Transform Your Backyard with a Custom Patio

Your backyard should be more than just grass and empty space. A well designed patio creates an outdoor room where you can relax, entertain guests, or enjoy family time. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a spacious area for weekend barbecues, a custom patio makes your outdoor space truly functional and beautiful.

Stone and paver patios offer incredible versatility. You can choose from countless colors, patterns, and materials to match your home's style and your personal taste. Unlike concrete slabs that crack and stain, pavers remain easy to maintain and repair. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, and the surface naturally drains water instead of creating puddles.

• •Superior durability that stands up to Florida weather and heavy use
• •Easy maintenance and repairs since individual pavers can be replaced

In Port St. Lucie, where outdoor living is a year round pleasure, a quality patio becomes one of the most used spaces in your home. We design patios that handle Florida's heat, humidity, and occasional storms while looking great for decades.

Patio Material Options

Choosing the right material for your patio affects both appearance and performance. We offer several options, each with distinct characteristics that suit different styles and budgets.

Natural Stone Patios

Natural stone delivers unmatched beauty and uniqueness. No two stone patios look exactly alike because each piece of stone has its own color variations and texture. Flagstone, bluestone, limestone, and travertine are popular choices. Stone stays cooler underfoot than concrete pavers, making it comfortable even on hot Florida days. The irregular shapes and natural colors blend beautifully with landscape plantings. Stone patios age gracefully, developing character over time rather than looking worn out.

Concrete Pavers

Modern concrete pavers have come a long way. They are manufactured to precise dimensions for easier installation and uniform appearance. You can find pavers that mimic natural stone, brick, or create contemporary geometric patterns. Concrete pavers cost less than natural stone while still providing excellent durability and a wide range of colors. They work perfectly for creating intricate patterns and designs that would be difficult with irregular stone.

Brick Pavers

Brick pavers bring classic elegance to outdoor spaces. Their warm tones complement traditional home styles beautifully. Brick is incredibly durable and maintains its color for decades. You can arrange brick pavers in various patterns like herringbone, basket weave, or running bond to create visual interest. Brick also pairs well with other materials if you want to create borders or accent areas within your patio design.

Travertine Pavers

Travertine offers luxury at a reasonable price point. This natural stone has a smooth, sophisticated appearance that works well with Mediterranean and contemporary home styles. Travertine stays remarkably cool underfoot, even in direct sunlight. It resists mold and mildew growth, which matters in Florida's humid climate. The neutral tones coordinate easily with any outdoor furniture or decor choices.

Our Patio Design and Installation Process

Creating a patio that lasts requires proper planning and installation. We follow a proven process that ensures your patio performs well and looks beautiful for years to come.

Design Consultation

We start by visiting your property to see the space and understand your vision. We discuss how you plan to use the patio, your style preferences, and your budget. Then we create a custom design that maximizes your space while complementing your home's architecture. We show you material samples and help you choose colors and patterns that work together. This consultation ensures the finished patio matches your expectations perfectly.

Site Preparation

Proper foundation work separates patios that last from those that fail. We excavate to the correct depth, grade the area for drainage, and compact the soil. Then we install a crushed stone base and sand bedding layer. Each layer is carefully leveled and compacted to create a stable foundation. This prevents settling, shifting, or sinking that ruins cheaper installations. Good preparation takes time but pays off with a patio that stays level and beautiful.

Paver Installation

We set each paver precisely according to the design plan. Maintaining consistent spacing and alignment throughout creates a professional appearance. We cut pavers as needed to fit around curves, obstacles, or create borders. After all pavers are set, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints. This special sand hardens when wet, locking pavers in place and preventing weed growth between joints.

Finishing Touches

Edge restraints secure the perimeter and prevent pavers from shifting outward over time. We can add steps, seat walls, or lighting to enhance functionality and ambiance. Finally, we clean the entire surface and apply sealant if desired. Sealant protects pavers from stains and enhances color, though it requires periodic reapplication. The result is a stunning patio ready for immediate use and years of enjoyment.
