Thinking About a Patio for A Home in Richmond?

Thinking about a patio but not sure what type of material to use? Many of our customers want to know the difference between using patio pavers, or stones vs. poured concrete, which is generally the least expensive patio option.

Most Prefer Pavers or Stone

For most of our customers we recommend pavers or stone. They come in many colors and sizes offering more design options than poured concrete. Pavers also move with the ground as it shifts making your patio more resistant to cracking over time.
