Enjoy Making Memories Outdoors by Including a Multi-Tiered Paver Patio to Your Sherborn, MA, Landscape Design
Spending time outdoors can result in some of the most cherished memories that you will ever make with family and friends. There is not much better than relaxing in your backyard with a drink in hand and having intimate conversations with the people you care about most. When it comes to a new Sherborn, MA, landscape design, you may want to consider a multi-tiered paver patio, to encourage many repeat visits from friends and families and more opportunities to create lasting memories in your outdoor living space.
Separate Areas for Different Purposes
When you have a multi-tiered paver patio, you would be creating separate outdoor spaces for different purposes. It allows each area to act as an individual outdoor “room.” For example, your outdoor kitchen can have its own space for adults to prepare a meal and enjoy time alone, while the kids can be down below swimming in the pool area, while you would still have a good view of them in the water. It will create a more intimate feel in each space since it is separated from the others, unlike a mostly flat landscape design where the different areas might be very close together.
A Customized Design for Each Tier
By having a multi-tier patio, you can customize the design of each tier. Although you will most likely want a cohesive appearance, you can get creative with different colors, shapes, and patterns in each tier. You can choose pavers that are similar in color and shape, but your landscape contractor could utilize different laying patterns to create individuality with each patio’s tier.
More Outdoor Features
Depending on your available space, in a traditional landscape design, you may not have the space to have all of the outdoor features you desire such as a gathering spot around a fire feature (an outdoor fireplace or fire pit), outdoor kitchen, and swimming pool, but with the addition of multiple tiers, you could be opening up additional spaces for such features.
The lowest tier of your paver patio area could be utilized for a swimming pool and then have steps with a walkway that may flow into a fire pit area with a stunning retaining wall. If you have the space for another tier on your paver patio, you could potentially have an outdoor kitchen built.
The steps and retaining walls that are used to separate the different tiers can double as seating areas if needed, which makes even more use of the additional space.
Additional Beautiful Plantings
With the addition of more levels, you will have more space to add in potted plantings throughout your multi-tier patio. The stairs and walkways that separate each tier can be lined with shrubs, and retaining walls can be utilized to plant stunning flowers.
In effect, you will be curating a more spectacular and more vertical view for your landscape—one that looks beautiful from any angle, whether you are hanging out on one of the patios or lounging on the grass looking up at it.
