As you consider installing a patio for your home, it is important to know the benefits you’ll be receiving with this investment. The following are some of the perks when you invest in a patio:
Durable and long lasting
– When patios are installed properly, the pieces interlock to create a flexible and strong pavement system. Most pavers are about 3 or 4 times stronger than even the concrete foundation of the home. Many of the manufacturers of these paving stones offer a lifetime warranty on them.
Better for varying climates and seasonal changes
– It is no surprise that winter weather can affect your patio. As the ground expands and contracts from the moisture from the weather conditions, it moves the patio too. With a paver patio and how it is installated (piece by piece), there are more seams across the pavement surface, allowing the pavers to individually flex each cycle but then ideally, settle back into the original position when the expansion recedes. When your patio is professionally installed, your patio may have very minimal movement if proper construction practices are used.
Low Maintenance
– When it comes to upkeep for a paver patio, it is very minimal. You can sweep or blow any debris off the surface of the patio as needed. Typically, most stains that occur can be removed with soap and water. If it is necessary, there are cleaners available that are formulated for certain stain types. When you apply a protective sealer to your patio, maintenance and cleaning will be even easier.
