Patios are no longer some bricks laid out in a square shape. Today patios have a huge variety of stone options to choose from that go way beyond the scope of just bricks. You should consult your patio paver contractor when considering what stone varieties will work best for your home’s aesthetic. Some options include but are not limited to natural stone, brick (clay) varieties, blue stone, sandstone, concrete, porcelain, cobblestone, Flagstone, Marble, and more. Some stones will be better suited for things like driveways as what goes on the patio will factor into what type of stone you’ll need to consider.

Each type of paver stone will also have different pros and cons. Some are more durable in the long term through all four seasons while others may not be suited for cold temperatures. You wouldn’t want to go with a stone variety which will be damaged by ice and the cold. Your local paver contractor will know what is the most suitable for your circumstance.

Outdoor Patio Options

It’s great to be able to spend time outdoors on your new patio. Have lunch, sip iced tea, read a book, catch some sun; to name a few. But what about in the fall and winter months? There are options you can add onto any outdoor patio to make them usable all year long, even in the cold weather. The most popular of which is an outdoor fireplace or fire pit.
