Back Yard Patio

A past client of ours wanted a back patio for her home.  Although most of our work is in the interior of the home, MHI Interiors was up for the challenge. 

1st Challenge - Access patio from inside home. 
Solution:  The room had an existing window, we cut a hole for a new Pella Doorwall in a room used as an office.
2nd Challenge - Client wanted a stone look, but did not want pavers.
Solution:  We used colored, textured stamped concrete.  A pattern was made at the base of the patio to simulate brick paver.
3rd Challenge: Client wanted a hot tub at same level of patio. 
Solution:  We framed the area along with concrete footings.  The hot tub has easy access from the patio.
4th Challenge - Shade was needed.
Solution: Designed and constructed a Cedar Pergola.

The final product gave our client an extension to her living space.
