We specialize in custom designing and building paver installations tailored to each customer's unique needs. Our skilled team crafts beautiful and durable walkways, patios, driveways, pool decks, garden paths, retaining walls, and fire pit areas using high-quality materials suited for the Seattle climate.

We work closely with clients to create visually appealing, functional spaces that complement their homes and landscapes, considering factors like weather durability, drainage, and style preferences. From initial design to the final installation, we ensure each project enhances the outdoor space and stands the test of time.

Project Types

Whether you're installing a small walkway or a large patio, different types of projects require different considerations. Here’s a breakdown of common types of landscaping projects that involve pavers:

  • Walkways: Create paths between areas in your yard or garden with durable and attractive pavers.
  • Patios: Design a perfect outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, choosing the right pavers for comfort and style.
  • Driveways: Strong and sturdy pavers make for a functional and attractive driveway solution.
  • Pool decks: Pavers around a pool area can add a sleek, slip-resistant surface that complements the water features.
  • Garden paths: Pavers provide a clean and defined path through your garden, adding beauty and accessibility.
  • Retaining walls: Use pavers to create retaining walls that help manage elevation changes in your yard.
  • Fire pit areas: A designated area for a fire pit adds a cozy touch to your outdoor space. Pavers make the perfect foundation for these setups.

Materials

Different materials offer various benefits in terms of durability, style, and maintenance. Choosing the right material is crucial for your project’s success.

  • Concrete: A cost-effective, durable material that comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. It’s easy to maintain and install, making it a popular choice for driveways and patios.
  • Brick: Classic and timeless, brick pavers offer a rustic look that works well for traditional or colonial-style landscaping.
  • Natural stone (e.g., slate, granite, limestone): Adds a natural, high-end look to your outdoor spaces. Stone pavers are strong and weather-resistant, but they may be more expensive.
  • Porcelain: Known for its smooth finish and vibrant colors, porcelain pavers are resistant to stains and are a great choice for modern designs.
  • Rubber (eco-friendly): Made from recycled materials, rubber pavers are eco-friendly, slip-resistant, and comfortable underfoot, making them ideal for pool decks or playgrounds.

Style

The style of your pavers can significantly influence the overall look of your yard or garden. Different styles complement different types of landscaping.

  • Contemporary/Modern: Clean lines, minimalist design, and sleek pavers create a bold, modern look.
  • Rustic/Natural: Earthy colors and irregular shapes that blend seamlessly with natural surroundings, perfect for creating a more organic feel.
  • Traditional: Timeless, classic styles that create a welcoming and charming atmosphere, often featuring symmetrical patterns and neutral tones.
  • Mediterranean/Tuscan: Warm, earthy tones and textured pavers evoke a Mediterranean feel, perfect for patios and outdoor dining areas.
  • Colonial: Traditional and elegant, colonial-style pavers often feature brick and stone with a symmetrical, well-ordered layout.
  • Minimalist: Simple, clean pavers in neutral colors that allow the natural surroundings to take center stage.
  • Coastal: Light, airy colors and natural textures to create a beach-inspired atmosphere, ideal for pool decks and patios near water features.

Patterns

The pattern you choose for your pavers can enhance the visual appeal of your project. Here are some popular patterns to consider:

  • Running bond: A classic brick-laying pattern where each row of pavers is offset from the one below it. It’s a timeless and simple choice for walkways and patios.
  • Herringbone: A V-shaped pattern that’s both visually striking and durable. It’s often used in driveways or patios for a sophisticated look.
  • Basketweave: A pattern where the pavers alternate in a way that resembles a woven basket. It’s great for creating a traditional, elegant feel.
  • Circular/rotational: Pavers arranged in a circular pattern can make an area feel more dynamic and inviting, often used around fire pits or as focal points in gardens.
  • Randomized: A non-uniform pattern that adds an organic, natural feel to any space. It’s perfect for garden paths or casual spaces.
  • Hexagonal or custom geometric: Unique shapes and patterns that can create a more modern, structured look, ideal for contemporary landscapes.

Location

Where you place the pavers will affect their function and aesthetic. Here are some key locations to consider for your project:

  • Front yard: Pavers in the front yard create a welcoming entrance to your home and can be used for walkways or driveways.
  • Backyard: Perfect for patios, garden paths, or seating areas, backyard pavers create a relaxing outdoor space.
  • Side yard: Utilize pavers for narrow walkways or pathways that connect the front and back of your house.
  • Garden pathways: Pavers offer a practical and attractive way to navigate through your garden without disturbing plant life.
  • Poolside: Slip-resistant pavers provide safety around your pool area, adding both function and style.
  • Commercial areas: Durable, easy-to-maintain pavers are ideal for public spaces, storefronts, and walkways.

Drainage

Proper drainage is crucial for the longevity of your pavers and the health of your landscape. Consider these drainage options:

  • Permeable pavers: Allow water to filter through the surface, reducing water runoff and helping with ground absorption.
  • Sloped surfaces: Ensure the surface slopes away from structures to allow water runoff and prevent flooding.
  • French drains: Installed to channel excess water away from your yard, particularly useful in low-lying areas.
  • Catch basins: Collect excess water in areas that tend to pool and redirect it away from your landscape.
  • Gutter systems: Installed along the edges of paved areas to catch and direct water away from the surface.

Materials (Sub-base)

A strong, stable sub-base is key to ensuring your pavers stay level and durable over time. The right materials help prevent settling and shifting.

  • Sand: Often used as the final layer for leveling and stabilizing pavers.
  • Gravel: Provides a solid base that allows for good drainage and reduces shifting.
  • Crushed stone: A stronger sub-base material that compacts well and ensures stability.
  • Bedding sand (final layer): Ensures that pavers settle into place and remain level.

Choosing a reputable brand for your pavers ensures you’re getting high-quality materials that will last. Here are some trusted names:

    • Belgard: Known for its premium concrete pavers and wide range of styles.

Use Cases

  • Residential: Pavers are perfect for patios, driveways, and pathways, adding beauty and functionality to your outdoor spaces.
  • Commercial: Pavers are durable enough for high-traffic areas like storefront walkways and public spaces.
  • Heavy-traffic areas: Pavers are ideal for places where vehicles or foot traffic are frequent, such as driveways and pathways.
  • Decorative: Pavers can add a decorative touch to garden beds, fire pits, and other landscaped areas.

Slope and Grade

Proper grading is essential for water drainage and the longevity of your pavers. Here’s how to determine the best slope:

  • Slight slope: A 1-2% grade ensures water flows off the pavers without pooling.
  • Level: For pedestrian paths, a level surface ensures comfort and accessibility.
  • Increased grade: In areas without proper drainage, a steeper grade helps direct water away from the surface.
