Paver Patios — best when you want:

  • Replaceable units if one chips or stains (no full demo)
  • Excellent freeze–thaw performance with proper base/edges
  • Maximum design flexibility: borders, inlays, large-format
  • Low maintenance; optional sealing

Stamped/Plain Concrete — best when you want:

  • A monolithic surface and strong budget value on simple shapes
  • Fewer joints and a continuous look
  • Color/pattern integral to the pour
  • Accept that resealing and crack control are part of ownership.

We build both. If stamped concrete is the better fit, we’ll say so and show you the tradeoffs.

Design Options

  • Shapes & layouts: rectangles, curves, terraces, multi-level
  • Patterns: running bond, herringbone (45°/90°), basketweave, random ashlar
  • Borders & inlays: soldier course, double borders, medallions
  • Steps & transitions: stoops, masonry steps, under-cap lighting on risers
  • Integrations: seat walls, fire features, outdoor kitchens, pergolas
  • Materials: concrete pavers, porcelain pavers, natural stone slabs

Our Build Standard (What You Don’t See Is What Makes It Last)

  1. Site assessment & layout – elevations and drainage planned
  2. Excavation – depth for base + bedding + paver thickness
  3. Base installation – 6–10″ compacted aggregate in 2″ lifts
  4. Edge restraint – anchored into the base, not soil
  5. Bedding layer – ~1″ screeded sand or chips (open-graded option)
  6. Laying & cutting – tight joints, clean borders, sleeves for utilities
  7. Joint stabilization – polymeric sand; final compaction
  8. Sealing (optional) – breathable, matte/low-sheen

Drainage: We set 1–2% slope away from structures and integrate drains as needed—never trapping water at your foundation.

Popular Add‑Ons

  • Seat walls & pillars with contrasting caps
  • Built-in fire pits or fireplaces (wood or gas)
  • Outdoor kitchens (grill islands, bar seating, storage)
  • Low‑voltage lighting (under-cap, path, step)
  • Shade structures (pergolas, pavilions; coordinated with footings)

Typical Timelines & Investment

Every yard and soil profile is different, but most single‑level patios install in 3–6 working days once we begin. Multi‑feature projects run longer.

Budgeting: To help early planning, patios generally vary by:

  • Paver choice & size (standard vs. large‑format or premium textures)
  • Excavation & access (tight yard access, hauling distance)
  • Soil conditions (clay removal, stabilization)
  • Features (curves, steps, seat walls, lighting, kitchens)

Want ballpark estimates? Ask during your consult and we’ll give realistic ranges before design work begins.

FAQ for Paver Patios

Do pavers settle over time?

Well-built patios shouldn’t. Settlement is almost always a base or drainage issue; we build to prevent it and warranty our workmanship.

Will weeds grow in the joints?
Polymeric sand greatly reduces this. Blow off leaves regularly and consider sealing.
Should I seal my patio?
Optional. Sealing enhances color and helps with stains; we’ll recommend the right product for your paver type.
What about winter & de-icing?
Use CMA or similar paver-safe products—avoid rock salt and metal shovels.
Can you tie into existing concrete?
Yes—clean transitions/expansion details blend materials seamlessly.
Do I need a permit?
Patios typically don’t; gas, electrical, or structures might. We’ll advise for your municipality.
