Base Preparation and Drainage

What goes underneath the patio is what separates a clean patio installation in Anne Arundel County, MD, from one that shifts and heaves after a few winters.

  • Excavated to Maryland Frost Depth: Site dug down to the depth required for our regional freeze-thaw cycle.
  • Compacted in Lifts: Crushed stone laid in layers and compacted with a plate compactor between each layer.
  • Sloped For Drainage: Patio surface graded away from the house at a measured pitch so water moves where it should.
The front of a white, two-story house with black shutters and a red front door. A small porch with a white peaked roof and two white columns covers the entrance. A light-colored stone or concrete patio has been installed in front of the house. This patio is partially enclosed by a low, curved wall of gray-and-black textured stone.

Paver Material Options

The paver itself is the most-looked-at surface on a patio, and the material is selected during the design phase.

  • Concrete Pavers: Manufactured concrete units in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes.
  • Natural Stone: Bluestone, travertine, and flagstone for a higher-end look with natural color variation.
  • Clay Brick: Traditional brick pavers for historic homes or formal patios.
  • Permeable Pavers: Open-jointed pavers that allow water to drain through the surface, often required by HOAs in stormwater-managed neighborhoods.

Patios & Pavers Builder FAQs

Will my patio shift or settle over time?
Not when the base is done right. Patios in Maryland almost always fail because of a thin or poorly compacted base that cannot withstand the freeze-thaw cycle. Our base preparation goes deeper than most, and edge restraints around the perimeter hold the outer course in place, preventing the pattern from creeping outward.
One to two weeks on site once construction begins. The schedule depends on square footage, site access, and any built-in features like steps, seat walls, or lighting.
What is the price range for a paver patio?
Paver patios vary widely in size, material selection, and built-in features such as seat walls, steps, or lighting. We do not take on patio projects under 200 sq. ft. You will get a specific number after the in-home consultation.
Yes. A paver patio can be installed open and upgraded later with a fire feature, low seat wall, or pergola without disturbing the existing surface. If a feature is on your wishlist for down the road, mention it during the design phase so we can size and position the patio for it.
