The terrace is an element of garden design, but also the most expensive part of a garden. Since a terrace can fulfill different functions, it requires careful consideration. So here are a few points about different terrace designs.
Terrace Location: The terrace can be placed to catch the evening sun and provide a warm spot for dinner or drinks.
Use of the terrace: In order to have a terrace, you have to decide how you want to use it. You want a patio for dining, a patio for sunbathing, or a patio for relaxing with a book, or a patio that combines all three.
Terrace Capacity: The terrace can be made to provide the right size space so that chairs can be easily pulled up and also people can move around when others are seated.
Built-in Seating: When it comes to patio design, the built-in seating will look very chic along with outdoor fireplaces and pergolas, turning the entire patio into an outdoor space.
Privacy – if your patio offers a view, then it is imperative that a screen be included when designing the patio. Walls, fences, hedges and pergolas can be built in to create privacy.
Affordable Price – Installing a patio is quite a big deal, but you can also spend as much as you can afford as the patio is an important part of your garden.
Surface Material – The most common surface for constructing a patio is the paving slab. Get the best quality slab you can afford because it will last longer and look good for many years to come.
