Concrete Patio Kitchener
Concrete Patio Installation
Outdoor patios can be made from many different types of materials such as brick, tiles, cobblestone, wood, stone, and of course concrete. If you make a patio with an organic material such as wood, there are some risks involved with as well as a lot of maintenance work. There is always a chance of rot if you use wood, no matter what precautions you take as mother nature can finds its way in, whether it be through bugs or the elements. Not to mention, all of the splinters that come with a wooden patio. Other types of patios that are made with different types of stones can be a good option but the price can add up pretty quick. In a lot of cases, these types of material are also quite prone to having plants and weeds sprouting between the cracks. This becomes another chore for you and your family.
Concrete is the overall best choice for a patio as it is much more durable than wood but also relatively less expensive compared to other stone materials. Concrete tends to last much longer than other stone materials as well. The best part about concrete is that with modern techniques we are able to manipulate it to look like the other mentioned materials but without the downsides. Imagine a strong durable concrete patio that has the visual aesthetics and feel of a stained wood. You are even able to get the looks of brick, slate, cobblestone, tiles, and other stone materials through different concrete techniques. Once we install your concrete patio, we want to make sure you are doing the appropriate maintenance work to ensure it lasts for years to come. While the type and style of concrete that was installed will change how maintenance is performed, you can still use this as a rough guideline to start. To start all you need to do is hose down the surface, apply some soap, and then give it a good scrub with a push brush. Once that is finished, another quick rinse should do the trick for a basic maintenance cleaning.
