    Patios Engineered to Host a Lifetime of Outdoor Gatherings

    A patio is the floor of your outdoor home, and it takes more abuse than any interior floor — foot traffic, furniture, weather, and freeze-thaw cycles. We build patios the way a structural contractor builds a floor: excavated to proper depth, geotextile fabric to prevent base migration, compacted aggregate in engineered lifts, a bedding layer screeded to exact grade, and pavers or natural stone laid with tight joints and polymeric sand. Then we seal it. The result is a patio that stays level, drains properly, and looks better in ten years than the day it was built.

    Engineered aggregate base prevents settling and cracking

    Premium natural flagstone, bluestone, or manufactured pavers

    Proper slope for drainage — no pooling or ice buildup

    Professional sealing locks in color and prevents staining

    How We Build

    Our Patio Build Process

    1

    Layout & Excavation

    We lay out the patio, verify utilities, and excavate to the correct depth for your soil and climate — typically 7–9 inches total.

    2

    Base & Bedding

    Geotextile fabric, compacted aggregate base in lifts, and a screeded bedding layer set to exact grade with drainage slope.

    3

    Surface Installation

    Pavers or natural stone laid in your chosen pattern, cut to fit edges, and jointed with polymeric sand for a locked, weed-free surface.

    4

    Sealing & Finish

    Professional sealer applied to lock in color, resist stains, and protect against freeze-thaw damage.
