Patio Extension with Fire Pit & Seat Wall in Holmen, WI

This project in Holmen, WI focused on expanding an existing concrete patio to create a more functional and inviting outdoor space.

The goal was to build off what was already there and turn it into a space that could be used for relaxing and gathering.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Location: Holmen, WI
Project Type: Patio Extension

Features:

The existing concrete patio provided a base to work from, but the space felt limited and didn’t offer much room for gathering or relaxing.

There wasn’t a defined area for seating, and the layout didn’t fully support how the homeowners wanted to use the space.

The space had potential, but needed a more defined layout to make it usable.

The plan was to extend the patio using pavers to create a more usable layout while tying into the existing concrete.

A fire pit was added as a central feature, along with a seat wall to provide built-in seating without overcrowding the space.

The goal was to keep the layout simple while making the space feel more complete and functional.

The project began with preparing the area for the patio extension and ensuring a solid base for the new paver section.

The paver patio was then installed to connect cleanly with the existing concrete, creating a seamless transition between the two surfaces.

The fire pit and seat wall were built as focal points, adding both function and structure to the space.

Throughout the build, the focus was on proper installation so the new patio performs well and holds up over time.

Proper installation is what ensures the space performs well and holds up over time

The finished space extends the original patio into a layout that feels more open and usable.

The fire pit creates a natural gathering area, while the seat wall provides built-in seating that keeps the space clean and uncluttered.

By building off the existing concrete, the project adds function without overcomplicating the layout.

The result is a simple, well-defined space that’s easy to use and fits naturally with the home.

The result is a backyard that feels complete — designed for how the homeowners actually use their space.
