Extending the square footage of your home by adding an outdoor patio is something you've always wanted to do. You gain new space to entertain guests and enjoy your beautiful landscape with a patio designed with your home's style in mind.
While many patios are built out of wood for a classic appeal, you want hardscape that will blend with the rest of your yard when designing your home's outdoor space. Here are materials to consider for your patio instead of wood
Flagstone
Slate
Brick
Stamped Concrete
If natural stone is too expensive or doesn't come in the color variations you've been hoping for, consider stamped concrete for a beautiful alternative in patio building. Stamped concrete is colored concrete poured and then stamped to resemble brick, natural stone, or even mosaic patterns.
If you want a custom hue for your stamped concrete project, let your contractor know. They can mix layering hues in colors you enjoy to match your home's design and give you a patio that looks as if it's truly made of a more expensive granite or marble.
Before choosing a material for your patio project, take the rest of your home's design and landscape into consideration. You want to make sure the material you choose for your patio blends with your existing designs without overpowering current color schemes or patterns. Your contractor can help you choose the right materials for texture, color, durability and overall appeal.
Your patio can become a beautiful extension of your home, designed with natural or man-made materials that last. With professional installation and with care on your part, you can expect your new patio to last for many years.
