Are you looking for ways to improve the look and function of your patio? If you are, then you should think about home wall construction. A wall can really help to make a patio feel like a finished area and often provides several addition benefits as well.
If your patio sits in the middle of a large cluster of walls, flowers and plants, then a low wall is a great way to define your patio space. By using natural rocks for your wall, it will also help make the transition from patio to your yard more natural and fluid. A taller wall is a great way to create a cozy nook, such as around a firepit. Or you can use walls to compliment any plantings on the outskirts of your patio. You can also use walls to create a terraced garden on a sloping hill for an incredibly elegant look.
There are more benefits to adding a wall around your patio space than just as a divider between the patio and the yard. Make it low enough to provide another seating option for your patio. Line the top of the wall with cushions to encourage it to be used as a seat. To create a real patio oasis, build your wall up from around the patio that meets at a high point to frame a small fountain.
