Northwest Backyard Patio Makeover

12 years ago
We had a small (10'x12') grey concrete patio in the backyard, and decided to extend it with stumped & colored concrete patio, and added an outdoor fireplace and a pergola with clear roof for Seattle weather. The small space got a bit more useful and cozy with some outdoor furniture, lanterns, stone benches and columns, and some flower baskets.

    Lovely - even in the Winter. I would add some fabric to give privacy.

    Concrete patio size is now 20' x 22', almost 4 times as big as it used to be. :)

    Great idea! Definitely having your outdoor living space covered allows for usage all year long...even in the rain or snow! :)

    Thank you for looking at my makeover post and kind comments.

    After the wind storm we had recently, the pergola is still standing! :)

    I love it- looking forward to expanding my tree deck this summer to make room for furniture and fire pit - yours is very inspirational!

    It's gorgeous. We live in the Seattle area too and am planning on a backyard makeover as well. Who was the contractor for the project? We need a new patio.
