Patio

This is an example of an eclectic side yard patio in Dallas with a container garden, stamped concrete and a roof extension.

Our recent covered patio addition in Forney, TX illustrates just how much luxury we pour into our custom designs. The fireplace, kitchen base and columns were all built from chopped white limestone, which matches the stone on the home. Gray Lueders stone was used atop the kitchen countertops, the stone columns and on the fireplace mantel. The profile of the covered patio is just a beautiful from the back as it is from the front.

This patio features a colored, stamped patio with a hand-painted (with concrete stain) inset compass rose and a single-beam pergola. The back yard space complements a mediterranean theme throughout the home.

We used beautiful Oklahoma chopped stone throughout—for the gas-burning fireplace, kitchen area, privacy wall and columns.

Inspiration for a small eclectic side yard patio in Dallas with a container garden, stamped concrete and a roof extension.

This is a 28-ft., L-shaped outdoor kitchen and bar with an 8-inch backsplash. For the stonework we used San Saba sawn Autumn Blend chopped stone. The beautiful counters are chocolate Lueders limestone. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with the following appliances: Turbo griddle, Grand Turbo grill, Big Green Egg smoker, True coolers, True icemaker, and Turbo trash can. The backsplash features illuminated electrical outlets that are covered for safety.

You don’t need to search for anyone else to design and build your vertical hardscapes. Beautiful hardscapes are among our specialties at Archadeck of NE Dallas-Southlake. The hardscapes we designed and installed in this project include an outdoor fireplace, U-shaped outdoor kitchen, and stone privacy wall—all custom-designed for this home.

The patio roof’s shingles match those of the home. The beautiful, tongue-and-groove wood ceiling features recessed lighting and four ceiling fans. An area this large needs more than the customary one or two ceiling fans. Notice that a portion of this patio is not covered. The homeowners can enjoy sitting in the sunshine on cooler days, and they have the option to sit out under the stars at night. Most of the supporting posts are designed as columns wrapped in cedar, while two in the outdoor kitchen area are wrapped in stone to match the kitchen and fireplace stonework.

We added an open gable roof over the patio to supply maximum shade. We were able to match the home’s shingles, so although it’s an addition, it blends in and looks original to the home. The ceiling of this patio cover is tongue-and-groove pine that we stained with walnut color. For continuity, we replaced the original ceiling (the one over the tiny, builder-grade concrete pad) with the same walnut-stained tongue-and-groove design to match the new ceiling. We also installed a “back boy” wall in the covered portion to add aesthetics as well as a “chicken foot” Queen truss at the gable end. The posts supporting the patio cover are wrapped in cedar for a rich, finished appearance. All painted areas and gutters were done in a chocolate color to match the house.

We designed a U-shaped outdoor kitchen that includes a grill, sink, refrigerator and kegerator. We were able to build the kitchen structure with bricks matching those of the home’s exterior. Along the outer portion of the U-shaped kitchen, the bricks follow an exquisite diagonal herringbone pattern. The interior side of the outdoor kitchen features the same bricks but laid in a traditional running bond brick pattern. The kitchen countertops are gray Lueders stone, a very popular choice for today’s outdoor kitchens.

To refresh the covered patio area Archadeck poured a brand new stain and stamp patio and did an overlay on the existing covered patio. We stamped the entire concrete patio with an ashlar slate stamp and Roman slate texture and applied an autumn brown stain with a charcoal release.

We extended the client's existing patio using supportive brick columns. The columns were built using the same Meridian Burlington Antique brick of that on the home’s facade. We also matched the hip roof addition for the covered patio to the shingles and style used on the home. The addition of the columns and roof make the extension structurally sound and ties the extension into the home with that always been there appeal Archadeck is known for.

The patio cover consists of a hip roof matching the home’s roof in style and color. We used pine tongue-and-groove boards for the interior ceiling and stained the ceiling in dark walnut. For the homeowners’ comfort and convenience, we installed ceiling fans and recessed canned lighting overhead. We painted the patio cover’s trim and posts in a chocolate color to match the trim on the house.
