Howdy all. I'm looking for ideas for what kind of material to use for a patio. I'm going for a woodland type feel. Patio will not be used for dining, but rather for sitting/reading, etc... Kinda more of courtyard than a traditional patio. Looking at an area of maybe 400 sq ft.
My first thought of material is simply mulch. Any problems with doing this? There are already many areas around the house with mulch. I mulched about 500 sq ft last year around some shrubs/trees and am very pleased with the results.
Mulch for a patio/courtyard? Maybe some large pavers for a pathway? Anyone forsee any problems with this idea? Weed barrier fabric will certainly be used to control weeds.
Any input appreciated. Chris
