Backyards don’t have to be plain and simple. They’re a perfect space to let your creativity flow, and outdoor living contractors like College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens are here to make your wildest dreams come true.
Have you ever considered of turning your boring backyard into a lovely picnic oasis? We’ll we’re here to give you some ideas that we feel passionate about for your backyard.
- PATIO: Adding a patio to your backyard is always a great choice since it leaves your options open for all the different ways you can decorate the finished patio. You could go with a simple concrete patio, which is very affordable, and can be stained to add some vibrancy to your outdoor living space. If you have the ability to splurge a little, you can have flagstone placed into the concrete of your patio, and it gives a very natural and rustic feel. You could also use tile as the base for your patio, and choose from an almost infinite amount of styles, shapes, and colors, and have them arranged however you’d like to fit the aesthetic you want. Another option, which is highly recommended by our previous customers, is stamped concrete. Large stamps are pressed into the wet concrete and it gives it a pattern of almost anything you can think of, stone, brick, tiles, etc. It’s a super affordable option for those that want the expensive look without having to pay the expensive price tag. If you need help deciding on what would work best for you and your backyard, College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens would be happy to help you decide. No matter your choice, having a patio is going to be a perfect base for a backyard picnic. You will have a designated area to sit without having to worry about sitting in an ant pile or mud ruining your fun.
- FIRE PIT/FIREPLACE: A great focal point in a backyard area is a fire pit or fire place. Fire pits are fairly easy to install and can be constructed from a variety of different materials in plenty of styles and colors. But if you’re looking for something a bit more extravagant, an outdoor fire place might be a better option for you. You can have just the simple fire place installed, or go all out and have a whole fire place and mantle put in, which can provide extra seating or space to decorate. A fire pit or fireplace is going to create lots of warmth and coziness for a picnic no matter what time of year it is.
- PERGOLA/PAVILION: Pergolas are ever popular, and they’re a great option for people who already have a nice outdoor patio but are looking to get some more shade. They usually consist of four pillars that support cross-beams or latticework. They provide a decent amount of shade without completely blocking out all the sunlight, and while they’re a simple structure, they can completely change the style of your backyard. If you want something with a little more coverage, you can always have a pavilion installed instead. It’s essentially the same as a pergola, except it has a completely covered roof and provides a bit more protection from the elements. Having a pergola or pavilion installed over your patio is going to provide shade and shelter for when you want to have a nice picnic and will be super beneficial in the long run.
- SEATING AREA: Having a place to comfortably sit and relax is key to a backyard picnic area you’ll love. You have the option to do a table and chairs if you want to be able to dine, a couch and chair, living room-type set up for maximum comfort, or even both! Choosing various different colors and patterns can really give your space a lot of personality. College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens can help you decide on a color palette for your outdoor space to match your furniture to the building materials used to construct your other features.
