Patio ideas

We have built this south facing house and want to put a patio area outside the French doors (kitchen & dining area) on the west facing side of the house. I'm trying to get ideas to make this area more private without losing the afternoon sunlight. My big problem is that the entrance driveway goes in front of the patio area. Any ideas or advice appreciated

Great- a photo. How about deciding if you want seating, dining, play space, or a combination, and then work out where each function makes the most sense. You could to a lot with plants, including large trees, in pots to soften the area and to screen one area from another, or could pull up some of the pavers to make planting spaces directly into the ground. Sketch out what you might want to use the space for and where you need it, and it will come together pretty quickly. Your local nursery can be an excellent resource.

Hi Diane. I must admit I may be tempted to look at french doors then.You could have wide doors with glazed panels either side to let the light in. I think they'll open up wider than a patio door ( but jonathan may correct me:) !)

Hello, an awning in your garden is a great idea. Excellent for providing shade and keeping your location comfortable when it starts to rain while you are having a barbecue. more details https://ad-solutions.ie/awnings.html
