WHY CHOOSE A STONE PATIO vs. CONCRETE?

All this work, you may think, why would I install a stone patio? Well, stone patios are much more appropriate in the conditions here in central Ohio. While often the temperatures in the Winter are moderate, the freezing and thawing of the ground causes patios to shift. This shifting can either cause a low spot (in stone patios) or it can cause an un-repairable crack (in concrete, all types). Not to mention the possibility of staining from an accidental drop or spill, with pavers you can replace what is stained without having to repair the whole patio.

MAINTENANCING YOUR NEW PATIO

• Pavers will need some maintenance to upkeep their beauty. Our 5 year labor warranty covers any sort of settling and the Unilock Manufacturer warranty covers the pavers for lifetime of cracking; but there are other things the patio will need from time to time.
• As with most things, the more often you clear the leaves off your patio the better. Rather using a blower, hose, or broom, be careful around the cracks, too much pressure can push the sand out. Although it is commonly thought that “weeds” grow up from below the patio, it is truly that they take root from the top of the patio in the polymeric joint sand. This is one of the main reasons it is so important to keep the patio clear from debris.
• You also do have the option to seal your patio, depending on the type of pavers you choose, it may or may not make sense to seal them. Often we find that once you seal you need to keep re-sealing and some of the premier pavers out today come self-sealed so it's really not necessary. Ask us about the details for specific products as each is different!
