Patio Construction For Atlanta, Buckhead, Roswell, Marietta And More
Here is a brief description of the typical approach ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape follows when we design and in the process of constructing your stone or brick patio. Once the design and materials are just right, we start by sighting the property. A well designed patio and the right patio materials are a key for that space. Correct patio construction should always include a proper elevation grade “fall” to force rain fall to follow a specific route. Once we have elevations set, excavation of the area is next in order for getting it prepped. We dowel steel rebar into the foundation ( where applicable) and also run steel rebar throughout according to design and layout. In areas that need a much stronger structural substrate we create a grid with steel rebar to give the patio more support. Then we come in and pour a 4 inch thick concrete pad with a commercial grade concrete mix. With the set in place, we advance the artful facade. Brick materials we talk about once in a while, and after building some fantastic outdoor living spaces over the years we’ve decided stone ( in the case of most patios the more generic term would be Flagstone ) is the most requested. When the end result is a stone patio we are going to hand hew every stone, and lay those in selected patterns and grout more Portland Cement with a choice of your color. All grouting/joints are sponge washed. After we are done with the patio and it is hard we acid wash it one more time. The acid helps to remove any mortar and film from the stones, and even brings out the beauty of the color. Muriatic acid dissolves the lime that is part of the mortar’s chemistry. There ya go! Fast forward to how we build a gorgeous stone patio!
