Patios and Walkways
Ask anyone in the Atlanta Metro area why they enjoy living here and the majority would say “the weather.” After a short and wet winter, everybody moves outdoors to enjoy the blooming spring flowers, warm summer nights, and brisk autumn air. If your backyard is too shady or damp to maintain a lawn, then a patio transforms once unusable space into a welcoming retreat. In Georgia, our yards are extensions of our homes. No matter the size, our backyards provide additional space for living, eating, and entertaining.
Most patios are crafted using one or more of the materials listed below. Some offer a wide range of options, while others are more straightforward. Here’s what you need to know:
​​​Concrete
Concrete is a top choice for patios, thanks to its durability and versatility. Modern techniques allow for tinted, textured, and decorative finishes that are not only tough but also slip-resistant. Stamped concrete provides stunning, unique designs at a price that won’t break the bank.
Pavers
Available in an impressive variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, pavers are known for their affordability and long-lasting durability. They adapt to ground movement, preventing cracking, and are easy to handle without special equipment. Pavers can be laid on sand or gravel without mortar, making them a practical choice. They also offer permeable options that meet zero runoff building codes. Consider these types:
-
Natural Stone
-
Brick
-
Flagstone
-
Concrete
-
Interlocking
-
Permeable
​
Wood
While wood is often used for decks, it can also create striking patios. Pressure-treated wood is essential for outdoor use, but for a bold statement, consider exotic hardwoods like Ipe or Teak. Teak is particularly popular for its intricate design and natural oils that repel bugs and resist mold. Keep in mind that wood requires regular maintenance to maintain its appeal and longevity.
