As your chosen San Antonio patio contractors, Archadeck can help you decide the type of patio that is right for your needs.
Designing a patio for your home isn’t only about choosing the right materials. It’s about creating an outdoor living space that matches your lifestyle, one that complements your home’s architecture, and maximizes usability. At Archadeck of San Antonio Hill Country, we specialize in designing patios that reflect the way our clients live, relax, and entertain outdoors.
When considering your patio design options, it helps to think about how much shade and shelter you’d like, how you’ll use the space, and what upgrades will make it uniquely yours.
Open patios are a great choice for homeowners who love soaking up the sun and enjoying the open air. They’re also great for those who wish to use their patio mostly outside of full-sun hours or beneath their existing shade trees. Without a roof structure or pergola, you’ll have unobstructed views of the sky. San Antonio open patios are perfect for lounging with a good book, hosting an evening dinner party, or sipping your morning coffee outdoors.
Open patios are especially versatile when it comes to design. They can be built with concrete, pavers, natural stone, or stamped-and-stained concrete. While open patio designs offer no protection from the elements, they are wide-open for the addition of umbrellas or shade sails.
If you’d like to escape the Hill Country sun while still enjoying your backyard, a covered patio might be your ideal option. A roof structure provides shade, protection from rain, and an overall cooler environment. San Antonio patio covers are also vehicles for added amenities, such as ceiling fans, radiant heating installation, and overhead lighting, making your patio ultimately usable.
Partially Covered Patios: Have the Best of Both Worlds
Not sure if you want full sun or full shade? No problem! A partially covered patio offers unmatched flexibility. This design provides a balance between open-air spaces and protected areas. For example, part of your patio may have a solid roof for dining, while the other half remains uncovered for sunbathing or stargazing.
Partially covered patios are also an excellent solution for expansive backyards that benefit from defined zones, such as a grilling area in the open section and a dining space with cozy TV lounge beneath the roof.
