Guide to Patios

The patio is an extra amenity that adds to the aesthetics of your home and increases the property value. Its practicality can range from a relaxing spot to alfresco dining. One of the best things about patios is that they come in various distinct designs and appearances. This guide will explore patio options for your home.


Concrete Patio


Concrete is your go-to option for a minimal less-fancy patio. It has a basic flat-line texture, making it convenient for patio furniture to stay erect. In addition, concrete patios are easy to maintain and cost-effective.


Slate Paver Patio


Slate pavers add vibrant colours to your pavement and impart a beautiful look to your exterior. These patios resist any water percolation, so there is no risk of water damage. Moreover, they are frost free. These types of patios are affordable and you don’t have to empty your pockets to maintain them.


Natural Stone Patio


A natural stone patio is the best choice for a look that blends with the natural aesthetic. Also called a flagstone patio, natural stone patio designs are gorgeous and durable. They are composed of various colours, and their tough surface gives appropriate traction, especially when drenched. They don’t fade with sunlight and can last for generations when maintained properly.


Brick Paver Patio


A brick paver patio is one of the most popular choices by homeowners, and with good reason. Its variety of colours and numerous patterns, such as herringbone, running bond, and basketweave, create a unique look for your patio. You can complement these brick designs with natural stone patios and wooden decks.


Wood Patio


If there is a timeless design, then a wooden patio is undoubtedly it. Wooden patios grace your backyard with their rustic and elegant looks. Albeit high maintenance, they exhibit longevity and provide a homely look to your exterior. In addition, this type of patio is well within a cost-effective range and easier to construct.


Limestone Patio


Limestone patios are the perfect option for a contemporary look and maximum functionality. This patio comes in innumerable colours, shades, and finishes, creating a beautiful look for your patio. This patio also reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, which means you can walk bare feet on the scorchingly hot patio even during summers.


Synthetic Grass Patio


For many homeowners, maintaining a lawn can seem daunting. However, with a synthetic grass patio, you can be saved from the usual lawn maintenance and still enjoy your exterior's fresh, natural look. In addition, this kind of patio becomes one with nature and invites your children to have a good time without any worry of contracting allergies.
