A backyard is a perfect place to let your creativity run wild and create a dream area for you and for family.
If you’ve ever thought about turning your backyard into a special picnic space, College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens is here to help give you some ideas on how exactly we can make that happen for you!
Patio or Porch
Adding a patio to your backyard is a great option because it give you a designated space to decorate however you want, as well as gives you a flat surface to make your “base.”
You can go with a simple concrete patio, which is quite affordable and can be dyed or stained to give you a bit more control over your outdoor aesthetic.
If you can and want to splurge a bit more, you can have flagstone placed into the concrete, and it will give you patio a more rustic and natural feel.
You could also use tiles for your patio, and this gives you an infinite amount of styles, shapes, colors, and arrangement options.
Another option that many love is stamped concrete.
This is when large stamps are pressed into wet concrete to give it the look of other building materials like stone, brick, tiles, etc.
It’s much more affordable for anyone who doesn’t want to spend too much on a beautiful product.
Fire Pit or Fireplace
A great addition to any outdoor living space is a fire pit or fireplace.
Fire pits are fairly easy to install and can be constructed from a variety of materials in different colors and styles.
If you’re looking for something a bit more elegant, though, an outdoor fireplace might be a better option.
You can have a simple fireplace installed or go all out and have an entire mantle put in as well, which can provide extra seating or more decorative space.
Regardless, a fire feature will be sure to keep you cozy all year round.
Pergola or 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.
