Give Thought to the Space
Before you move forward with adding a paver patio and fire pit to your property, consider your overall space. Do you want to put the patio and outdoor fire feature fairly (safely) close to your back door or extend your property’s entertaining space by adding the paver patio and fire pit down a paver walkway to your side yard? When you consider the space you have to work with you can have the right size fire pit and patio designed and built for you.
Consider Planting Options
Masonry features can introduce both style and utility to your yard, but you will also want to consider having a good balance between those features and plantings. You can add lovely greenery to the perimeter of the patio and have garden beds added to the area around this location in your yard as well. To give the patio area a pop of color, add colorful flowers to stylish planters on your patio. Petunias and pansies are hardy flowers that will add a welcome splash of color to your gathering spot. If you have a nearby pavilion or pergola, creeping vines added to the structure add a natural touch to the scenery.
Add Additional Entertaining Features
The paver patio and fire pit are features that will work well on their own; however, you can make this area in your yard even more inviting by adding some other outdoor space items that serve your entertaining purposes. For example, the addition of an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven will make pizza parties at your house a popular pastime. Adding a retaining wall surrounding your paver patio will provide your outdoor space with a secluded vibe and keep your fire pit protected from the wind.
Also consider how your patio and fire pit will look at night. Strategically installed outdoor lighting around the space will provide you with ample lighting for evening get togethers. Also consider lining your backyard walkways with outdoor lights to enable guests to reach the party destination with ease.
Make It Suitable for Friends and Family
For the ultimate outdoor entertaining space you are adding, think about the details. An outdoor dining table and chairs on the patio may be necessary in addition to a seating wall, depending on how many people you tend to invite over. Then, if you want to add extra ambience to your property, a water feature close to your paver patio can provide everyone who comes by the joy of all the sights and sounds of the water flowing from the water fountain or backyard pond.
