Types of Patios and Walkways
We design and install a variety of patios and walkways to suit different needs and styles:
- Patios:
- Outdoor Dining Patios: Perfect for entertaining guests and dining al fresco. We design these to seamlessly integrate with your existing landscape and provide a functional space for gatherings.
- Lounge Patios: Designed for relaxation and leisure, these patios are ideal for creating a cozy outdoor living area with comfortable seating and decorative elements.
- Multi-Level Patios: If you have a sloped yard, multi-level patios can create distinct areas for different activities while making the most of your available space.
- Walkways:
- Garden Walkways: Designed to enhance garden paths and connect different parts of your yard. These walkways are both functional and visually appealing, guiding visitors through your outdoor space.
- Entry Walkways: Leading from the driveway to your front door, these walkways create an inviting entrance to your home.
- Pathways to Features: Connect various features of your landscape, such as fire pits, water features, or seating areas, with well-designed pathways.
Installation Process
After finalizing the design and materials, our experienced team starts the installation process. Here’s an overview of the steps:
- Site Preparation: We clear the area of obstacles and prepare the ground to ensure stability. This step includes grading and leveling to create a solid base.
- Foundation Construction: A strong foundation is essential for the longevity of your patio or walkway. This may involve digging trenches and laying a base of gravel or sand.
- Installation: We carefully place and secure the chosen materials, ensuring that each piece is level and properly aligned. For patios, this includes laying out the pattern and ensuring precise fitting. For walkways, we ensure smooth transitions and even surfaces.
- Finishing Touches: We apply any necessary sealing or finishing treatments to protect the surface and enhance its appearance. The surrounding area is then landscaped to integrate with the new patio or walkway.
