BENEFITS OF HAVING AN OUTDOOR PATIO

There are more advantages to adding an outdoor patio or entertainment area to your Minnesota home than just having an attractive place to enjoy being outside.

  • Increase property value/curb appeal. Your new outdoor patio will likely increase the value of your home if it comes time to put it on the market. Outdoor entertainment areas and outdoor kitchens are extremely popular and such a feature can add thousands to your the resale price of your home. If your patio is visible from the street, you’ll also get the benefit of added curb appeal.
  • Expand your living space. Adding an outdoor patio extends your living space. It essentially gives you an extra outdoor room.
  • Reduce energy costs. By adding an outdoor kitchen and/or outdoor entertainment area, you can save on your summer cooling bills. After all, you’re not adding all that cooking heat to the interior of your home.

CLAY PAVING BRICK

Brick patios have a manicured, uniform look that is especially well-suited for traditional and colonial-style homes.

There are many benefits inherent for each different type of paver material.

Benefits of Clay Pavers:

  • Durability & Strength
  • Last Longer
  • Eco Friendly
  • Color Retention
  • Timeless Style

CONCRETE PAVERS

Pavers are a popular choice for backyard patios. They provide a beautiful, custom paving solution that installs quickly and is ready for use as soon as the project is complete. Pavers allow for a lot of design creativity and can be used on small or large patios.  Individual pavers are made of concrete, but have the look of stone. They are also more affordable than natural stone and have a more uniform shape and design. They come in a variety of shapes and colors. However, the real draw of pavers is that they can be laid in striking patterns.

For an easy-to-maintain, versatile and weather-resistant patio surface, pavers are the natural choice. Various designs are available and Land Design will add its personal touch to blend beauty and function into pavers Land Design homeowners will definitely appreciate. Land Design uses the highest quality landscape paving stones.

Using different types and colors of pavers as accents and borders will make your project unique.


NATURAL STONE PATIOS

Natural stone is a beautiful, timeless and durable material that homeowners use for many purposes. You can choose from large flagstones and paving stones, to the smaller setts and cobbles depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Low-Maintenance – Durability – Aesthetic Beauty – Versatility – Natural Look – -Luxury that Lasts

Not only are stone patios extremely durable, but they also provide a natural look that is a great enhancement to any yard, whether you have an older house or a contemporary home. Natural Stone has been the building material of choice for thousands of years.   With proper stone selection, your stone products are both long-lasting and easy to care for. Given its natural look of true luxury, investing in stone can be a wise investment in your home or office.

You may be surprised that Natural Stone can be less expensive than some of the man-made products currently on the market!


EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE PATIO

Exposed aggregate is a type of decorative concrete finish, where stones are embedded into the surface of the wet concrete slab and left exposed. Exposed aggregate is one of the most durable and attractive decorative concrete finishes available,which is why Land Design has chosen to specialize in this area. The stones embedded in the surface get most of the wear, and not the actual concrete, which is what gives exposed aggregate its high durability
