Custom Stone & Paver Patios

A custom patio is more than just an outdoor floor. It is an extension of your living space where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy Colorado's beautiful weather. Whether you dream of hosting weekend barbecues, creating a quiet reading spot, or building an outdoor dining area, the right patio makes it all possible. And unlike wood decks that require constant maintenance, stone and paver patios last for decades with minimal care.

Here in Greeley, we understand that your outdoor space needs to handle our weather extremes. Intense summer sun, occasional hail, and those freeze-thaw cycles that hit us every winter can damage poorly built patios. That is why proper installation matters so much. We use proven techniques that account for soil conditions, drainage patterns, and climate factors specific to our area. The result is a patio that looks great year after year without cracking, settling, or developing uneven surfaces.

We have designed and installed custom patios throughout Greeley for years, and every project is different. Some homeowners want a simple rectangular space for grilling. Others envision elaborate multi-level patios with built-in seating, fire pits, and decorative borders. Whatever your vision, we work with you to design a patio that fits your property, matches your home's style, and works within your budget. Our goal is to create an outdoor space that you will actually use and enjoy, not just admire from inside.

One of the most important decisions you will make is selecting materials for your patio. The choices can feel overwhelming, but we help you understand the pros and cons of each option so you can make the right choice for your needs. Here are the most popular materials we install for Greeley homeowners:

• Natural flagstone offers unique colors and textures with an organic, timeless look that never goes out of style
• Concrete pavers provide uniform shapes and sizes, making them ideal for clean geometric patterns and modern designs
• Bluestone delivers elegant blue-gray tones and smooth surfaces perfect for formal entertaining spaces
• Travertine brings warm earth tones and a textured surface that stays cooler underfoot during hot summer days
• Limestone creates a sophisticated look with soft neutral colors that complement any architectural style
• Brick pavers add classic charm and durability, working beautifully with traditional home designs

During your free consultation, we bring material samples to your property so you can see how they look in your actual lighting conditions. We discuss the maintenance requirements, durability, and cost of each option. Some materials need periodic sealing, while others are virtually maintenance-free. Some work better for specific applications like pool decks or areas with heavy furniture. We want you to choose materials you will love for years to come, not just what looks good in a showroom.

Building a patio that lasts requires more than just laying stones on the ground. The foundation work is critical. We start by excavating to the proper depth, then create a stable base using compacted gravel and sand. This base prevents settling and allows water to drain away from your patio surface. Poor drainage is the number one cause of patio problems, so we pay careful attention to grading and slope.

Once the base is ready, we install edge restraints to keep everything in place. Then we carefully set each stone or paver according to your chosen pattern. We check levels constantly to ensure a smooth, even surface. The spacing between pavers matters too. Proper joint width allows for thermal expansion and makes the patio more stable over time. After setting all the pavers, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints, which locks everything together and prevents weed growth.

Throughout the project, we keep your property clean and protect your landscaping. We know having a construction zone in your backyard is disruptive, so we work efficiently and communicate clearly about timelines. Most patios take several days to complete, depending on size and complexity. When we finish, we conduct a thorough cleanup and walkthrough to make sure you are completely satisfied. Many of our patio customers also invest in outdoor fireplaces and kitchens to create a complete outdoor living space.

A well-designed patio adds significant value to your home. Real estate agents consistently tell us that quality outdoor living spaces help homes sell faster and for higher prices. But the real value comes from how much you enjoy using your outdoor space. Think about how you want to use your patio. Do you need space for a dining table and chairs? Will you have a grill or outdoor kitchen? Do you want areas for both sun and shade?

We help you think through these questions during the design phase. Sometimes small additions like built-in seating, lighting, or a fire pit can make your patio much more functional and enjoyable. We can also plan for future additions. Maybe you want a basic patio now but might add an outdoor kitchen later. We can design the space and prepare the foundation so future additions blend seamlessly with your existing patio.

Maintenance requirements vary by material, but most stone and paver patios need very little upkeep. Periodic sweeping, occasional power washing, and resealing every few years keeps them looking great. This is far less work than maintaining a wood deck, which requires annual staining and regular repairs. We provide detailed care instructions when we complete your project so you know exactly how to keep your patio in top condition. If you have existing masonry that needs attention, our brick repair services can restore it to like-new condition.
