Patios in Shelter Valley, CA.
Patios for Shelter Valley homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. A patio is where the house meets the yard, so it has to look right and drain right. We slope every patio at least an eighth inch per foot away from the house, isolate it from foundations with a flexible expansion joint, and finish it to match the home — broom for casual yards, salt or wash for character, stamped or aggregate for high-end exteriors..
