Patios are great additions to any backyard. Depending on your needs and the area available to you, your patio can be a place to sit and relax with a good book or your entertainment area where you can arrange outdoor furniture, a grill, container plants and accessories.

A truly great patio or back porch should be an extension of your living area as it can serve as the central location for your friends and family to gather.

It’s enjoyable to have a nice dinner on the patio on a beautiful evening, out of the hot stuffy kitchen. They’re great for a peaceful Sunday morning when you want to be outside reading the paper and enjoying a cup of coffee. They’re fantastic for throwing a party for all of the entertaining you love to do. And patios are a great place for a romantic slow dance with your significant other. Dim the lights, light some candles or soft mood lighting and have a wonderful evening.

And getting the kids outside to play, study and visit on the patio is so much better for their health than sitting in front of a TV or computer monitor.

Patios really are an extension of your home. Decorate and adorn them as such. Birdhouses, planters, and whimsical pieces can all be placed to illustrate your taste and personality.

The addition of a well-designed patio brings value, expands your outdoor living space and enhances your property.  Contact the professionals at Metamorphosis Landscape Design of Long Island to help you design an outdoor patio that fits your needs and budget!
