Popular Patio Materials

Concrete

Concrete patios can come in three main forms: poured concrete, stamped concrete, and concrete pavers. Poured concrete is smooth and neutral, stamped concrete is poured concrete with custom stamped designs, and concrete pavers are individual concrete paving blocks placed together to form a pavement like brickwork.

Brick

Speaking of brickwork, Freedom Fence and Deck also installs all manner of brick patios, from classic red ones to brick patios with unique paver shapes and colors. While brick pavers do not vary too much in shape, they are well known for their classic patterns like herringbone and basketweave.

Flagstone

Flagstone is famous for its orange, gray, and white colorations and irregular paver shapes, which create a rustic-looking patio with plenty of charm. Flagstone and other natural materials like limestone, travertine, bluestone, and fieldstone are the most durable you can find.

Patio Design Ideas

Size and Shape

The size and shape of your patio will depend on the size and shape of your property and how you want to use the patio. You might have an idea of how you travel through the property and how the patio would fit that natural traffic flow, along with how you would use the space. Patios can have standard and custom dimensions, with unique curves and angles that make them fit your particular home. 

Patio Additions

Patios can have one or more zones. You can define each area with various features that complete your outdoor living space’s functionality. Here are just a few feature ideas for patios:

• Lighting
• Sitting walls
• Retaining walls and/or steps for slopes
• Outdoor kitchens
• Shade features
• Privacy screens
• Planters or garden beds
• Water features
• Fire pit or outdoor fireplace
• Hot tub

It’s amazing what a backyard patio can become! Don’t be afraid to think big.

Patio Maintenance Tips

Concrete, brick, and stone are clearly different materials, but they all benefit from the same maintenance advice to keep them in great condition for as long as possible. Here’s what you can do to keep your patio in fantastic shape:

• Clean the patio: You could use a pressure washer or warm, soapy water and a stiff-bristle broom to scrub the patio.
• Remove spills and stains: Clean up spills immediately and use appropriate products to remove stains as soon as possible.
• Seal the patio: All patio materials are porous and can stain and break down over the years. A sealant can help preserve your patio. 
• Use proper winter tools: Rock salt can be harsh on patio materials, but alternatives like calcium chloride and potassium chloride can be more effective. Use a plastic shovel to remove snow rather than a metal one, which can scratch the patio surface.
• Protect the patio from fire: If you have a grill, outdoor kitchen, or fire pit, a protective mat can keep grease and soot from dirtying the surface long term.
