Just as a well-manicured lawn can add beauty and value to a home, so can a patio when it's done right. Invented by the Greeks and loved by the Spanish, it used to be less of a luxury and more of a standard. They were a safe place to get away from the dirt of the streets and the harshness of the weather. Old world patios were paved open-air courtyards that surrounded the rest of the home. There was plenty of shade and fresh air in that little sanctuary. 

Even now, they are part of making a house more of a home. Our team understands that patio construction is not just about functionality. There is the intrinsic value that an outdoor space creates as an extension of the comfort of the home. There is also pride that comes with hosting social events. They create a manageable space for your guests to enjoy and can make family events, like birthday parties and barbeques, more intimate. 

They can also take some stuffiness out of a traditional business meeting. Instead of the dry ticking of the clock and hum of central air, the sounds of nature can open up new paths of thought. Research has shown that being outside for just 29 minutes resulted in an increase in productivity of 45% percent. It also helped improve workers' creativity and well-being. 

For homeowners, it's a chance to flex their creativity. There are various materials to choose from: flagstone, pavers, brick, cut stone, and tile. They come in multiple shapes, an endless amount of colors, and pattern possibilities that can stretch your imagination.

Another excellent reason for an installation is strictly dollars and cents: property value. According to Today.com, installing a patio can raise the value of your home by an impressive 12.4%. It also provides an excellent platform for other high return items such as custom kitchens, fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and gazebos. We can also add some greenery and color with potted plants and even a raised flower bed.

Does this mean that ANY patio can bring you that extra value? There are many facets to installation that are best left to the experts, and it's not too hard to tell if it was installed by a professional or as a DIY project. We have the tools, training, and experience necessary to create a space that makes buyers come running. We'll check for hidden issues like soft soil and drainage and abide by the local building codes and regulations.
