Does your backyard have potential, but see little action? There could be a very easy solution. You might want to consider adding a concrete patio to your backyard, particularly if you have a backdoor. It can do a lot for your backyard. If you have dreams in mind of barbeque grills and running children, this is one way to jumpstart making it a reality. Here are five uses for a concrete patio in your backyard.

Grill Surface
You can put a grill in the grass or dirt, but it might make the grill uneven and cause the meat to cook unevenly as well. Having a grill in the grass or dirt can also make it a pain to grill when the ground is wet. A concrete patio gives you a clean and level place to use your grill in any season.
Picnic Table
A picnic table also works in the grass, but if you want it to be even and easy for everyone to access, it is a good idea to put it on a concrete patio or slab. You could get a concrete patio large enough for a picnic table and grill, or you could have a separate concrete slab installed further in your yard for the table.
Gathering Place
It can be difficult to get people to gather around nothing. If your backyard is empty with a lot of potential, but nothing to look at, your guests will not be tempted to stay and linger. If you have a concrete patio with some patio furniture, you can entice your guests to stick around and enjoy the great weather outdoors.
