It’s important to know exactly what to expect from a patio installation so you’re pleased with the finished product.
There’s a lot to consider before installing a patio on your property. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be designed for several purposes that may or may not suit your needs. Building a patio is an exciting process that transforms your home’s exterior. However, many homeowners don’t know what to expect. Whether you’d like a patio with a large garden or one that compliments a swimming pool, it’s important to know exactly what to expect so you’re pleased with the finished product.
Surveying the Land
Your home’s landscape can affect the size and shape of your patio. Issues can arise when working around hills, trees, and other obstructions. Some factors to consider when choosing where your patio will go include:
- Shade from the sun: If possible, place the patio on the shady side of your home or under a large tree. If neither is possible, there are artificial options like an awning.
- Natural Airflow: A cool summer breeze can take a relaxing afternoon to the next level. Try to build your patio away from a large feature that would obstruct the airflow.
- Noise Pollution: Ruins a tranquil afternoon in the shade. Try to avoid installing your patio near loud parts of your home, such as the laundry room.
- Space available on your property is important for sizing your patio and ensuring the finished product can make the area appear larger.
- Protection from inclement weather is especially important if the patio includes outdoor furniture and other set pieces. A contingency plan for such events will help prevent damage.
The Patio Installation
When you have a patio installed by our experts, they will walk through your property to ensure there aren’t any constraints, determine the project’s scope, discuss your budget, and find the ideal design. We’ll let you know how much site work needs to happen and where the patio would fit best in your outdoor living space. If there is already existing landscaping, hardscaping, and landscape drainage, we will ensure that the patio complements these existing features.
Our patio installation process has been refined over the years to ensure that you have a perfectly designed, seamlessly installed final product. You will feel cared for throughout the process, from the initial design meeting to the installation itself. With all of our projects, we take the time to assess your existing landscaping, hardscaping, and drainage so that your new patio will not negatively affect anything else in your yard.
Our Patio Builders Will Install Your Patio Correctly
Patio installation is more than laying out the pavers.

As ICPI-certified patio installers, we have the knowledge and skill necessary to ensure your investment lasts. An interlocking paver patio, when installed properly, will stand the test of time and bring enjoyment to you and your loved ones for years to come.
