Patios
A patio, sized and based for how your yard actually drains.
Paver, natural stone or poured concrete — the material you pick changes the price less than the slope, the soil and what has to come out first.
The build
What happens between the call and the first paver.
- Step 1
We walk the yard
Slope, drainage, soil, what has to come out first — the site evaluation is what turns a square-footage guess into a real number.
- Step 2
You pick the material
Paver, natural stone or poured concrete for a patio; block, stone or boulder for a wall. We show you finished examples of each, not a swatch.
- Step 3
We prep the base
Compacted gravel, geotextile fabric and drainage first — photographed before anything covers it. This is the part that decides whether it lasts.
- Step 4
We build it
Most patios under 500 square feet finish in three to five working days once the crew is on-site.
Material options
Three surfaces, three different trade-offs.
Paver Patio Installation
Quoted per projectInterlocking concrete or clay paver, set on a compacted base sized to your soil, not a one-size fits all spec. Most Forsyth County clay needs more base than the sales brochure assumes.
Natural Stone Patio Installation
Quoted per projectFlagstone or travertine, dry-laid or mortared depending on use. Costs more than paver up front and moves less over twenty years if the base underneath is done right.
Poured & Stamped Concrete Patio
Quoted per projectThe lowest-cost of the three surfaces and the one most likely to crack on our clay soil without the right base and control joints. Honest for a tight budget; we'll say when paver or stone is the better long-term buy instead.
Pricing
What actually decides what a patio costs.
Not a made-up range — the real list, so a quote makes sense instead of feeling arbitrary.
What actually decides the price
- Square footage — the obvious one, but rarely the biggest swing
- Slope and grade — a sloped yard needs retaining or extra base work most flat lots don't
- What is already there — old concrete or a dead patio usually has to come out before anything new goes in
- Drainage — a yard that already holds water costs more to build on than one that doesn't
- Material — paver, natural stone and poured concrete are three different price points before labor is even counted
- Wall height — anything over 4 feet needs engineering and a permit, which is real added cost, not padding
Fire pits and lighting get a starting price above because they're the same size wherever they go. A patio's price depends on your yard specifically, which is what a site evaluation is actually for.
Why us
You see the base before it's covered.
You see three finished projects like yours first
Same slope, same soil, close to your square footage — before you sign anything. If we haven't built something close to what you're describing, we'll say so.
Silas runs every site evaluation himself
The person who has to answer for how a wall holds up in five years is the person who looks at your yard, not a salesperson working off a form.
Questions
What homeowners ask before a patio project.
- Why can't you just give me a price over the phone?
- Because two patios the same size can cost very differently once slope, drainage and what's already there get factored in. A number given before anyone has seen your yard is a guess, not a quote.
- How long does a typical patio project take?
- Most paver patios under 500 square feet run three to five working days once the crew is on-site — base prep is most of that time, not the pavers themselves. Design and material selection before that usually takes one to two weeks.
