The area looks as though it will be a real hot-box. And the dull, dark colour will absorb the heat. I would suggest that you consider a much lighter and glossy paint for the surrounding walls and then the large pot in the centre. Many succulents burn as badly as any other plant when exposed to high heat, especially when in a pot. Also for consideration after changing the wall colour is a small tree like one of the smaller crepe myrtles. Once you have a canopy you can then underplant with small ground covering succulents or liriopes. I would steer clear of the white stones - they are a fad and will die out. EVERYone is using them and they are really boring. We need more trees in our gardens and there is definitely a place for a small tree in every garden. Trees provide depth. Unfortunately most people can't realise this.

If you can put doors on the whole back area and deck or pave out to a functional size for entertaining - be sure to have as close to same height as inside and the whole width of the house if possible. You could do the pergola which looks gorgeous and makes a cozy feel. On top of the pergola you may be able to do a weatherproof retractable awning if you do not want a permanent covered area. That would make a whole area for indoor outdoor entertaining in all types of weather. You can still have a step down area to grass and plants at the rear. Travetine is great and easy to hose down. You do not have to concrete them down use pavers on a good road base. You would have to speak to the experts about how to get the right height - also be sure to have a slight fall away from the house.

Hi there, Ensuring proper waterproofing for your concrete cellar's outdoor patio is crucial to prevent any water seepage issues. While it's essential to consult with a professional tiler for your specific project, I'd like to provide some general advice. At Seal It Waterproofing, we specialize in waterproofing solutions for various surfaces, including outdoor patios. While some thin porcelain tiles are designed for outdoor use and may have water-resistant properties, it's generally a good practice to apply a waterproofing membrane to add an extra layer of protection, especially in areas prone to moisture exposure. We recommend considering a high-quality waterproofing membrane that is suitable for your outdoor application. This membrane can provide a reliable barrier against water penetration and help ensure the longevity of your patio. Additionally, it's essential to ensure proper installation techniques and attention to detail during the tiling process to maintain the effectiveness of the waterproofing. For a personalized assessment and tailored waterproofing solutions, please visit our website at Seal It Waterproofing or contact our experts. We'll be happy to assist you in making the best decision to protect your outdoor patio from water damage. Best regards, Yuksel Genc Seal It Waterproofing Website
