Patios and Walkways Built for Lake Weather

Freeze and thaw near the lake are hard on hardscape set on a thin base.

About Mentor, OH

Mentor is the most populous city in Lake County, on the south shore of Lake Erie, with roughly 47,450 residents and the 44060 and 44061 ZIP codes.

Settlement began in 1797. James A. Garfield bought a home here in 1876 and ran his 1880 front porch presidential campaign from it, and it is now the James A. Garfield National Historic Site.

Headlands Beach State Park is the longest public swimming beach in Ohio, and Mentor Marsh is a nature preserve beside Morton Community Park. Interstate 90, U.S. Route 20, and State Route 2 cross the city, and Mentor Avenue, home to Great Lakes Mall, is its main commercial corridor. Students attend the Mentor Exempted Village School District, including Mentor High School. Mentor was once known as the Rose Capital of the Nation, and its established neighborhoods and lakeside homes give property owners a wide range of yards.
