Shade is absolutely essential in any Las Vegas outdoor remodel. Here at Terra Mia, we’ve seen the difference a covered patio and pergola can make in a sun-soaked region like ours.
So, as you’re envisioning your renovation, make sure to start from here and then build your design around the shaded central area.
Pools are so popular here in Las Vegas, and the reason is obvious! Whether you already have one or are looking to make it more inviting, here are a few tips to maximizing this water feature in your backyard:
If you don’t have a pool, don’t worry! Consider incorporating a stand-alone water feature in your Las Vegas backyard to create a sense of calm.
As it turns out, plants and trees don’t only lower the temperature of your backyard patio by providing shade. They also go through a process called evapotranspiration, which pulls vapor from the water in the soil and releases it into the surrounding air. So, if you’re thinking of clever ways to make your Las Vegas patio more inviting, improving your landscaping is a great idea!
The trick is to find plants and trees that will thrive in our natural habitat. Cacti and palm trees are two obvious choices for a Las Vegas backyard, but there are many other varieties of plants that can transform your space.
One outdoor renovation technique that can completely transform your space is an upgrade to your home’s siding. After all, if you don’t like the current look of your home, you probably won’t enjoy being outside where you can see it all day.
Thoughtful siding replacement can also make your outdoor space more livable by incorporating colors and materials that decrease UV reflection. Terra Mia can help you choose a color palette that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for your patio.
Natural stone pavers are a clear choice for Las Vegas outdoor patios because they will stay cool to the touch and are more durable than concrete pavers. And, they come in a variety of colors to give you more flexibility with your patio design.
If you want to maximize your outdoor space, make sure that it offers something for everyone in your home.
If you have kids, for example, you may want to incorporate a shaded play area or open space for lawn games. Or, if your family loves to entertain, you’ll want to think about a seating arrangement that encourages connection and conversation.
And, don’t forget about the pets! You might consider having a separate part of your backyard for furry family members where they can roll in grass, play fetch, and do their business.
Whether you have a grill master in the family or you enjoy a good brick-oven pizza, the right outdoor kitchen can elevate your Las Vegas patio.
Here at Terra Mia, we always ask our clients what elements they need to cook comfortably. From full-sized sinks to mini fridges to stovetop ranges and ovens, we can create an outdoor setup that will inspire you to cook outside.
A good outdoor renovation makes sure that you can enjoy your space during the day and at night. Your shaded area, for instance, can be outfitted with string lights so that you don’t have to move the party inside even when the sun goes down.
You’ll also want to make sure that all walkways are clearly marked with lights so that you can more easily move around your backyard at night.
When you want to create a space that will lead to more family time, entertaining, or moments of peace, having a professional designer in your corner is key! Terra Mia helps with design development, material sourcing, project management and more for an outdoor renovation you’ll love!
