Patios

A patio built on a properly prepared base holds its lines for years; one that isn’t shows it within a season. We build for the first outcome.

Overview

How we approach patios.

A patio is one of the most-used spaces we build, which means base preparation matters more here than almost anywhere else on the property. Excavation depth, compacted aggregate base, and edge restraint determine whether a patio stays flat and tight for years or starts shifting and gapping within a season or two.

Beyond the base, patio design is about how the space actually gets used — dining, a fire feature, a transition point to the yard — and we lay out the shape and material accordingly, rather than defaulting to a rectangle.

What's included

What matters in a patios project.

  • Proper excavation and compacted base — the part that determines long-term performance, not just appearance
  • Edge restraint that keeps paver joints tight over time instead of spreading
  • Layout designed around how the space will actually be used, not a default shape
  • Material and pattern choices that connect visually with the rest of the property’s hardscape

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a patio and a paver patio?

Most of our patio work uses concrete pavers, though the right material depends on the property and your preferences — we’ll talk through the options during design.

How long does a patio installation take?

It depends on size and site conditions; we’ll give you a specific timeline once we’ve scoped the project.

Can a patio be built around an existing fire pit or outdoor kitchen?

Yes — see Outdoor Fireplaces and Outdoor Kitchens for how those integrate with a patio design.

Do pavers need to be sealed or cleaned?

Sealing and cleaning helps preserve paver color and joint stability over time. We offer brick paver cleaning & sealing as part of a new project or as a standalone service for an existing patio.
