Add A Patio To Create A Diverse Garden Living Space

A patio is a recreation area that adjoins a dwelling, is often paved, and is adapted especially to outdoor dining (per Merriam-Webster's online dictionary). For me, the key word is "recreation."  They can be: a serene place to relax and rejuvenate, a perfect area for barbecuing and dining; an ideal spot to kick-back and read; a fabulous location for parties and entertaining; or simply a space for a great conversation.  Whether a patio is used for some or all of the above, they are treasured additions that improve garden living, as well as the value of a home.
