we extended our outside slab to be 10 x 15 and have a patio for the grill, a table and chairs, and some herbs. It is somewhat elevated so has a railing and gate which allows the dogs to be out enjoying the weather. Bugs are not a problem 'cause they are not allowed in The Villages.
If I had a patio at ground level I would build a short wall around it to make it a specific area, add additional seating and just make the area look nicer. I have seen several in TV and they look like wonderful outdoor spaces.
