Are you looking to upgrade your outdoor space and breathe new life into your backyard? Installing the best flooring for your patio, deck, or garden is the perfect way to create a unique and inviting atmosphere. Here are some of the best options in the market:
Slate
Slate is one of the better choices for natural stone in outdoor patio locations. Slate is a metamorphic rock formed under great heat and pressure. It is very hard and durable, and also very resistant to water. And unlike some other natural stones, you can select a product with a natural texture that prevents it from being as slippery as some other natural stone. Many people think of slate as a dark gray or black stone, but it is actually available in a variety of colors, including purple, green, and orange.
Concrete
For the look of natural stone at a fraction of the cost, consider concrete tiles, which are molded from poured concrete and given textures and colors to resemble natural stone or high-end ceramic tile. Most concrete tiles for patio use are textured products that are easily stained unless they are regularly sealed. Source: TheSpruce
Rubber
Outdoor rubber flooring is available in tiles or comes in rolls. It offers high-quality traction and won’t hurt your feet should you walk on it without shoes. It’s also durable, slip-resistant, and ideal for pool environments. If you have children, rubber flooring would be your best option.
Carpet
Yes, you read that right, carpet. Today, they manufacture carpet that is designed for outdoor usage. Outdoor carpet tiles are easy to clean, resistant to mold, mildew, and stains, and are made with eco friendly material. Source: Homedit
Pavers
Paving stones, or simply pavers, can be made of concrete or clay. Traditionally 4- x 8-in. and 2.25 inches thick, they’re available in lots of colors and can be finished with a sealer to extend their lifespan.
Costs can vary. Clay tends to be more expensive than concrete but won’t fade in the sun, so it could be worth the extra investment. Proper installation with a solid base is especially important. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a lumpy, loose and uneven patio. Source: FamilyHandyman
