Courtyard and Patio Furnishings

Outdoor living style choices are now as diverse as indoor furniture selections. Relax on a cushioned chaise lounge or curl up in a woven wicker love seat. Rust proof iron comes in simple Southwest designs or Victorian classic. Sturdy powder coated extruded aluminum resists scratching, rusting, chipping and peeling. Synthetic resins that imitate hand woven wicker are durable, weather resistant and waterproof. Cypress wood ages to a naturally beautiful color, is strong and resistant to insect damage and decay. There’s a type of patio furniture to fit any décor.

Market umbrellas offer shade and color and can be placed independently of a table in their own stand. A roof overhang can be extended with canvas stretched between beams in a myriad of colors. If you prefer a Southwest theme, a ramada of natural stained wood offers a cool place to entertain. Light a mesquite log in a chiminea on those cool evenings and place several flickering luminaria on your patio walls and tables.

Pots, hanging baskets and beds of colorful annuals can be maintained almost year around. You’ll want to look up our Garden Tips of the Month here in our website to see which trees, shrubs and perennials flourish in our desert climate.
