Professional Patio Design and Installation

All over Schaumburg and the Chicagoland area, patios tend to be the universal meeting spot Whether you have an existing patio or have an idea in mind to make one, More Pro Inc is who to call.

Just like any other chores around the house, like keeping it clean, you need to keep your patio clean as well. We spend a lot of money having the perfect outside space to enjoy the nights. But for first timers, there are a few things that you should know.

• DON’T feel obligated to seal your patio. It will give your patio a permanent wet look and you will need to reseal it every 2 years non stop.
• DON’T overdo washing a stone patio. Since natural stone tends to flake, overzealous washing can actually wear the surface away. It’s generally better to wash as needed rather than on a regular schedule.
• DO be careful with power washing. Too much pressure can damage stone surfaces. Too much pressure can cause for divots or marks to be left behind.
• DO sweep away debris regularly. Trapped dirt and leaves tend to lead to mold, rot and stains – prevention is always better than the cure.
• DO rearrange furniture at least once a year. This is especially important here in Illinois where mildew is prone, because furnishings and rugs trap in moisture.
• DON’T obsess over concrete imperfections. Hairline cracks are becoming industry standards. Trying to fix them with additional cement or grout tends to make them look worse than the crack alone.
• DO install irrigation for potted plants. A container garden is a great addition for ambiance, but it can wreak havoc on your patio surface. Puddling due to overwatering leads to mold and stains from mineral buildup.
