Patios & Walkways

What's Included

A patio is only as good as what's underneath it. We excavate, lay and compact a solid base, and set every paver so your patio or walkway stays flat and doesn't heave or sink after a few winters.

Whether you want a simple walkway to the front door or a full backyard patio with a fire pit, we'll help you pick the layout and materials, then build it clean and on schedule.

Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on hardscaping. Water gets under a poorly built patio, freezes, and pushes pavers up. Around Lansing, heavy clay soil makes that worse because it holds water. That's why we put most of the work into what you won't see: digging out the soft soil, building up a compacted gravel base, and sloping the surface so water runs off.

  • Layout and material selection
  • Removal of old concrete or pavers
  • Excavation and compacted base
  • Paver or stone installation
  • Edge restraints and joint sand
  • Fire pits and seating areas

Common Questions

Patios & Walkways FAQs

How long does a paver patio take to install?

Most residential patios take a few days once work starts, depending on size, access, and whether an old patio has to be removed first. We'll give you a timeline with your estimate.

Can you remove my old concrete patio?

Yes. Demolition and tear-outs are one of our services, so we can remove the old slab and build the new patio as one job.

Will pavers heave in Michigan winters?

Heaving usually comes from a poor base. We excavate to the right depth and compact the base in layers to keep your patio stable.

Can you add a fire pit?

Yes. We build fire pits and seating areas as part of a patio or as a standalone project.

Pavers or poured concrete: which is better?

Pavers handle Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles better because the joints let them flex, and a single damaged paver can be replaced. Poured concrete usually costs less up front but tends to crack over time and is harder to repair.

How do I take care of a paver patio?

Sweep it, rinse it, and top off the joint sand if it washes out. Many homeowners also seal their pavers every few years to protect the color.
