Proper Base Preparation Matters
Long-term patio performance depends heavily on proper excavation, grading, base preparation, and drainage management.
We focus on:
- Proper excavation depth
- Compacted aggregate base installation
- Grading and water management
- Edge restraint installation
- Drainage planning
- Long-term structural stability
A properly installed base helps reduce future settling, shifting, and drainage problems.
Retaining Walls and Elevated Patio Areas
Some patio projects require retaining walls to help manage elevation changes or support raised patio spaces.
Retaining walls can help create:
- Larger usable backyard areas
- Elevated entertainment spaces
- Seating wall integration
- Smoother transitions between elevations
- Improved backyard functionality
We frequently integrate retaining walls directly into paver patio designs for both structural support and appearance.

Popular fire feature additions include:
- Gas fire pits
- Wood-burning fire pits

Landscape lighting helps improve nighttime visibility, atmosphere, and functionality throughout outdoor living spaces.
Lighting can be incorporated into:
