Natural Elements for Creative Patio Designs

Patios are great places for relaxing and entertaining friends.  If you are looking out your back window and you see the perfect place for a patio and there is a tree smack dab in the middle, figure out a way to incorporate the tree into your patio design. With this method, you will have a truly unique patio design that no one else can duplicate exactly.

Cutting down trees can be an expensive and sometimes illegal process.  The tree will make a beautiful shade canopy for your new patio.  Lay your flooring to the right, left, or around the trunk of the tree.  You can then add smaller gardening areas around the base of the tree.  Choose flowers and plants that grow well in the shade, and there are many varieties.  Cement a 4×4 stud in the ground away from the base of the tree and hang one end of a hammock from the stud and the other from the tree.  It will be a nice relaxing spot to read or take a quick nap.

Don’t let a little thing like a tree keep you from having a patio; instead, make the tree part of your patio design and create an instant shady retreat.
