Custom Stone & Paver Patios

A well-designed patio extends your living space beyond the walls of your home. It creates a perfect spot for family meals, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing after a long day. Whether you envision intimate gatherings or large parties, a custom patio provides the foundation for your outdoor lifestyle. The right patio design turns an underused backyard into the favorite part of your home.

Here in Elk Grove, our climate is ideal for outdoor living much of the year. A quality patio lets you take full advantage of California sunshine and pleasant evenings. Unlike wood decks that require constant maintenance, stone and paver patios deliver lasting beauty with minimal upkeep. They do not rot, warp, or splinter. They handle temperature changes without damage. They resist fading from UV exposure and maintain their appearance for decades with just occasional cleaning.

Beyond resale value, it enhances your daily enjoyment of your home and creates lasting memories with family and friends. Whether you are planning comprehensive outdoor renovations or starting with a patio project, we help you create spaces that truly enhance your lifestyle.

The materials you select for your patio dramatically impact both aesthetics and functionality. Each option offers distinct advantages in terms of appearance, durability, maintenance, and cost. We help you evaluate your priorities and choose materials that align with your vision, budget, and how you plan to use your outdoor space.

A beautiful patio starts with proper foundation work that most people never see. This is where professional installation makes all the difference. Cutting corners on base preparation leads to settling, cracking, and drainage problems down the road. We follow proven methods that ensure your patio remains level, stable, and beautiful for decades to come.

We begin by carefully excavating the patio area to the proper depth, accounting for base materials and the thickness of your chosen paving material. The excavated area gets graded to direct water away from your house and prevent pooling. We install a compacted gravel base that provides drainage and a stable foundation. A layer of sand creates the setting bed for pavers or provides a level surface for mortared stone work.

As we install your patio surface, we pay meticulous attention to spacing, leveling, and pattern alignment. Edge restraints keep pavers from shifting over time. For natural stone, we select and position each piece to create an attractive, balanced layout. We cut materials precisely where needed to fit around obstacles or create clean edges. The final steps include joint filling, sealing if appropriate for your material choice, and cleanup. Throughout the process, we protect your landscaping and existing hardscape features. For comprehensive outdoor transformations, we also offer paver walkways and driveways that complement your new patio perfectly.
