A patio (/ˈptioʊ/,[1] from Spanish: patio [ˈpatjo]; "courtyard", "forecourt", "yard", "little garden") is an outdoor space generally used for dining or recreation that adjoins a structure and is typically paved.[2] In Australia, the term is expanded to include roofed structures such as a veranda, which provides protection from sun and rain.[3] Pronunciation can vary in Australia as well: patty-oh is perhaps more common generally although payshee-oh may be used by older Australians. [4]
Patios are most commonly paved with concrete or stone slabs (also known as paving flags). They can also be created using bricks, block paving, tiles, cobbles or gravel. Other kinds of patio materials these days include alumawood, aluminum, acrylic and glass. Other options include concrete, stamped concrete, and aggregate concrete.
Patio is also a general term used for outdoor seating at restaurants, especially in Canadian English. While common in Europe even before 1900, eating outdoors at restaurants in North America was exotic until the 1940s. The Hotel St. Moritz in New York in the 1950s advertised itself as having the first true continental cafe with outdoor seating. The Toronto Star welcomed that city's first patio in the 1960s. In the United States, having a warmer and sunnier climate than Northern Europe, outdoor dining grew rapidly in the 1960s and today is a popular dining experience in the warmer parts of the mainland.[5]
This place is great. No frills - just good ol' fashion Tex-Mex and margaritas. It's a classic college restaurant, with the food and drinks being inexpensive. Our server was the nicest guy. This place might get overlooked if you aren't a student, but it's definitely worth stopping in and having an enchilada.
If you want to try a real authentic Austin tex-Mex restaurant, el patio is the place to go. The portions are huge, the tasty margaritas have a kick, and you couldn't ask for a friendlier staff. This is my go-to spot whenever I visit Austin. Hook Em horns!

The Project Accelerator Transition Innovation Office (PATIO) helps to translate scientific and technological breakthroughs into real-world products and services. We deliver impact through a suite of services provided to Program Managers and ARPA-H funded performers.
Our services span the lifecycle of ARPA-H projects and programs, from concept development to graduation. ARPA-H encourages a sense of urgency, from term limits on Program Managers to time-bound, aggressive technical milestones on our R&D efforts. This urgency means we have to start paving the path to success at the same time as we are developing the science.
The mission of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is to ensure the safety, efficacy, and security of health innovations. ARPA-H builds unprecedented technologies that nobody else can, which may not fit into traditional FDA approval pathways. Without a strategy, the regulatory process quickly becomes unclear and prohibitively expensive to navigate, especially for a small lab, business, or non-traditional performer. PATIO works closely with the FDA and external regulatory experts to demystify the process, provide consultation directly to performers and programs, and coordinate with regulators. We also provide similar services to help performers navigate CMS and get reimbursement approval for their new technologies.
ARPA-H is a solution-based organization; it does not conduct basic or incremental research. To have a solution means solving a well-defined problem. Customer discovery is the process of understanding the person or people for whom you are solving the problem. For example, if an innovation helps a surgeon, PATIO will help ensure that performers understand the hospital workflow, payment considerations, and user experience of a surgeon.
We are invested in the long-term success of performers, so we provide expert guidance on areas like business models and intellectual property. We recognize that this support is especially important for young and newly formed companies.
The PATIO team has been an invaluable partner in the successful construction, launch, and execution of our first ARPA-H programs. The team actively engages with Program Managers, listening to and anticipating our needs.
ARPANET-H is our formal and growing nation-wide network of partners. It consists of two consortia: a customer experience network focused on people (patients, communities, providers), and an investor catalyst network focused on markets (commercialization, regulatory, reimbursement). Partners participate in ARPA-H projects, compete for B2B style contracts, obtain support, and join a community of likeminded organizations.
HEET cultivates a multidisciplinary, on-demand ecosystem that represents our broad cross-section of stakeholders. HEET proactively organizes ecosystem trips to ensure we incorporate different perspectives and develop relationships with people and groups across the country. These trips can take the form of anything from arranging ARPA-H participation at major speaking events to small group interactions and informal discussions.
We kept almost all the furniture Target, but switched out the dining chairs. Like I said yesterday that loveseat is extremely comfortable and is wiping up really easily, and that pouf is obviously a good one for multiple spaces. We brought a couple indoor pillows out (that black and white with tassels from Target, and my favorite round blush linen from Canvas home), and then I borrowed that stunning throw from Lost and Found LA.
That copper shaker is from Nickey Kehoe, the runner is from Lost and Found, black and white blanket and wood beads from Target and the Galvanized tray from Rolling Greens. I ended up buying the blue glasses (that color!) from Lost and Found, the tray (outdoor trays are hard to find) and the candle holder from Potted.
In general I like usually only put annuals or cannas in containers as it freezes here in the winter. I had a tree form rose once on my balcony. It was beautiful, but died in the winter even when I brought it inside. I think most gardeners replace their container plants regularly due to the fact that they like seasonal interest. So when the roses start looking bad, I would plant in the ground. Then I would buy something else for the containers.
How did you hang the copper string lights on along your house and the railings? I would love to know because I have a similar setting and would love to do this!! Thanks!! Beautiful space, I have been looking forward to this post!
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S8, it is no wonder that Samsung is looking to dominate the emergent flagship smartphone market with the new Galaxy S9. The Galaxy S9 is said to be the obe flagship which will be the most hard to beat. With stunning display and very good features, we expect that this smartphone will be the flagship killer to kill first! If you want to know more about the device, then you must check out my site
Beautiful, all around lovely. I have to say, i think that window on your second story up above the french doors is just DYING for a windowbox. With cascading plants down to fill that space between the top of the doors and the bottom of the window. Talk about English cottage charm!!
This is a stunning space. My favorite space you have designed in a long time. I love that you showed it with some of the more one of a kind pieces in addition to the almost all Target pieces. Target is making some great things but that version did feel a little generic to me. This shows that just adding a few special pieces makes a big difference. Congratulations on a really beautiful patio that I hope you and your family will enjoy for years to come.
I do not recommend pea gravel only as surface for a porch or any area seeing foot traffic. It has a tendency to move underfoot and may detract from your enjoyment that area over time. I used it for the surface of the flower bed, but on the porch and foot path used large stepping stones.
Laying the pavers in a straight line: Lay a chalk line if you have one, or you can simply tie any rope or line to 2-3 stakes. Stretch them along the path where you want the pavers and hammer them into the ground.
Did the color of the pea gravel change over time? i see in the picture where you first dumped it, it looks more yellow but in your finished product pictures its more neutral/white. I just completed a similar project and the stones look very yellow ? I am hoping it is dirt that will wash off.
This is an explosive idea; this is most probably the best and most successful thing about building backyard paver patio. I love this blog and really happy to come across this exceptionally well written content. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Gerardo,
Have experienced and weeds growing up through your pathway pavers?
A few years ago, I constructed a pathway similar to your and I now have weeds popping up.
Like you, I laid out the weed barrier and covered it decorator stone (about 1/2 inch in size) to a depth of 1/2 inch.
What do you think caused the weeds to appear>
2) We are doing metal edging, but are having a hard time deciding which brand and metal to use. How did you decide on the aluminum edging? And looking back, would you still pick that same product? We are between your choice and Col-Met steel edging.
Hi Mahura, Regarding the dirt, I would check Homeadvisor.com to find someone in your area that does waste disposal. I had a giant pile of extra dirt after this project and I think it cost me $250 to have them come shovel it into their truck and haul it away. Well worth the price. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your back yard project!
Pam's Patio Kitchen and Wine and Beer Bar is a San Antonio Restaurant with outdoor seating serving fresh and unique salads, sandwiches, pizzas, soups, nachos, and cupcakes at lunch. Dinner is more upscale with steaks, fresh salmon and other seafood dishes, several taco and pasta dishes, and even a few Thai specialties as well. Like all of our food, our cakes and desserts are made from scratch right here in our kitchen! Outdoor patio seating under our big oak trees is wonderful at both lunch or dinner.
