When your team returns to the office make sure they can take advantage of the fresh air. Now would be a great time for Adform Interiors to design and install a new outdoor patio space or renovate an existing one.
Our experienced crews have the know-how to get your hardscape construction job done. We specialize in commercial interior and exterior projects. We select and manage specialty trades, value-engineering services, and drawings. From paver installation (concrete, natural stone, granite, and more), retaining walls, entrances, sidewalks, water features, furnishings, lighting, millwork, and plantings – we are your go-to designer.
When deciding on the patio floor there are many options. Natural stone is very durable but can be slick when wet or icy. A concrete slab is cost-effective as well as concrete patio blocks which come in many shapes and colors. Artificial tiles handle the wear and tear well and are easy to clean, but can begin to look outdated over time.
When it comes to deciding on patio furniture, make sure your selection can withstand the elements. Some durable wood choices are teak and cedar. If you prefer metal furniture, stick with aluminum, or cast iron (rust-resistant powder coated). Select cushions that have ventilation and UV protection to prolong life from moisture and sun.
Shade is a big factor to consider in the layout of the patio space. If there is no shade your team won’t be able to use the patio in the hot summer months. Some solutions are umbrellas, vertical trellis, or a gazebo. Your patio could also be located near large trees for natural shade. To add serenity to the space a water feature can be incorporated.
Your patio can go from day to night with outdoor lighting. The patio can be an additional space for hosting receptions and retreats. Last but certainly not least, consider adding a grill!
