Camarillo Patios
The word patio is derived from the Spanish language, which means Courtyard. It is an outdoor space that homeowners install for recreation or dining with family or friends. It adjoins a residence. In order to make it decorative and to have a good look, homeowners pave their patios with concrete or stone slabs that are known as paving flags.
There are a number of other materials that can be used for installing a patio. These materials include tiles, bricks, block paving, gravel, or cobbles. We at Camarillo Concrete & Masonry have the required know-how and experience of installing concrete patios, stamped concrete patios, and aggregate concrete patios, suiting to your budget.
