While poured concrete often cracks and heaves in Minnesota's extreme temperature swings, pavers are designed to flex. They offer superior durability and a high-end look that concrete simply cannot match.
The longevity of a patio is determined by what is hidden underneath. We focus on the "invisible" layers to ensure your patio never sags or shifts.
Installing custom hardscapes in:
Most residential patios (300-600 sq. ft.) take between 3 to 7 days to complete, depending on the complexity of the design, the amount of excavation needed, and the weather.
The upfront cost for a paver patio is higher than basic gray concrete due to the labor-intensive installation and material costs. However, pavers are a better long-term investment because they don't crack and add significant resale value to your home.
We use high-quality Polymeric Sand in the joints. This sand hardens like mortar when activated with water, creating a barrier that resists weed growth and prevents ants from nesting.
Absolutely. We can integrate gas or wood-burning fire pits, seating walls, outdoor kitchens, and pillars directly into your patio design for a seamless look.
Pavers are actually the ideal material for the Minnesota climate. Because they are an "interlocking" system with sand-filled joints, the patio can breathe and shift slightly as the frost enters and leaves the ground. This prevents the cracking that is so common with poured concrete. To maintain your patio, we simply recommend using plastic shovels instead of metal ones and avoiding harsh chemical de-icers (like rock salt), which can pit the surface of the stones over time.
