Our new patio

13 years ago

We are starting from scratch...all we have is dirt and installed a semi-inground pool last year. Waiting for everthing to settle before putting in a patio and landscaping, pergola...BBQ and sittig area. I find it difficult to choose everything and know what the end result will be.

Hi Nancy! I see you had a pool put in and are ready to put a patio around it. If you have any questions about installing the patio, let me know I would be glad to help. btw you should take a look at techo- bloc pavers!

Start by browsing Houzz pictures enter "patio pergola seating" and see what comes up. Add those you like to an ideabook to get you started. It is worth taking the time to consider your likes and what you don't like before forging ahead. All the best for this project

Are the Techo-bloc pavers better than cambridge or nicolock pavers? I have researched both of those and like the cambridge so far.

Techo-bloc pavers are much better! Most homeonwers find their color a lot richer as well.

Are they more expensive than the other two? I do like the look of them...

Their pavers aren't that much more then cambridge. Some of techo-blocs stonedge slabs do cost more but well worth the money. Plus if you were to use real stone to get that look it would cost two times as much.
