Why Pomona Homeowners Choose Stone Patios Over Wood Decks
Your outdoor space should be a place where you can relax and entertain without constant maintenance. Stone and paver patios give you that freedom. Unlike wood decks that need staining, sealing, and replacing rotted boards every few years, stone patios just keep going.
We have been building custom patios in Pomona for years, and here is what our customers love most. Stone does not warp in the heat. It does not attract termites. Rain does not rot it. You get a beautiful outdoor living area that looks great year after year with almost no upkeep. Just sweep it off and you are good to go.
The best part? You can choose from dozens of colors, shapes, and patterns. Want a classic brick look? We can do that. Prefer large natural stone slabs? No problem. Looking for modern pavers with clean lines? We will make it happen. Your patio should match your home and your style, and we make sure it does.
Stone also stays cooler than wood or composite decking when the sun is beating down. That means more comfortable bare feet during summer barbecues. Plus, you can add a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or seating walls without worrying about fire codes the way you would with wood. Stone gives you more options and fewer headaches.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Patio
Natural Stone vs. Manufactured Pavers
Let's talk about your material options. You have got natural stone and manufactured pavers. Both are great choices, but they work differently. Natural stone like bluestone, flagstone, and limestone gives you one-of-a-kind colors and textures. No two pieces look exactly the same, which creates a rustic, high-end feel.
Manufactured pavers, on the other hand, give you consistency. They come in precise sizes and uniform colors, which makes for cleaner patterns and easier installation. They are also usually more affordable than natural stone. Many homeowners like manufactured pavers for walkways because you can create intricate designs with different colors.
Popular Material Choices
Here are the materials we work with most often in Pomona:
- Bluestone: Durable, slip-resistant, and available in warm gray and blue tones. Perfect for pool areas.
- Flagstone: Irregular shapes that create a natural, organic look. Great for rustic or cottage-style homes.
- Travertine: Smooth limestone with beautiful color variations. Stays cooler in the heat.
- Concrete Pavers: Affordable, versatile, and available in hundreds of styles. Can mimic natural stone.
- Brick Pavers: Classic look that never goes out of style. Works with traditional and modern homes.
We will walk you through samples and help you pick what works best for your budget, style, and how you plan to use the space. No pressure, just honest advice.
How We Build Patios That Last Decades
A beautiful patio starts with proper preparation. We do not skip steps or cut corners. Here is how we make sure your patio stays level and looks great for the long haul.
First, we excavate the area and make sure we have proper slope for water drainage. This is critical in Pomona because we get those heavy winter rains. Water needs to flow away from your house, not pool on your patio. Then we compact a base layer of crushed rock. This creates a stable foundation that will not shift over time.
Next comes a layer of bedding sand that we screed perfectly level. This is where experience matters. Getting the sand layer right means your pavers will not settle unevenly later on. Then we lay your chosen stone or pavers in the pattern you selected, cutting pieces as needed to fit around curves, corners, and existing structures.
Finally, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints between pavers. This sand hardens when wet, locking everything in place and preventing weeds from growing through. We also seal the surface if you want extra protection and enhanced color. The whole process takes a few days depending on size, but the result lasts for decades.
We handle everything from start to finish. That includes pulling permits if needed, coordinating with your other contractors if you are adding a outdoor kitchen or fireplace, and cleaning up completely when we are done. You get to enjoy your new outdoor living space without any hassle.
