Designing a backyard patio in Utah is about more than just pouring concrete—it’s about creating a space that fits your lifestyle, complements your home, and holds up to the elements. Whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, or increasing your property value, the right layout makes all the difference.
At Farmington Landscaping, we help homeowners across Davis County design patios that are functional, beautiful, and built to last. Here are the five most popular patio layouts we’re seeing in Utah right now.
1. The Classic Square or Rectangle
Simple, timeless, and efficient. A square or rectangular patio layout works well for:
- Dining sets or grill stations
- Clean lines and symmetrical yards
- Easy expansion or connection to walkways
This layout is especially popular for attached patios right off the back door.
2. The Curved or Freeform Layout
A more organic look, curved patios add flow and softness to your yard. Perfect for:
- Garden integration
- Custom paver designs
- Homes with rounded architecture or natural landscaping
They’re also a smart solution for irregular lot shapes or sloped areas in Farmington.
3. The Multi-Level Patio
Split patios create separate zones for different activities. Use elevation changes for:
- Dining on the upper level, lounging on the lower
- Built-in seating or planter walls
- Maximizing space on uneven terrain
These are a top choice for larger backyards or homes on hillsides in east Davis County.
4. The Central Fire Pit Layout
Fire pits have become a must-have for Utah evenings. A centered fire pit layout is ideal for:
- Gathering with family and friends
- Adding warmth in spring and fall
- Creating a focal point in the backyard
Pair it with circular seating or built-in benches for a social, inviting design.
5. The Integrated Pergola Layout
Combine your patio with a pergola overhead to create a shaded, all-season space. This layout is great for:
- Outdoor dining and cooking stations
- Transition areas between indoors and outdoors
- Boosting resale value with a finished look
We offer complete pergola + patio packages that make this combo easy to plan and install.
