The sunny afternoons and cool evenings of fall lend themselves well to outdoor dining. This outdoor dining table is perfect for entertaining small groups of eight to 12 people.

Notice the removable space heater for those slightly colder nights and the invitingly landscaped backyard for friends and family to enjoy.

 

4. The Pool Party

If you’re one of those folks with an open pool in fall, this outdoor pool and patio design may be right up your alley. Not only can you enjoy the high-quality, complimentary pavers, but you can also appreciate a well-landscaped yard from the comforting glow of your fireplace.

Want another layer of visual interest? Composite decking is an attractive option that provides even more entertainment space. This is perfect for those hosting late-season pool parties with people going in and out of the water.

 

5. The Gathering Place

For a warm, inviting, yet neoclassical look, this outdoor paver patio is an excellent option. You can watch visitors fall in love with your clean-cut paver design, then gather around your fire pit for good music, good food, and good fellowship.

Keep in mind your fire pit doesn’t have to be an above-ground design. You can always opt for a more traditional recessed pit or even a rectangular gas-powered range.

 

6. The Adjustable Space

Do you expect to host a gathering with large, multi-member groups? If so, an adjustable two-part patio design may be in your best interests. Not only can you create an underdeck entertainment area, but you can also build a raised patio space for hangouts in better weather.

Notice the beautiful paver steps and open beds ready for landscaping. To maximize this space, you may want to opt for lower-light plants such as hostas, ferns, and other eye-catching species.

 

7. The Private Getaway

Maybe you intend to host just a few people, or want to relax with your friends without the stress of prying eyes. This enclosed outdoor entertainment space comes with a beautiful privacy fence so you can recharge with R&R in a cozy, intimate setting.

The Private Getaway is a great design for those with hot tubs or below-ground pools. Not only can you host parties without the stress of unwanted onlookers, but you can also decorate your fence to maximize its interior appeal.
