How Clark fixed up his old patio
Clark purchased his first house about 40 years ago and has kept it as a rental property for years. When he recently decided to sell the property, the shabby patio was an area of concern. He didn’t want it to be a distraction to potential buyers.

Clark purchased a pack of linkable outdoor tiles to place over the existing pavement to see if it would actually make the patio look better.
