Hi Nina,
You can use large pavers. We made a patio area with them by digging up the grass, leveling the dirt with rakes and shovels, and putting a layer of gravel.
You can go tight over it with decking and make it any size you want.
Extend with 12” or 24” pavers.
Nina: I used pavers... and I think it looks quite nice. (I needed more room for opening the storm door.)
Nina - as others said, pavers are a great option. If it is square/rectangle, you could consider a semi circle of gravel off one end. Good luck!
