Backyard Patio Ideas

I’m looking out the window at two feet of snow and I’m daydreaming about patio ideas.  Spring is coming, and I’m thinking about putting in a patio in the backyard where my firepit now sits.

I found this funky round patio design in Sunset magazine.  It is made out of colored stones and stained concrete.  I love the spiral design.

The recycled letters in this patio design add a bit of humor.  Not your traditional old patio style.

This patio design is a little more extravagant than the first two.  I again like the round patio design, and the combination of water and fire give it a totally peaceful feel.  I could picture myself curled up in that chair with a good book.

You can find more patio design photos in this article in Sunset magazine.
