Designing a Curved Level Patio Adjacent to the House

Allen advises placing a level patio on the same level as the house door for easy carrying of items. The patio should be as large as possible in proportion to the home with a minimum of 9 by 12 feet and curved shapes rather than square to enhance aesthetics. Add interest with small plant spaces and consider redwood timbers set in four foot squares to break the concrete monotony.
