Backyard Patio Must-Haves

Outdoor living trends come and go, but these items will make your backyard patio beautiful and comfortable for years to come.

Creating a captivating backyard patio is about more than just arranging furniture and potted plants. It's about designing a space that seamlessly blends comfort, functionality, and aesthetics. At Archadeck, our goal is to create an ideal backyard patio for relaxation, entertainment, and connection with nature. Our patio designs are thoughtfully planned and installed with the highest-quality materials. To achieve this, there are several must-haves that can transform your backyard patio into an inviting oasis. Here are a few ideas that will make yours truly unique and usable!

Shade or Shelter to Create a Covered Patio

There needn’t be a day of light rain that keeps you indoors instead of enjoying your patio. Archadeck has myriad options for creating the perfect covered patio for your needs. Whether that be a pergola-covered patio for partial sun protection or one that has a full patio roof. We will assess your needs through a complimentary in-home design consultation to arrive at your ideal level of patio shade or shelter.

Patio Lighting for Ultimate Usability

Patio lighting offers flexibility for use of your backyard in dark hours. Hosting an outdoor dinner party, having a nightcap, or sipping early morning coffee is perfectly accommodated with proper patio lighting. Archadeck can help you design your patio from the ground up to include lighting in all the right places, so your backyard is ultimately usable, no matter your purpose.

Outdoor Kitchens for Toronto Patios

Over the last decade, outdoor kitchens have solidified themselves as more than a patio trend. Toronto area homeowners have quickly learned that outdoor kitchens offer the utmost convenience for entertaining or private use. There is really something special about hosting a meal completely outdoors. From utensil and food storage to food preparation and on to outdoor waste receptacles, Archadeck can design a kitchen that will allow you to complete a whole meal without use of your indoor kitchen or dining area. Our Toronto outdoor kitchen designs will make you the host (or hostess) with the most.

Backyard Patio Fire Features

We would be remiss not to include patio fire features in our patio must-haves list. Like outdoor kitchens, patios throughout Toronto have never been made more beautiful and usable than with custom fire features. Archadeck will not only help you choose the perfect outdoor fireplace or fire pit for your patio design, but we will also take care of all the required permitting based on your location.

Obscure Your Backyard Patio with Privacy Screens

Many of our clients do not have privacy fences but wish to obscure their outdoor living space. Our Design Consultants can ensure that your design is perfectly situated for the utmost privacy. In addition to patio placement and orientation, we can further include privacy by way of patio privacy screens. We can install prefabricated materials or build a privacy screening system to complement your specific design and level of privacy.
