The Best Outdoor Flooring Materials to Complement Your Garden

Ahh, the perfectly landscaped backyard. You’ve spent all year keeping the grass green, the trees trimmed, and the garden immaculate.

But if your patio space is still just a dirt patch with a couple of lawn chairs, your lawn will look incomplete no matter how well-maintained the rest of it is.

Read on to learn about a few easy ways to take your outdoor flooring up a notch and build the patio of your dreams.

Concrete

People have been using concrete as a construction material since 6500 BCE. We still use it today because it’s durable, easy to use, and endlessly flexible.

If you decide to pour a concrete floor for your patio space, don’t limit yourself to the original plain grey. You can create the look of tile with a concrete stencil or pour resin or stain on top for a marbled effect. You can even mix pigments into the wet cement before pouring it to make a custom color.

Composite or Vinyl Planks

Anyone who grew up with a wooden porch or deck knows the feeling of splinters in bare feet all too well. Wooden decks are beautiful, but they can be a bit hazardous and hard to maintain.

If you want the look of a wood deck without the splinters or need to re-stain it every year, it’s time to invest in composite or vinyl plank flooring. If you’re concerned about it retaining heat in the summer, choose a lighter color to reflect the sun.

Rubber Flooring

Looking for an unconventional patio floor that’s both eco-friendly and more comfortable than wood or stone? Look no further than rubber flooring.

Scrap rubber from tires, roofing materials, and industrial plants can be given new life as outdoor-safe flooring. This recycled material is durable but also springy and splinter-free. It’s an especially great option for families with small kids who spend a lot of time playing outdoors.

Outdoor rubber flooring comes in many colors and styles. You can choose from a solid mat, tiles, or shredded rubber mulch for your unique barefoot-friendly patio space.

Loose Stone

If you want your patio space to look less like a “deck” and more like a part of your garden, consider using loose stone.

All you have to do is install a small wooden, brick, or plastic border and pour the stone of your choice inside the boundaries. This makes it easy to create a patio that fits into an irregular space or has a more organic shape.

For a bit of added personality, place a few decorative tiles or stone slabs among the pebbles in a creative design.

Choosing the Best Outdoor Flooring for Your Patio

It’s time to stop settling for a basic dirt floor and upgrade your patio to something that matches the rest of your posh backyard. Whether your home’s aesthetic goes best with the natural look of stone or you’d rather opt for the comfort of rubber, one of these outdoor flooring options can take your patio from drab to fab in no time.

If you’re on the fence regarding whether or not you need grass protection mats, consider their numerous advantages.
