"Greg and his entire crew were very professional. Greg kept in contact with us every step of the way. Having a smaller, city-size backyard we needed good advice. He took our ideas and added his own expertise and we couldnâ t be happier. The price was excellent. Definitely recommend Salgado Brick Paving Services!"

"I can't say enough great things about working with JK Company for our patio. Tino was extremely professional from the first time we met during our consultation to the very last day of the project. He walked us through each step of the process to ensure that we understood all of our options that we had on our plate. With all of his years of experience, he made this patio project (which ended up being a 1500 sq foot patio) a delight to deal with. Putting in patio of that size is a HUGE investment and I wouldn't think twice about doing it all over again with Tino and the rest of the crew at JK Company. True experts in the space and I hope that others take advantage of their work as well....overall GREAT experience! I couldn't be happier with the finished product."

At first I wasn’t sure about letting such a young man handle such a huge project ($36,000) patio remodel. but after meeting with other local construction contractors, I was extremely impressed by Harvey’s Knowledge and expertise in the exterior field. long story short, within 10 days his team totally transformed our crappy little yard into a neighborhood Envy. they now Maintain our lawn and remove our snow in the winter time, eventually they were hired by our neighbors to do lawn maintenance . Great guy, affordable prices and extremely talented"

"Tony is a very talented & resourceful Mason. He was very upfront and clear about what he would do & how much it would cost. He researched at 4 different brick suppliers to find an exact match that I needed for my 11 year old brick facade, and also managed to get enough supply (most places had discontinued that brick), to get the work done. He is very reasonable and does a very high quality job. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed, and would definitely recommend him to anyone else."

"We have used Roberto Torres and his company for about 4 years now. Aside from awesome weekly landscaping (grass, edging, weeds, trees & bushes), he has also changed out our flower beds and front landscaping and last year removed a dog run and old shrubs and put pavers down to expand my patio. Always prompt, always fair, always high quality work. If you need a reliable service, don’t scroll further. This is the company to use!!"

"My family had the pleasure of contracting Legacy Hardscape for complete landscaping care that included my front and back yard plantings, tree trim & removal, wood burning, sodding, brick paver projects, snow removal, and special projects. The owner, Moises, is absolutely phenomenal whether with two or three man crew or solo, he provided exceptional detail throughout all jobs rendered. Just an extremely talented and very easy to work with guy. And to compliment Moises' success is his right hand guy Marco, who is exceptionally awesome as well, making them an impressive team. Legacy Hardscape is professional and has exceptional standards for design and execution. We've received tons of complements by neighbors, visitors, and other contractors on how everything looks. The design and landscaping of our yard exceeded all expectations! I highly recommend them for any future projects and assignments. No disappointments at all!"

FAQs for brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installation projects in Lake Forest, IL

When cleaning your flagstone patio, begin by gently hosing off loose dirt and debris. Use a mild solution of white vinegar and water or diluted dish soap to scrub the surface with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using abrasive tools, such as wire brushes, as they can damage the stone’s seal and finish. This careful approach effectively removes mold and grime while preserving the natural beauty of your patio.

Flagstone naturally offers a neutral palette that includes shades of grey, black, red, yellow, brown, and tan, and its inherent color cannot be altered. Choosing varieties like bluestone provides a subtle bluish tint that complements many exterior designs. These natural hues enhance curb appeal and create a refined, timeless look in your outdoor space, ensuring a sophisticated finish with minimal upkeep.

Flagstone for a patio must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 inches to reliably support furniture and foot traffic. Using stone that is two to three inches thick is recommended to ensure lasting durability. The increased thickness prevents cracking under load and enhances long-term performance. Investing in thicker flagstone provides superior stability and resistance to weather conditions, ensuring your outdoor space remains both safe and attractive.

You can paint a flagstone patio by using a high-quality, outdoor elastomeric latex paint designed for heavy foot traffic. Painting not only refreshes the patio’s appearance but also creates a waterproof barrier that protects the stone from damage. Regular reapplication every one to two years maintains its durability and visual appeal, ensuring your patio remains both stylish and well-protected.
