Patio
Outdoor floor
Paving, furniture, and shade, stopped at the door you have
A patio is paving, furniture, and shade. The door threshold and the level change stay. If there is one step down from the kitchen, there is still one step down. Chairs do not float across a grade the door does not share.
Threshold and level change stay. The floor on the far side of them can be rebuilt.
The paving, the seats, the shade, the sill, the step, the door swing, and a second paving each need a picture. Drop a file into the matching slot and the block fills.
Paving can change. It still meets the level change instead of climbing the sill.
A table for four needs a pull-back. Eight chairs do not fit a pad the step already limits.
An umbrella or a pergola belongs over the furniture, not over the doorway.
The sill remains the line between inside and the outdoor floor.
One step down stays one step down. A flush patio is only honest if the photo is already flush.
Furniture stops short of the door. The threshold has to stay a way in and out.
Try another unit or joint without moving the sill.
Paving
Paving is the joint, the unit, and the field: brick, stone, or a poured slab. It can be replaced. It should meet the level change cleanly, not climb the step and pretend the threshold is flush with the yard.
Furniture
Furniture is a number of people and a way they face. A table for four needs a pull-back from the paving edge. Do not draw eight chairs on a pad that only the level change in the photo can support, and do not block the door swing with the nearest seat.
Shade
Shade is an umbrella, a pergola, or a sail over the furniture. It should leave the door threshold readable. A roof that swallows the level change has become a different structure, closer to a deck or an addition than to a patio.
Unit, joint, and extent can change on the outdoor floor beyond the step.
Seats are sized to the paving, with room to pull a chair back.
Cover the place people sit. Leave the doorway legible.
The door sill remains the line between inside and the patio.
A step down, or none, is kept. The paving does not invent a new grade.
The first chair stops short of the door. The threshold has to stay usable.
Photograph across the threshold so the level change, if there is one, is visible in the same frame as the paving.
The door threshold and the level change stay. Say how many steps there are before you choose a paver.
Place furniture for a real count, then shade those seats. If the step disappeared, or a chair sits in the door swing, the patio was ignored.
A terrace with a stronger edge, a deck when you leave the door at height, the rear yard beyond the paving, and a warmer outdoor character.
Paving
Patio design is a paved outdoor floor: the material, the furniture, and the shade, ending at the door and at the level change you already have. It does not build a raised deck with a calculated stair, and it does not landscape the lot.
The door threshold is the datum. People step out and need a dry standing spot before they reach the table. Shade should cover the seat at the hour you named, not the empty corner. Photograph the door and the edge of the paving in one frame.
A terrace page is the broader outdoor room. A deck page is the framed platform. Stay here when the ground is already near the floor of the house and the question is the surface.
Name the paving. Joints, not only color, tell you whether it is stone, brick, or concrete.
The first tile is a landing. Do not start the table in the swing.
Cover the seats. A sail over the path and sun on the chairs is backwards.
The paving ends. Beds or lawn begin. A patio that fades into the whole yard has no edge.
The links below are the neighboring jobs. Each one keeps a promise this page does not make.
The outdoor floor, the chairs, the shade, and the step the door already requires.
The step, or the lack of one, between the door threshold and the paving. It stays. A flush patio is only honest if the photo is already flush.
No. Furniture stops clear of the door swing. The threshold has to remain a way in and out.
Shade is cover over the seats: umbrella, pergola, or sail. A roof that rebuilds the threshold is no longer a patio.
Yes. Paving is the variable. The door threshold and the level change stay while the field of stone or brick is replaced.
The number who will actually sit there. If the paving cannot give each chair a pull-back, reduce the count instead of shrinking the people.
When the floor is raised to the door height and needs rails and stairs. A patio sits with the level change. A deck is built to the door.
Only if the frame includes the door and the ground beyond it. A close crop of paving hides the level change this page is supposed to keep.
One photo that shows the door, the step, and the ground you would pave is the whole brief for furniture and shade.
