Types of Patios
Paver patios (ground-level). The versatile choice for outdoor dining, grills, fire pits, and lounge areas. We design with borders and inlays to create visual interest and define zones.
Raised patios. Perfect where the yard drops away from the house or when you want indoor-to-outdoor living on one level. Built with engineered retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement, and secure railing options. Great for walk-out basements and doors with higher thresholds.
Multi-level & stepped patios. Transition gracefully between elevations with wide, comfortable steps and landings. Ideal for sloped lots and for connecting doors, driveways, and pool decks.
Pool-side patios & decks. Cooler underfoot and safer when wet, with drainage planned into every line. Coping, lighting, and furniture layouts are designed from the start so the space works the way you live.
Barn rubber paver areas. Equine-grade rubber pavers for barns, wash bays, play spaces, and select pool surrounds. Softer underfoot, slip-resistant, and quieter — a smart option where comfort and safety matter most.
Walkways, stoops, and landings. Tie the whole property together with matching materials and lighting. We can retrofit new steps to existing porches for a seamless look.
Our Patio Process
1) Design & layout – We measure, discuss usage (dining, fire pit, grill), and layout the ideal size and shape.
2) Excavation & base – Remove soil, install geotextile as needed, and compact layered aggregate to spec.
3) Edge restraint – Secure edging to lock pavers in place.
4) Laying pavers – Choose colors, patterns (herringbone, running bond, random), borders/inlays.
5) Joint sand & compaction – Vibratory compaction and polymeric sand for a stable, low-maintenance finish.
6) Cleanup & walkthrough – Final rinse, care tips, and warranty information.
Popular Paver Options
- Concrete pavers. Durable, color-fast, and available in smooth, tumbled, slate-textured, and flagstone looks. Patterns include running bond, herringbone, basketweave, and random modular. Excellent value for patios and pool decks.
- Permeable pavers. Built with larger joints and a stone reservoir to move water through the surface. Helps relieve puddling and can reduce the need for additional drains. Great for problem areas.
- Clay brick pavers. Timeless color through the full brick. Ideal for historic homes and classic borders around modern patios.
- Natural stone (by request). Travertine, limestone, bluestone, and granite for a premium, organic look. Pairs well with pool coping and raised patio caps.
- Barn rubber pavers. Recycled-rubber tiles with interlocking or tongue-and-groove edges. Slip-resistant when wet, comfortable to stand on, and quieter than hard surfaces. Color choices are typically black, brown, and red tones. Best for barns, play zones, and targeted pool-side paths rather than large sun-baked areas.
- Borders, accents, and coping. Contrast borders define edges and protect field patterns. Coping options for steps and pool edges include bullnose, split-face, and eased-edge profiles.
- Color families we install often. Warm tans and buff, modern charcoals and grays, and blended “two-tone” mixes that hide dust and everyday use.

FAQs
How much does a paver patio cost in Louisville, KY?
Most projects fall between $15–$30 per sq ft depending on size, base depth, paver style, borders, and add-ons. We provide free, written estimates.
How long does installation take?
Typical patios install in 1–2 weeks, weather and size depending. Larger projects with walls or kitchens take longer.
Do paver patios need sealing?
Sealing is optional but helps with color retention and stain resistance. We can seal after the patio has settled and cured.
Why choose pavers over concrete?
Pavers resist cracking, individual units can be replaced, and patterns/colors add curb appeal. With proper base and drainage they perform very well in Kentucky’s climate.
