Design Vision:
Envision the style and layout you want for your patio makeover. Consider size, shape, and how you'll use the space.
Measure the Area:
Measure the length and width of your current patio space to determine the materials needed. This will help you determine the total square footage that needs to be covered with the new material. Bring these measurements with you!
Research Materials:
Research different patio materials such as stone, flagstone, or natural pavers. Have a look at our selection. Learn about their characteristics, colors, and textures.
Check Regulations:
Check if any local building codes or permits are required for patio construction or modifications. Plan Drainage: Consider how water will flow off the patio surface. Proper drainage prevents pooling and potential damage. We can help you with a site visit!
Choose a Pattern:
Decide on a laying pattern for your chosen material, such as herringbone, basket weave, or random. Bring us a picture or Pinterest page!
Estimate Quantity:
Estimate the quantity of materials required based on your measurements and chosen material type.
