PATIOS-PAVERS-FLAGSTONE-BRICK
Pavestones
The price of pavestones is more affordable today
than before. The techniques have improved and
the skill in laying the stones has been expanded. When
one compares similar aspects of a stamped concrete patio
done correctly costs are usually less. However when the
advantages of each are compared the paving stones far
outweigh the concrete.
Brick pavers offer
beauty and long-term performance to home and landscape.
There are many patterns, colors, and textures to enhance
the character and value of your home. To get the most
out of your Raleigh NC brick paver project, consider the
following aspects before you start. Raleigh NC Patios,
walkways and driveways should be wide enough to
accommodate people, lawn furniture, or in the case of
driveways, cars and foot traffic. Walkways should be at
least 36" wide. A wider walk lends more grace to an
entrance. People enjoy walking on paths with gentle
curves, and brick pavers can define and enlarge space
for shrubbery beds.
Designing Raleigh NC patios is like planning a
new room.
What part of the day will it be in the sun or shade?
It it going to be blocked from the wind? How will the
landscaping fit in?
How easy is the access from the house?
Are steps needed?
Consider the flow of foot traffic and the amount of
space needed to accommodate a patio table and chairs,
gas grill, etc. A minimum of 350-400 sq. ft. would be
needed, but a more generous size is recommended,
especially if the homeowner likes to entertain family
and friends.
Custom design service is available for all your
Raleigh NC brick paver needs. The beauty of your project
will make you feel that your research was worthwhile.

racks, small refrigerators and Custom barbecue

Concrete- Raleigh NC Patios built out
of concrete should be constructed out of 4 inches of
2000 psi concrete with ½ inch rebar placed every 24
inches on center going in both directions. The Soil
under should be well compacted.
Brick- Traditional Raleigh NC brick
patios should be built over a 4-inch concrete slab. The
bricks are now set in a mortar bed and leveled one at a
time. Then all the spaces between the bricks are filled
with a grout. This is can be rather expensive because
one is building two surfaces. Interlocking Raleigh NC
brick patios are far more economical because they are
set in sand instead of in mortar over concrete.
Flagstone- Raleigh NC Flagstone is a
generic term for thin flat rock that is used for paving
flat surfaces. Flagstone is named from the location of
the quarry it comes from. Arizona red is a reddish sand
stone; Pennsylvania blue is a grey blue. The cost of the
stone is proportional to the shipping distance. It is
best to pour a concrete slab and set the stone in mortar
on the slab. However, in the interest of economy the
stones can be set directly over the soil. They will move
and shift over time and will have to be readjusted from
time to time.
