patio

A patio is an outdoor space, typically paved or covered with stone, concrete, or bricks, designed for leisure and social activities. Often located next to a house, it serves as an area for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. Patios can be simple or elaborate, sometimes featuring furniture, plants, or decorative elements. They provide a functional extension of indoor living space, allowing enjoyment of the outdoors in privacy and comfort. Patios are popular in residential landscaping for their versatility and ability to create a welcoming outdoor environment.
