Different Patio StylesAll of our patios are designed keeping site characteristics in mind. Grades, drainage and styles fit the property and owner's preferences. A concrete slab can be the foundation for flagstone patio mortared in place ( eg. Blair Residence) Flagstone can also be set in sand with a compacted road base or it can be set in soil with ground covers planted between the stones ( New Castle ). Another alternative is man-made pavestones.
