Patio Plans

We have a lot of brainstorming to do for our new patio.

Goals:

-A Patio (preferably bluestone) spanning across back of house from chicken coop on right to garage on left

- Outdoor shower (behind garage?)

-Areas for dining and for sitting/living and a firepit

-Area for grill. Do we build it in to a sitting wall or is it free-standing?

Challenges:

-budget constraints. For example, adding a wall adds $$$...

-Large drop in elevation over on garage side

-Reconfigure stairs off kitchen

-Stairs off patio to playarea/swingset below

Here is a nice, simple patio design I found online. It is also a cape so I thought it was relevant to our project. It also incorporates the materials I would choose for ours.

Stay tuned...
