Hang in there, Tucsonans. Autumn is just around the corner, and with it months of blissful, patio-perfect weather.

Ah, yes, the patio. As the weather cools, it's a good time to get reacquainted. The once humble patio is evolving into a kind of outdoor living room - and in Tucson, the Santa Catalina and the Rincon mountains, or simply the desert sky, serve as some of the world's greatest natural wallpaper.

"A lot of people talk about it as creating an outdoor living space," says Chris Niccum, owner of Sonoran Gardens, a Tucson-based landscaping and patio company. "People envision that as a patio, but it certainly can go much beyond that. It can have a roof. It can have a floor. We do lots of kitchens."

But if yours is begging for a makeover, it's best to come up with a game plan. Niccum says patio projects can range from simple improvements to luxurious outdoor playgrounds, but most people tend to drastically underestimate the price.

"It's a twofold thing. They need to be thinking of how they want to use the space and how much they're willing to spend," he says. "A lot of people come to us with a $50,000 wish list and a $5,000 budget. The biggest thing is that people don't really think about it. They're really excited, but it becomes a shock to them when we start talking about budgets."

Comprehensive backyard renovations are more likely to start at about $15,000 to $20,000, Niccum says, which usually includes an extended patio space, planting, irrigation and some low-voltage lighting.
