Italian Patio Courtyard Plan
Except for a few plants and a little grow time, this courtyard patio is finished.
The design plan you see here is incomplete as far as specifics like plants and ground covers. The reason for this is that this drawing was completed while the patio and courtyard walls were being placed. In other words, I didn't have an exact plan until we drew it on the ground. Then I drew for you to see here.
Deciding on which areas of the patio design would be planting beds and which would be pavers was first a consideration of access. There is convenient access to all areas leading in and out of the courtyard. You shouldn't have to walk too far to get around any area.

Considerations for some of the plants were size and growth habits of plants. To help create a Tuscan atmosphere in the courtyard patio, we wanted some climbing vines. So bed areas were created at the base of pillars and corners. The mature Red Oak needed as much room as possible to create its canopy and contribution to the garden so it went directly in the center.
