Who doesn’t want a good patio for their home? It’s a space where you can spend some quality time with your friends and family, unwind at the end of the day, or have your morning coffee.  According to a 2017 survey, 155,000 homes in the United States had patios installed that year.

The vision you have for your patio depends on what you want out of it. You could have a larger or smaller patio depending on whether you host parties, just want a place to relax, etc.

The material used for your patio reflect what you need out of it. Here are some of the top patio materials for 2019:

Flagstone

Flagstone is a natural stone that’s mined across many states in the United States. Known for its rustic and earthy look, this irregular shaped stone is popular with homeowners who want to give their patio a homey feel. Put out some deckchairs and channel some vacation vibes if you have a flagstone patio.

The irregular stone, however, is not a great option if you are looking to host barbeques and summer parties outdoors.

Bluestone

This particular stone is upheld for its beauty. They bluish hue it possesses is rare to find. To maintain the look and color of this material, it needs to be protected with sealer each year.

On the downside, this stone heats up substantially in direct sunlight. Experts recommend this stone for shady backyard areas.

Clay bricks

Clay bricks were once used for pathways back in the day, but many homeowners have reclaimed it for their patios. Not only do they make the space look more welcoming, but they are also very eco-friendly.

Pavers

Pavers are one of the most widely used patio flooring material out there. They can be made of natural stone, concrete, and even recycled materials. Like clay bricks, they are easy to work with and you can play around when it comes to designs.

Concrete

Concrete patio floors are the least expensive of the lot. They can be molded to any design and color you like. You have the option of choosing brushed concrete for a more sophisticated look too. Of all the options in this list, concrete provides the smoothest finish, making it ideal for summer parties, and barbeques.
