Patio Plans
How To Create A Great Patio Design
Patio Plans For Inspiration is an ebook I created to help both homeowners and professionals create beautiful patio designs. 
I know many struggle with many aspects such as materials, shape, creating levels, steps, pergolas, seat walls, size and so on.
With 15 years experience and a degree in Landscape Architecture, I have come to know what many of the issues and problems are with patio plans and decisions. This book provides both professional information and detailed images on many of these aspects.
What Will You Get In This Book? - Nine different patios that I have designed
- Designs done in 3D so that you can really see what they look like
- Other types of drawings
- Project photos showing the "afters"
- Curved patios
- Geometric patios
- Terraced patios
- Patios with pergolas done in 3d with finished photos...one was featured on on the Nate Berkus show this past year!
- See how and where seat walls are placed and sized.
- Learn about many different paving materials and how they can be used.
- See how various paving materials look different.
- See how steps are used in a creative way.
- Read about why I designed something the way I did so you can do the same.
There aren't many places, if any, that you can find a collection of professional patio designs. Perhaps some of you have read the extensive patio information on my website and found it helpful. Seeing the actual designs in this ebook will help you even more to create that "wow" patio! I was encouraged to put my actual patio designs that I had done for clients in an easy to understand book. Drawings, photos and explanations are all there...from a professional landscape designer with 15 years experience. I've been through all the road blocks and will show you how to address them for a successful project.

Read What Others Have Said About Patio Plans for InspirationTestimonials I think the Patio Plans ebook is wonderful - the content would be exceptionally helpful not only for homeowners, but for other designers. The content itself is stellar, and would be of great value for anyone designing a patio . I love the way you present your ideas in Sketchup (3D). They're very easy to envision and even homeowners would be able to understand your designs easily, which is hard to do sometimes from a written plan. I love the innovation that was used in varying the designs, too. Gen Schmidt

Susan’s expertise speaks through in this book – obviously, her experience in putting together plans and plants for other people is a journey that has taught the most important thing about landscaping – comfort. Homeowners need to feel that their landscape is their own, even if someone else has designed it for them. Having access to an e-book that can illustrate this most important concept in its most fundamental will encourage and assist the novice and the more experienced landscaper. Seeing is believing; and learning how to recognize a good design and apply it is a talent well worth cultivating. As a Certified Horticulturist and xeriscaping expert, I’ve found that I’m very attracted to hardscapes that can be used as a backdrop to some of my favorite Drought Smart Plants, and patios fit the bill perfectly.

I was looking for a plan incorporating a pergola, or patio cover, into the design and found just what I was looking for. Downloading and reading the book was the easy part, now it’s time to get out into the yard and get to work. My yard will be a do-it-yourself project, between the detailed CAD drawing and the 3D illustration, following the design will be no problem. Before getting into the shade business I spent some time as a landscaper. I feel I know exactly what Susan had in mind from the detailed drawing and will have no problem following the plan to perfection. These plans could be given to any landscaper and the results should be exactly as shown in the illustrations. Building awnings and landscaping yards is not for everyone, but you need some good ideas in mind before you call out the contractors. In my sales days I hated it when a customer would have me come out and expect me to have all the ideas. On the other hand, I loved it when they called me out and showed me exactly what they wanted. So whether you are a do-it-yourselfer, or you plan to hire out the work, the information in this book should be beneficial. Patio Plans For Inspiration is a top notch professional piece of work.
