable materials, including natural wood, premium vinyl and wood grain aluminum.

• Maximize small spaces by creating a vertical garden along the patio wall.
• Sometimes called “living walls” or “green walls,” these installations can incorporate a variety of plants like succulents, lipstick plants and peace lilies.
• Homeowners can plant their living wall using a wall-hanging plant frame or a classic garden trellis.
• Garden trellises can also act as a protective screen, offering privacy to your patio and granting additional shade.

• Placing an outdoor bench in your garden patio adds a timeless and practical touch.
• For modern patios, choose from sleek styles made of stained or painted cedar.
• Picnic tables are a versatile option if you have enough space to accommodate one, and a classic hammock will inspire afternoon naps with nature.

Tip: Hang outdoor string lights to illuminate your seating area at night.
