Adding a patio to your commercial property is a great way to provide outdoor living options to your customers and employees. Carefully-designed patios can be the perfect bridge between your buildings and your landscape, and they provide an easy location for outdoor meals, meetings, and social events. When designing your new patio, it is important to consider what your current buildings and landscape look like in order to select materials, colors, and furniture that match your existing property nicely.

Because your commercial patio will be used by far more people than residential patios are, it is crucial to choose a material that can withstand heavy use. Concrete, stone, wood, and brick are among the most common materials that are used to build patios. Many commercial patio owners stick to brick or concrete, as these tend to be sturdier than other materials.

Deciding on the best material and color for your patio is also closely linked to the appearance of the rest of your property. Many commercial patios are painted in a neutral shade of gray or brown, as these shades are likely to blend well with the colors of buildings and landscapes. Before selecting a material be sure to request several samples in similar shades and compare them to the paint of your buildings in order to know exactly what the paint will look like against the backdrop of your buildings once it is dry.

Furniture and other accents can transform your patio into a beautiful outdoor gathering place. Be sure to purchase high-quality outdoor furniture made from materials that hold up to weather and heavy use well in order to keep your patio looking its best for years to come. Table umbrellas, cushions, and outdoor pillows can be great ways to add a pop of color to your new patio. Large table umbrellas provide protection from hot sun and light rain, and pillows and cushions add beauty and comfort to your patio. These items can be purchased in colors that match your business's color scheme, or you can rotate them throughout the year to match your seasonal color program.

Even the most carefully-planned landscapes show signs of wear and appear outdated over time. Old, run-down properties show potential customers that property owners do not care enough to invest time and effort into taking care of their properties, which can decrease their opinions of the businesses.
