Custom Stone Patio Construction Options
Bluestone and Flagstone patios are made to last forever. You can use this natural material in the backyard or as part of the front walkway of your home. The ultimate curb appeal statement is a front porch with natural stone and a pathway connecting to the driveway. Natural stone patios are a classic, timeless look. The natural material connects to nature, and the veins of color provide a beautiful contrast.One of the most interesting things with natural stone is the color change from wet to dry. After rain, you will see darker tones and contrasts in the stone. When dry, stone will look lighter in color and catch your eye a little differently. Cast stone veneer on vertical surfaces complements the natural stone flatwork and transitions the material from one point of view to the next.Multi-Level outdoor living spaces that incorporate a deck and a patio can create different zones and entertaining areas. For instance, the deck could be a family entertaining area with kids' toys and dining tables, while the lower area could be carved out as an adult space – no toys allowed. Imagine inviting neighbors over for happy hour or friends over to enjoy the fire on weekend evenings. It creates a space open and inviting for everyone.
