How to Plan a Backyard Patio in Toronto
Start with use and circulation, then size the patio and choose materials with confidence.
List the activities before drawing the shape
Dining, lounging, cooking and play need different clearances. Map furniture and walking routes first so the finished patio is comfortable.
Resolve elevations early
Door thresholds, steps, existing lawns, fences and neighbouring grades can limit finished patio height. These constraints should be measured before material selection.
Plan future features now
Conduit, gas, electrical, pergola footings and drainage are easier to coordinate before the base and surface are installed.
Tell us about the project
