We proudly provide walkways and patios in Holly Springs, Raleigh, Apex, Morrisville, Fuquay and surrounding areas. If you live in or around these cities and have considered adding an outdoor living space to your home, contact us today to discuss your project.
The Process
Step 1
Pick the size and shape of your patio. The size and the shape of the patio help narrow down material selection.
Step 2
Choose the final height of the patio. Our expert patio contractors will grade and fill as needed to achieve whatever height works best in your space.
Step 3
Choose your materials and pattern. The options are endless, but our team will work with you to determine what will work best in your space while helping you achieve the look and feel you desire.
Step 4
Sit back and watch our professionals construct your patio! First they excavate as needed to provide room for the necessary base. Next, they create a base using a minimum of 4” of ABC aggregate (commonly called Crush and Run here in NC). The base could be substantially thicker depending on the pavers application. Once the base is thoroughly tamped and solid, they add an inch of screeded, tamped sand to create a perfectly uniform surface with just the right slope to keep water shedding off. Then, our team places the pavers you selected in the predetermined pattern on the prepared surface. Last but not least, they brush polymeric sand into the joints between the pavers and give it one final tamp to create a solid, uniform surface. The polymeric sand is water activated and creates strong joints that will last for years to come!
Step 5
Enjoy your patio!
Patio Overlays
Do you have an existing unsightly concrete patio that you would like updated? Patio overlays are a smart alternative to tearing out existing concrete and replacing it with pavers. In fact, concrete is the best base you can create!
The dimensional stone slabs we use for patio overlay projects are hand cut and then milled on the backside to be exactly 1” so the installation is similar to tile. They are not limited to existing concrete applications, and can be installed on top of an ABC (crush and run in NC) base virtually anywhere. Because the dimensional stone slabs only add 1-1/2″ of material to the existing concrete, patio overlays are an excellent choice for projects that have limited clearance for exterior doors or steps.
