Columbia, MD Patio Installation Experts

 Is you backyard missing something? A new patio can transform your boring backyard into a beautiful space to entertain guests and spend some outdoor time with family and friends!

​Patios can be attached or detached from the house. The most important part is that the patio complements your house and outdoor space. You can build your patio into any shape or size, using a variety of materials. Concrete, pavers, stone, brick, and tile are among the most commonly used. Reach out to us today and lets start building your dream patio

Flagstone is one of the most popular and arguably best materials for patios. Their natural shape and earthy shades provide a very natural and organic look. Flagstone is also very durable due to the narrow packed joints that allow water to permeate instead of running off.

 

You can get very creative when building a patio with flagstone. You can arrange the stone in a neat uniform patter or a unique irregular one. You can even grow grass or moss between the stones! You can use the flagstone as an accent or cover the whole patio with it

We have flagstone of varying thickness, color, and size so you can rest assured we have what it takes to make your vision a reality. From red to orange, blue, brown, pink, gold, and even white we have something to compliment any outdoor space.
​
Installing flagstone does take more time and labor than pavers or concrete so keep that in mind when budgeting. It's also not known the exact sizes or shapes of the stones you will receive so planning ahead can be difficult. The stones can get very heavy and awkward to move and carry so make sure you have some help, or you could leave it to the experts to design your perfect patio and give us a call!

Stamped concreted, sometimes referred to as textured or imprinted concrete is an affordable paving option for those looking to replicate stones like flagstone, brick, tile, and slate. Stamped concrete can come in a variety of colors and patterns so its perfect for any space! This option also requires less maintenance than other materials. 

Colored and stamped concrete is also popular because of its supreme durability and weather resistance. If sealed properly this option will require almost no upkeep and last for years. Periodic resealing would only be necessary if small cracks develop.

Another benefit of stamped concrete is the coatings and additives you can apply. For instance a non-skid additive can be used as a slip resistant. "Stamped overlays" can even be installed overtop of existing concrete giving you the aesthetic benefits of stamped concrete without the price tag. 

Here at Columbia Landscaping we have a large inventory of patterns and colors so you can find the perfect combination for your backyard oasis. Some of our most popular patters are London Cobble, Random Stone, Running Bond New Brick, Herringbone New Brick, and European Fan. As far as colors go we have anything you can think of, but shades of gray, brown, and red are our most popular due to their natural feel.
​
The worst part about imprinted or stamped concrete is installing it. Due to the nature of the install process this is not a very DIY friendly project, so leave the one to the professionals and give us a call today!

Pavers can provide a beautiful and relatively quick upgrade to any backyard. They are popular largely due to their versatility and ability to be arranged in stunning patterns. Patio pavers come in a variety of shapes and colors and can be mixed and matched to create unique designs.

Dark colored pavers can be used to accent an area of light pavers to create a beautiful outline. They can also be cut into any size for custom designs. The most popular paver patters are Circular Pattern, Herringbone Pattern, Basket Weave Pattern, and European Fan Pattern. The most popular shapes are square, round, rectangle, and hexagonal.

Its important you think about the space you are designing when choosing your patio paver shape and pattern. For example when designing around a fire pit, you may want to use a curved or circular pattern. When designing a modern garden, a simple geometric pattern may be more appropriate. 

If you are struggling for ideas or just don't know where to start, don't worry! Just give us a call and one of our design specialists will take good care of you. We have plenty of ideas for your perfect landscape

Paver walkways could be a cheaper choice that will last as long as you are willing to keep the pavers. You can create a wide variety of designs using different patterns and colored pavers. If laid over compacted soil and gravel you wont have to worry about cracks either!

If installed correctly paver walkways can last decades! You can even outline them in another stone or brick to make the pavers pop even more. For advanced designers adding lighting to accent your walkway can be a nice touch as well

A nice paver walkway can be just what your property needs to shine. You can create custom designs, patterns, or even a build a monogram into your walkway. Regardless of how you design them, your new pavers will surely look great to anyone pulling up to your home.

If going for a more natural look, flagstone walkways could be for you. These stones are great because of their no-slip texture as long as they are laid evenly.

Flagstone is very durable and comes in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. You can cut nice even symmetrical stones for a more formal organized look, or lay irregular stones to create a more dramatic effect. You can even create a straight path out of irregular stones and add a little curve or design to your walkway.

Flagstone walkways are great for pathways through gardens or mulch beds. The natural surroundings give it a more dramatic feel. These stones are also some of the easiest to install especially if you use less but bigger stones.

Brick walkways can provide a more classic and charming look to your property. There are endless colors, patterns, and styles to choose from when using brick. Running bond, basket weave, half basket weave, and mosaic are just a few different styles you can create.

While brick walkways are inherently durable they must be installed correctly to last over time. It's important to make sure all bricks are level and the mortar is spread evenly. The good news is if your walkway does deteriorate, brick walkways are one of the easiest to repair! You can replace just one brick or a whole section in one afternoon.

Brick walkways are also pretty affordable. The cost is comparable to pavers or concrete. If you live in an area that doesn't freeze you can lower your cost even more by choosing dry laid brick instead of mortared brick.
