Whether it's a stacked garden wall, a custom stone pizza oven, or a blue stone patio, we got you covered.

Patio Materials We Work With

Concrete

Concrete with a brushed finish is usually the most cost-effective choice for a patio or driveway. We dig out 8 to 14 inches of topsoil, install 4 to 6 inches of clean stone, lay rebar, then have a truck pour it. We finish it with a fine broom and saw cut or joint as necessary. We also form steps, curbs, or walls. If you want functionality without design, this is for you.

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete is becoming an attractive alternative to pavers or natural stone due to its cost-effectiveness. The installation process resembles concrete, except a dye is added, and the product is stamped with rubber mats. The product is then accented with a secondary color and sealed with a protective glossy sealer. Our stamps include several pavers, wood plank, and irregular stone designs. We also have accents such as a compass rose or border accents. Stamped concrete can last longer than pavers if taken care of properly, and the cracks are minimal.

Manufactured Pavers and Block

Pavers bridge the gap between cost-effectiveness and longevity. Depending on the quality of the paver, installation price varies from being as inexpensive as concrete to being more expensive than natural stone. The advantage of pavers is that, unlike concrete, it does not crack or easily chip. Also, the heights can easily be adjusted in case of minor settlement. Further, it can be seamlessly torn apart and put back together if a utility line underneath it needs attention. Finally, our top-quality manufacturers work tirelessly to showcase their designs and become trendsetters of what a modern paradise should look like.

Wall block manufacturers style their walls and caps to match the design of the paver. Usually, an 18x8" block and a 3" concrete cap are usually the most economical retaining walls. Still, designers have crafted various aesthetically pleasing designs to suit your needs best, from garden walls to retaining walls of parking lots. We always install our walls with proper drainage and the prescribed structural support.

Brick

Brick can be installed with or without mortar and is used for patios and landscape walls. The cost and durability resemble the range of concrete pavers, but brick is a timeless fashion and usually doesn't weather as fast as its concrete counterparts.

Natural Stone

Natural Stone is the gold standard of quality, style, and longevity. A retiring professional acquaintance who lives in a northern state with a lot of snow (and salt) has expressed that he wishes he had specialized in natural stone due to the fast corrosion of pavers. Stone weathers very little and, with proper care, can last centuries. Natural stone slabs come in various colors and widths and can be thermal or natural clefts. Thermal stones are cut and torched at the quarry, and natural cleft stones are simply split along fault lines. Generally, the more durable the stone, the more expensive it is. Natural stone is the best option for durability and longevity, whether it's a stacked boulder wall, a custom stone veneer pizza oven, or a blue stone patio.
