Deck vs. Stone patio?
A deck’s advantage is the ability to build up from 1ft to several feet, giving you a new living space. A deck is less reflective and allows for more air to flow around the floorboards than a stone patio where heat can reflect and also acts like a heat sink. However, Stone Patio’s have great advantages in its longevity, look/feel of various cuts and allows for shapes that decks cannot achieve. A project using both woodworking and masonry yields the best results. Arched stone planters edging a wood deck is an example of where the two deliver an excellent result. Stone can be used as steps to a lower garden, or give you architectural accents in the form of pillars, walls, and columns. We at crossroads have gained the expertise to use both materials and skill-set to deliver a rich result for your design.
