- How will my concrete patio be used?
- How much space do I have to work with?

Benefits of a Concrete Patio
Before wood decks came in style a few decades ago, most patios were built of hard materials like concrete, stone or brick. These days a lot of homeowners and deck & patio builders go back to those original materials for a number of reasons:
- Durability. Concrete is highly durable, it stands up to a wide range of weather conditions without fading or staining.
- Versatility. Because of the design versatility, coloring techniques, and advanced stamping and stenciling tools, no concrete patio has to look like another. Design options are nearly endless since concrete is so easy to work into any form and shape.
- Low Maintenance. Staining as well as resealing are not needed when compared to a wood patio option. Compared to paving stones, concrete patios do not have sand filled joints where weeds or grass could grow.
- Cost-effective. Concrete patios can be designed to look like attractive paving bricks for a fraction of the cost. Plus, the high durability and low maintenance costs add to the great value of concrete patios.
- Environmentally Friendly. No need for sealers or solvent-based wood stains. Using concrete instead of wood saves lumber and therefore trees.
