Choose what material you want to pick

The basic material used for creating a patio varies from stone, concrete pavers, poured concrete, tiles to bricks. So choose wisely what will suit your budget and style. Earlier the concrete pavers were very common, now they are replaced with more fancy and stylish ones like:

  • Dry laid flagstone, pea gravel (they are movable and easy to maintain),
  • Stamped concrete (Stamps are available to create patterns that resemble cobblestone, cut stone, irregular stone, brick, or pre-cast pavers.)
  • Exterior tile(they can be really expensive to moderate comes in different shapes, color and patterns)
  • Mortared cut-stones (they are better for high use areas).
  • Precast stepper (round, rectangular or square shapes),
  • Stained concretes(are also available in small batches and unusual color combination)
  • Wood Mulch(the least expensive ones, they are available as bark, chips, nuggets)
  • Concrete Pavers(resemblance is like  a brick but are lighter in weighing)
