We recently built a new home and our lot was an undeveloped, wooded lot. Metro GreenScape transformed the lot into a well-manicured, be autifully landscaped yard with green grass and natural areas, while maintaining the natural trees all around. It was amazing to watch the transformation in only a few short days. We couldn't be more satisfied with the result. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE! They really know their business. Every detail of the landscaping process was explained, so that we would know exactly what we were getting. Dealing with them was a real pleasure. Not only are they knowledgeable about landscaping, they are also punctual and very reasonably priced. The finished product was even better than we had expected.

Patios 
Extending Your Indoor Living Outside.
The ideal landscape plan has both growing plants and hardscape elements that allow you and your family to physically enjoy the beauty of your outdoor spaces. Patios, walkways and paths are the elements that give you that access. A path or walkway lets you move around and enjoy every corner of your home's landscaping, while a patio or deck invites you to stay for a while and take time to be refreshed in your own "oasis."

The Spanish and the Mexican cultures gave us patios because they understood how pleasant a cool evening outdoors could be in hotter climates, where life begins as the workday ends and the sun retreats. Latinos have traditionally designed outdoor patios with indoor-style amenities like fireplaces, ovens and benches for gathering. Shady walls and surrounding garden elements naturally connect the living space with the outdoors.

If space, slope and budget permit, patios can give a more formal, more permanent feel to your landscape master plan. Never have there been more materials to choose from and the list grows every day, so you don’t have to settle for a no-personality gray concrete patio!
At Metro GreenScape, we use various kinds of materials to artistically create your dream patio:
- Interlocking pavers are growing the fastest in popularity. Flexible in design, they come in a spectrum of colors and styles, can be easily repaired, and require little or no maintenance.
- Traditional masonry, like brick, fired tile and natural stone are popular premium materials for creating a beautiful custom patio.
- Use both wood and masonry to vary the texture and color of your patio area; you might even consider creating different levels, varying the materials for each one.
- Don’t overlook poured concrete; although the use of concrete can be more cost effective, it is only a matter of time before it cracks even with the use of expansion joints. Concrete is near impossible to match color over time and cracks are even harder to cover. Pavers are very easy to replace if there is an issue and the color can be matched for many years to come.
- Travertine stone is a beautiful upgrade to the traditional concrete paver. The variety of sizes can create a gorgeous pattern around a larger pool area or an intimate feeling in a small courtyard. The lighter colors reflect the sun and can be very cool to the touch versus a warmer concrete.
Our professional outdoor living designers can create an outdoor patio that is functional and visually appealing. Call us at 704.504.0980.
