Patio vs. Deck

But before seeking a masonry contractor, you want to ask yourself several questions. How do I want to use the space? What is my desired look? Should the area be part of a yard or separate? Should it be friendly to kids? Do you need it to be for a quiet retreat or should it be an entertainment area? When you have an answer to these questions, you will determine if you need a patio or a deck.

Patios are usually made from concrete, bricks and paver stones. Because there are at an uneven level to your lawn, it creates a good connection between your landscape and living space. The surrounding trees, shrubs, and flower beds become key elements of an area. The patio's stonework makes it possible to incorporate things such as birdbaths, fire pits, fountains, and water features.

Patios are perfect for outdoor kitchen

Patios can also be used at the perfect foundations for the outdoor kitchen. However, the materials used to make the structure are prone to staining. Decks are usually made of wood and are raised from the ground. Their elevation means they are separated from the rest of your landscape. However, they offer a good viewpoint for the rest of your yard. For safety, purposes, decks should have boundaries around the perimeter.  Even though this is a railing fence, it can be built to provide enough seating. The surface of a deck is usually softer and is, therefore, more suitable for kids and babies.

On the other hand, decks are usually costlier to install as compared to patios. Of course, you will need to consider other factors such as size, material selection, features, and installation issues.
