Summer 2025 Outdoor Patio Trends
1. Mixed Materials for a Modern Look
In 2025, patio design is all about contrast. Combining natural wood, stone, and composite materials creates a stylish and durable finish. Think stone pavers with wood accents or a sleek fire pit area with built-in composite benches.
Pro Tip: Choose materials that complement your home’s exterior for a seamless design.
2. Covered Patios & Pergolas
NJ weather can be unpredictable, so covered patios and pergolas are a must-have this year. Not only do they provide shade and protection, but they also add architectural interest to your backyard.
Popular in Middlesex and Somerset, covered patios help extend your outdoor season well into fall.
3. Built-In Seating & Outdoor Kitchens
Functionality is key in 2025. Homeowners are opting for built-in seating, outdoor bars, and fully equipped kitchens. If you love to host, this trend transforms your patio into an entertainer’s dream.
From pizza ovens to wine fridges, outdoor kitchens are the new must-have in home improvement.
4. Sustainable Landscaping & Eco Features
Go green with your patio! Incorporate drought-resistant plants, solar lighting, and permeable pavers to boost curb appeal while being eco-conscious.
Nick’s General specializes in custom landscaping to complement any patio design.
5. Cozy Patio Zones & Fire Features
Break up your patio space into intentional zones — think reading nook, dining area, and fire pit lounge. A gas or wood-burning fire pit adds warmth, ambiance, and a year-round gathering spot.
