Small Patio Designs

This small patio has an exquisite circular design of round tiles. The overall theme has an oriental, yet contemporary look. The fence is made out of rusted metal bi-fold panels, which open and close. The rounds are repeated throughout the backyard, in the fence, the patio, the plants and round tray.

This small patio is placed on a narrow lot and the base of the patio is made of fine gravel. Beautiful small grafted trees have been placed in large containers front and back of the patio. There is a small bed of shrubs along with the potted trees for greenery; so if you don't like cutting grass this is ideal.
