| Paver Patios |

With many shapes, sizes, colors and textures available, patio pavers are the best option when it comes to replacing or building a new patio. Most home owners decide to replace their patio when their existing pavement is cracked, stained or when it no longer meets their functional needs. Installing paver patios will add new beauty to your home and allows you to customize your patio to fit your taste.
Blending paver patio patterns will subtly let you know when you’re entering different areas of the yard. Example: you may enter a back yard following a beautiful cobble stone walkway laid in a basic linear runningbond pattern. As you approach the main patio or entertaining area, that runningbond pattern can seamlessly fan out into a true random pattern that defines the patio. It's very difficult to achieve the same flow with concrete. Adding decorative band of pavers around the perimeters of your patio or landscape planters will enhance the look of your patio and garden. Create solid banding with a single sized paver that has a contrasting color to the rest of your patio pavers. Adding this element of design will give your patio some character with a custom feel. You may also use this banding around steps, pool deck coping, fire puts, or anything that your patio pavers will border. Tumbled Paver Patios
Patio pavers are slip resistant. Installing patio pavers around your pool deck will add an element of safety for your family and guests. As pavers get wet, the stone will not become slippery. Patio pavers conveniently allow for underground repairs. Pool decks have pvc piping underground that often needs repairs. Simply lift the affected area(s) of your patio pavers, make any necessary repairs, and reset the original pavers. This will not leave any unsightly patch lines or color variances and will be an inexpensive repair. Most manufacturers will guarantee your patio pavers against cracking or breaking for as long as you own your home. Most patio paver installation companies will guarantee their workmanship for atleast 3 to 5 years. These warranties are unmatched in the use of other pavement types. It is reasonable to assume a patio paver installation will last you a lifetime, you should never have to replace your patio again. If you happen to stain or chip any pavers, you can easily replace and fix the affected stones. If you have ever dropped a greasy hamburger patty on your concrete while barbecuing, you know it stains. It will stain your patio pavers as well. The difference is you can replace the 2 or 3 pavers that are stained without disturbing any others. This eliminates costly repairs and eliminates the frustration of you having to look at that grease stain for as long as your patio is standing. Patio pavers are an affordable alternative to concrete. Certainly, each installation is unique and different circumstances will effect your price in one war or another, however, you can expect a new patio paver installation to cost between $7.00 and $11.00 per square foot from a properly licensed, bonded and insured contractor. Those prices are comparable to a decorative stamped concrete. With the cost of patio pavers going down and the value it creates, patio pavers are the main ingredient to giving your patio the facelift it deserves.
