Value depends on the details
A well-planned patio can make a backyard far more usable and appealing. Whether it holds its value, though, depends on details, and most of those come down to how the project is planned and built. Return on investment varies widely by home, market and project, so we do not quote a percentage here.
Design around how you will use it
A patio that works well for the people who use it is more likely to appeal to a future buyer too. A family that entertains on weekends needs a different layout from someone who wants a quiet morning coffee spot. Work with the lot as well: avoid a patio so large it swallows the yard, or so small that a table and chairs barely fit.
Installation quality protects the investment
A patio that settles or drains poorly can cost more to repair than it added. Good installation starts with proper excavation, a compacted aggregate base built in lifts, and a slope that moves water away from the house. Surface materials should suit Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles, and edge restraints and joint sand help prevent shifting and weeds.
Follow the manufacturer’s installation guidance and the advice of the professional responsible for the build; those decide the details for your site.
Choosing pavers
Pavers combine durability with a wide range of colors and textures, so you can match your home’s style. Unlike one large concrete slab, individual units can be lifted and replaced if a repair is needed.
