Overview

If you've been saying “we'd like to put in a paver patio,” you're probably picturing more than pavers.

You're picturing dinners outside, a place for chairs that doesn't sink into the lawn, and a backyard that finally feels finished. We design paver patios around how you'll actually use the space, then build them with the precision that keeps them looking sharp.

Owner Cole Schenck helps you work through the decisions that make a patio feel right: the overall shape, how big it needs to be for the way you entertain, and how it flows from the back door into the rest of the yard. Those recommendations are part of every free estimate, so you can see the plan before you commit to anything.

The result is outdoor living space with clean lines, tight joints, and a border that holds its shape, built on a base that's prepared to last through Iowa's changing seasons.

Planning

What we consider in every paver patio

  • 01

    Size & shape

    We plan around seating, dining, and how people move through the space. Straight lines or curves are chosen to echo the house and the surrounding beds.

  • 02

    Base preparation

    Excavation, a compacted base, and grading that sends runoff away from the house. What lies beneath the pavers determines how well the patio holds up over time.

  • 03

    Materials & color

    Large-format pavers, border courses, and accent bands. We help you choose combinations that complement your home's siding, roof, and trim.

  • 04

    Borders & edges

    A contrasting border course frames the patio, gives it a finished look, and helps it hold its shape for years.

  • 05

    Connection to the yard

    Paths, stepping stones, plantings, and lighting tie the patio into the landscape so it feels like it was always meant to be there.
