VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
If the idea of paying a pro to form and pour a concrete patio is preventing you from transforming your bland backyard, consider creating a paver patio.
It’s a much more do-it-yourself friendly project because the tools and skills are simple to acquire, and you can do the work in stages as your schedule allows. Plus a paver surface has more character and interest than a plain concrete slab, so it’s an asset to your home.
These tips brought to you by Pavestone, Creating Beautiful Landscapes.
I have two patio areas that have brick pavers over a concrete slab. These are about ten years old and discolored with dirt and pollen …. Suggestion for cleaning and a sealant, if advised.
Thanks.
