<div class='uawarticle'>When a homeowner wants a patio in his yard, it is a place for the family and friends to gather to enjoy the outdoors. It can hold a barbeque to cook food outside. There is lovely patio furniture that is weather-resistant. The surface of the patio may be made of concrete or brick. When the homeowner buys a kit for one of the <A href="http://www.daveryanlandscaping.com">patios Nantucket</A> puts together all necessary materials. Contractors as well as homeowners use these kits.<br />
<br />
The concrete paving slab is less costly than the stone one. Concrete may be less expensive but, it is just as durable. When you hear the word concrete, it is no longer just the plain gray slab. It can be made to look like stone, brick or marble depending on the finish applied to the surface.<br />
<br />
In addition to paving slabs, patios are crated of brick and tile. The concrete can be finished to look like another material. It is a less expensive way to get the finish you want. The patio might be square, or two kits together can form a rectangle.<br />
<br />
You can design a patio in any shape you like. This is done using wooden forms. When the semi-liquid concrete is poured the forms keep it contained while it dries. After sufficient drying time, the wood forms are removed.<br />
<br />
In addition to the many colors available to add to the concrete as it is mixed, small pebbles are sometimes used to change the texture. It is important to have a professional set the pitch of the surface. This is done in a way to ensure that the water runs off the surface after a rain.<br />
<br />
If the pitch is incorrect, water will lie in puddles rather than running off. It is an inconvenience for the homeowner. It is also going to eventually cause damage to the concrete. A contractor adjusts the wooden forms to ensure the pitch is correct.<br />
<br />
There are any number of fancy finishes that can be added both before drying and after. To make stamped concrete, plastic forms are pressed into the wet concrete after the pour. Then an alternate color is brushed on in powder form. The plastic is removed, leaving a pattern of a second color on the surface of the patio.<br />
<br />
It must be done quickly to work effectively. If the plastic is not removed in time, the concrete might set, making removal impossible without causing damage. Timing must be figured by a contractor with experience in decorative concrete work.<br />
<br />
There are also stains that may be applied. The surface may be etched. The surface of the patio can also be covered with a thin coat of liquid that will serve as a protective layer in cold climates. The concrete expands and contracts in response to weather conditions.<br />
<br />
These possibilities give the homeowner many choices. It can look like the brick that trims the home. It can match the color of the exterior walls. The design can be almost anything, from a circle to an oblong shape. When texture and color are used, you will be adding value to your home. Plus, you will be able to enjoy the new patio for many years to come.<br />
