Creating the Perfect Garden Oasis Patio

After a hard day at work there is nothing more relaxing than sitting outside on a patio swing in a beautifully designed garden oasis patio.  Surrounded by ferns and other tropical plants would complete the scene. Natural looking flagstone landscaping underfoot creates the effect of walking down a tropical path.

Gazebo Landscape


By adding a gazebo landscape you will be creating another area, possibly away from the house or maybe near a pool, for entertaining or just relaxing.  These sturdily built structures are attractive and also come in easy to assemble kits made of resin but give the look of wood.

Then if the structure has lattice work or pillars, then the gazebo landscape could include some type of climbing vine that might include honeysuckle, clematis, ivy, etc.  To create the perfect place for entertainment or even a romantic escape, you would also hand miniature lights around the perimeter at roof level, giving the area a soft glow.  The possibilities are incredible, waiting for your own creativity to be added to the mix.

Long Lasting Flagstone Landscaping

Adding a flagstone landscape allows your guests to meander around your garden oasis patio and out to the gazebo landscape.  This invites all who enter your tropical paradise to enjoy every corner.  Having different destination areas for entertaining such as the gazebo or patio allows the guests to spread out and not be cramped into one small area.

If you do a lot of entertaining you may want to consider adding an outdoor kitchen or fireplace.  This is a great way to visit with your guests while preparing the meal.  If the evening becomes cool the outdoor fireplace will warm the garden oasis patio nicely. A gazebo with a fireplace and spa would create the ultimate romantic space.

You do not want to ruin the relaxing atmosphere of your garden oasis patio with the clutter of garden equipment or children's toys. It would be a good idea to add some attractive storage that blends with the landscape design.  There are many ready made products or easy to assemble kits on the market for storage.

Visit your local home improvement center.  They will sometimes have gazebos, storage structures, outdoor kitchens or fireplaces assembled so that you can easily visualize the finished product.  By looking online you see many photos and find a design for your own garden oasis patio or gazebo landscape.  You can even order online and have stone for your flagstone landscape shipped directly to your door.
