Concrete Patios and Walkways

Having a patio and a walkway can do a lot to improve the outward aesthetic of your home. Imagine having a patio fully decorated with comfortable couches overlooking the garden you worked so hard all year long to make look this nice. Or you can also imagine having a walkway that leads to specific parts of your home or office, protecting the freshly manicured lawns from the rude footsteps of you and your visitors. Imagine how aesthetically pleasing this can be. There are so many materials that can be used to create patios and walkways. Wood is a very common choice and, in all fairness, can be beautiful to look at. However, here are the reasons why concrete is a better option.

Stylistic Versatility

Wooden patios almost have a bland and straightforward look to it. The only design choice you have with wood patios is the balcony material and colors if the stain and sealant. This is the same thing with other materials like gravel and crushed limestones. These are cheap and quick solutions with limited style choices when it comes to color. When compared to concrete, the options seem unlimited. There are various stylistic options you can choose from when selecting the finish of a patio. Regardless of what your budget is, you can still find a way to come out with something that is not bland concrete. At Marietta's Concrete Contractors, we don't just offer concrete patio making services. We go the extra mile to make sure that it is constructed in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing to you.

Cost

The typical cost for a standard concrete patio is significantly lower than that of paving stones or a wooden deck. It is important to note that your design choices can take the price higher. However, with concrete, you will be saving yourself a lot of money in the future. Also, concrete patios can bring ROI as high as 60% if you eventually sell the house. In other words, constructing a concrete patio is a great option to consider when you are looking to increase the value of your home. And who better to do the job than us at Marietta's Concrete Patios and Walkways, the best concrete contractor in the whole of Georgia and beyond.

Maintenance

The maintenance process of patios made using concrete and other materials like wooden decks are somewhat similar. They both have to be appropriately maintained to increase durability against damage caused by the elements of nature. However, the process of maintaining both surfaces are not similar when it comes to cost and effort. A 1000 square feet of concrete patio requires a 5gallon can of sealant once every few years. However, wooden decks need regular maintenance. They have to be power washed, sanded and be checked for rust and mold. That's too much effort when you can get the alternative at a better price with more style options.
