    Covering the patio with concrete entirely is one of the most chosen solutions. The durability of the material, its low maintenance, and ease of cleaning have made it a standard in both homes and small gardens. However, this trend has started to lose strength, and by 2026, exterior design is shifting towards a different concept: recovering permeable surfaces inspired by patios from the 1970s.

    The new movement proposes replacing large areas of concrete with materials that allow water drainage and reduce heat accumulation. Instead of covering the entire ground with cement, it is recommended to combine stone paths, stabilized gravel, open-joint pavers, and areas with vegetation to create more pleasant environments throughout the year.

    This change responds to both aesthetic and functional issues. Concrete remains useful in high-traffic areas, such as ramps or garages, but it is no longer considered the best alternative for covering entire patios. Being an impermeable surface, it prevents rainwater from infiltrating the soil and absorbs a significant amount of heat during the day, which it then releases slowly in the afternoon and evening.

    The transformation in exterior design is linked to a new way of understanding the patio. It is no longer seen solely as a circulation space or an extension of the garage, but as an environment intended for rest, gatherings, and contact with nature.

    To achieve this goal, the exclusive use of concrete presents several limitations. Besides accumulating heat, it hinders vegetation growth and forces the waterproofing of practically the entire surface of the land. Dividing the patio according to its use is much more efficient. Areas designated for parking can retain concrete surfaces, while resting areas function better with drainage materials and more plant presence.

    The most chosen alternative currently is permeable pavements, a system that allows for maintaining firm surfaces without hindering the natural drainage of water. Among the most popular options are pavers with open joints, which leave small spaces between the pieces to facilitate infiltration; stabilized gravel, commonly used in paths or walkways, and natural stones for resting areas.

    The choice depends on the intended use for each sector. While gravel is suitable for gardens and paths, pavers offer greater stability in frequently trafficked areas. Natural stones, on the other hand, require little maintenance when installed correctly. Another advantage is the possibility of combining different materials within the same space.

    The trend is not just about swapping one material for another. The goal is to create outdoor spaces that can remain cooler during hot months and provide a more pleasant environment for daily life. Therefore, current projects incorporate trees, pergolas, shrubs, and flower beds that generate natural shade and help to lower the temperature of the surroundings.

    In conclusion, the combination of vegetation and permeable pavements improves both thermal comfort and the visual aspect of the garden. At the same time, outdoor furniture made of wood, natural fibers, or aluminum gains prominence, accompanied by warm lighting.

    Considerations to keep in mind:

    • One of the most important points before replacing a concrete patio is the preparation of the base. Specialists recommend leveling the ground, compacting it properly, and designing a drainage system that allows water to evacuate without sinking or accumulating mud.
    • In the case of gravel, it is also advisable to install retaining edges to prevent the stones from shifting. Pavers require a firm base that is properly compacted to maintain stability over time.
    • When installed correctly, this type of surface usually requires fewer repairs than a completely concrete patio, as individual pieces can be replaced without needing to break the entire surface.
