What it Costs??
A straightforward patio typically starts around $15,000–25,000. Patios with seat walls, fire features, lighting and drainage generally run $30,000–75,000. If it's part of a larger backyard build, the whole-project number is usually lower than pricing each piece separately.
Hardscape & Pavers
A paver patio is only as good as what's underneath it. Georgia clay swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, water always finds the low spot, and a patio set on an unprepared base will telegraph both problems by the third season. Sunken corners. Joints opening up. A step that used to be level.
We grade the area, solve the drainage, and compact the base in lifts before a single paver is set.
Plan with Purpose
Patios and terraces · Walkways and steppers · Driveways and aprons · Seat walls and columns · Outdoor fireplaces and fire features · Pool decking and coping · Steps and grade transitions
A fire bowl rolls out of the garage in October. A fireplace needs a footing, masonry and a flue — and it turns a patio from a summer space into a room that gets used in January.
If you're weighing the two, the honest question is which months you actually want to be out there. That answer usually decides it.
What We Install
Anyone can set stone. The difference between a patio that still looks right in year ten and one that needs re-laying in year three is excavation depth, base material, compaction in lifts, and where the water goes.
We document that stage — the same standard we're held to on municipal contracts, where an inspector signs off on compaction before anything gets covered. On a residential patio nobody makes us do that. We do it anyway, because it's the only part of the job you can't fix later.
