Last year, when we had our new house built, we initially wanted a paver patio with a wall.  Then after further consderation, we opted not to have the builder install the patio.  We figured we would take some time and look around at patio flooring options. We are so happy with our patio; the shape, size, type of paver used.  It looks like stone but is actually a paver.
