Our client wanted to expand her back patio on a new-construction home, so we designed a generous, entertainer-ready space complete with a tasteful fence, a sturdy retaining wall, and thoughtfully chosen low‑maintenance plantings. Every detail focused on durability and easy living—ample room for gatherings, clean lines that complement the house, and plants that stay attractive with minimal upkeep. The secret to a great paver patio is meticulous prep: proper subgrade compaction, accurate slope for drainage, a stable base of crushed stone, and precise edge restraint. That foundation ensures the patio looks beautiful and performs flawlessly for years.
