Deck or Patio? What would you do?
Finally working on the exterior of our home. Roof and siding is already in the works. Need to plan a new deck or patio; maybe a combination of both. Anyone have some pictures or advice?

Necesito ayuda con mi patio
(32) comentariosHola, he leido tu pregunta y las respuestas , algunas me han parecido muy buenas, en realidad todo va a depender del presupuesto que quieras invertir en la terraza, Si fuese mía me iría a tiendas de diseño de jardines y terrazas a pedir presupuestos e ideas, y luego si crees que puedes abaratar el precio de los costes, y te hace ilusión realizar a tí, tu propia idea, genial !! al menos yo lo haría, deja volar tu imaginación, y ves pensando en todas las ideas que te han dado en las tiendas de diseño , ellos son profesionales, tb deberias valorar algunas respuestas que he leído en este medio, son buenas, en realidad te toca a ti decidir qué quieres, yo soy de las que piensa que, una terraza o patio debe ser como llevar un trocito de jardín al interior de la casa. Y cómo pides ideas te cuento la mía, quieres? no embaldosar el suelo ni dejarlo como está !! yo lo cubriría con madera natural o sintética, la segunda da muy buenos resultados, no se ha de barnizar , es la de las fotos, pero es algo cara, otra idea más barata pero no por ello menos bonita, es el césped artificial, hay de muchos precios, no cubras todo el suelo, deja una distancia de 50 ctm y lo cubres con piedras blancas , harán contraste en el césped y la madera, compra unas macetas grandes de barro y en cada esquina de pared colocas dos y plantas buganvillas y en las otras diferentes tipos de hiedra, para que cubran las paredes, las hay muy bonitas !! En cuanto a las paredes , yo no las dejaría pintadas. Una idea no demasiado cara que dará calidez al ambiente, son los paneles de madera que venden en centros de jardinería o grandes superficies , las plantas cubrirán los paneles, dando un color muy bonito a la pared, la terraza se transformará en un jardín, Otra recomendación pon una areca, es una palmera muy chula , jejeje, se nota me encantan las plantas. Pon macetas rectangulares en el suelo, separa las piedras y luego las recolocas bien, pon unas cordiline en cada jardinera, para dar altura, y plantas más bajas , helechos ,o cualquier otra especie verde, ves a algún garden, y a medida vayas viendo el efecto y ya sin prisa, vas pensando en los muebles, hay muchos modelos de sillas ,mesas, sillones y tumbonas la terraza tiene una buena superficie, puedes mirar muchos modelos , también te quedarán muy bonitas luces solares enredadas por la celosía de la pared, he visto que tienes sol . Pienso que si te dejas llevar por tus sensaciones, dejarás de tener un patio y pasarás a tener un jardín súper bonito !!...Ver másCERRADO - 7 de diciembre: GANA una tarjeta de 50€ de Boho Deco Shop

(5) comentarios@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!...Ver másHelp with wall art!
(12) comentariosHola MONICA: Gracias por explicarte. Si no te obstinas por poner fotos tuyas variadas y pequeñás, puedes encargar un vinilo autadhesivo, con una imagen de la más alta definición, que haga tu instrumento, o comprar alguna en un banco de imágenes. Procuras que la parte alta izquierda sea lo más neutra posible y pegas la imagen sobre el paramento completo, incluso sobre el frente del split. El resto, puedes hasta pintarlo a spray del color que requiera, para camuflarse mejor....Ver másMatthew Reeve

el último añoÚltima modificación: el último añoAs someone else said, a deck becomes an extension of the house. Perhaps you can find a way to expand the deck you have across the house with a section of pergola overhead to camouflage the less-than-ideal back of the house.
You could have the same wide deck you have from patio doors then blend a narrower portion of a version of this:
If you make the deck large enough, rethink the back lawn unless you need for children to run around If not, hire a landscape designer to create deep mulched beds along the border of the deck for viewing from the deck. Again, this extends the house.Gargamel
el último añoÚltima modificación: el último añoI’d do a combo. Plus a patio allows you to integrate your fire pit. I love the feeling of sitting ”in” the garden, with the patio surrounded with plants/shrubs etc. It all depends on what you need/want. I’m no artist—lol

el último añoHadn't thought of deck/patio combo, which looks great in the photos. So I have another thought if your current deck is in good shape. Replace the railings cable for an airier look that would visually provide sightline to circular patio as suggested.
Add circular patio in the middle of the yard with nice beds around it, especially foundation planting along the back façade.

el último añoThis idea of a round patio out in the yard from a small deck width of house addition and stepping stones connecting the two as in second photo. Install patio on the side of the house that's the largest to pull eye away from mass of back of the house. If patio is close enough to the house, then a curved foundation bed of shrubs, perennials, grasses, mulch can be appreciated from patio and deck.

el último añoÚltima modificación: el último añoWe just finished a combination of both. They serve different purposes, in my view--though our lot is also on a slope, so the deck was the only option to have space immediately outside the back door that was level and not down a short set of stairs. (Hard to tell from the photo but at some point part of the yard was leveled, so it's flat in the patio area and then drops down about 4' at the right edge of the photo, where the deck railing starts.) The deck is ~16' x 10' and then steps down to a slightly bigger patio. (This is an urban lot, so there is a little more yard off to the right in the photo, but not a ton--the lot is 50' across.) The deck will have seating for a breakfast/work-from-home area, plus elevated planters since it gets the best sun in the yard. The patio will have a larger table for outdoor dinners or hosting guests, and our grill is there since I didn't love the idea of having it on the wood. At some point I'd love to add some chairs and a gas fire pit. Both will need some shade--probably an umbrella, which is what we used to have on the concrete patio it replaced--since this is south-facing. I expect we will use the deck daily and the patio weekly (but we're also in a temperate climate where it's possible to sit outside most of the year, and where much of the year is dry).
FWIW ours cost about the same for about the same square footage, but that's likely in part because labor is the biggest cost where we live and they took about the same amount of time to build. (The deck is redwood and the patio is flagstone; both will involve some maintenance.)

el último añoOver the past two years, we have added a pergola with retractable shade to our deck as well as a patio inside our small fenced backyard. This has given us great flexibility for day-to-day living and when entertaining.

el último añoÚltima modificación: el último añoWe just went through the same decision. Although we have a large side patio for dining and a seating area, deciding on what to do at back of house was still important. Make a wish list based on how you function as a family and entertain. Then start looking at ideas and show/discuss when getting quotes.
Budget may end up being your decision maker. You may be shocked when you receive quotes. We added a 10x12 ft deck with two small staircases (did not even need footings!) and cost $16,000 (bought the wood prior to this summer’s price increase). A patio of the same size would have been more for a number of reasons.
There is no right or wrong, so research is really important to address your needs, and discover ideas you hadn’t thought of. Here is an idea I thought covered a lot of bases and see link for info, if interested.

el último añoIt depends—how will you use the space? Even with the coverage from your trees, will that be enough shade on a warm summer day? Do you envision dinners outside or is it meant more to be a casual place to rest at the end of the day? Do you want to use up more yard space so you don’t have to water as much grass? And how much maintenance are you willing to do? Typically wood decks need more TLC and pavers need less, however, pavers won’t be at level with your back porch and if that’s a priority you’ll need at least some decking. Ultimately, hiring a landscape professional might be your best bet as there are likely dozens of other considerations for your specific yard that a pro can help you figure out. For some inspiration, here are some decks, patios, and porches our team has designed and installed.

el último añoWe had a small wooden deck and a stamped concrete patio, and when it came time to restain and repair the deck again, we decided to just go with a paver patio. Best outdoor home improvement decision we've ever made! I added party lights this year, and we are actually surprised at how much time we now spend outside.
We had this done in 2021 for a little under $15,000 including demolition and removal of old deck and patio. (We are in Maryland)
(Note: The deck used to be twice as big before we had the kitchen enlarged, and the patio area was always muddy before it was paved)
