What aspects should I be looking out for when it comes to my patio project?

A patio is the perfect outdoor space if you’re looking for versatility. You can use it to connect with nature, dine with family and friends, lounge in the sun, and even grill your favorite meats and vegetables. And if you decide to opt for a fire feature, you get up to 2 months of additional time to enjoy your outdoor living space. Not to mention the increase in property value that typically comes with having a patio.

How much should I spend on my paver and patio project?

If you decide to start small, a simple paver patio with a border, retaining wall, and a cozy fire pit will take you somewhere around $20k. For some extra additions and details such as step units, vertical elements, borders, paver patterns, and sitting areas the price will increase to $50k. However, if you want to give your whole space a makeover and opt for intricate patios with an outdoor kitchen, lounge, and dining areas, large-size pavers done with better materials, and the highest level of detail, you’re looking to spend over $80k.

Take The Fun Outside With A Paver Patio

A patio is the part of a backyard everything else is organized around, so the design has to come first and account for how you move through the space.

With every design, we consider where the afternoon sun lands and where a grill, fire feature, or set of steps should go.

We start with your design in 2D and 3D so you can see everything in detail before you commit. Then, we build from the same design plans you approved, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

We design the patio around the features you want:

This Is How Your Patio Can Look

Paver Patio FAQs, Answered

What should I look out for in my patio project?

The design and the base matter more than anything you’ll see on the surface. A patio designed around how you’ll actually use the space, and built on a properly compacted and drained foundation, is what gives you a surface that stays level and works from early spring to late autumn. A fire feature is worth considering too, since it adds usable weeks to the season.

Who will be working on my patio?

Jonathan designs and oversees every detail of your project, and our in-house design-and-build crew builds it, with specialist subcontractors brought in only for the trades that call for them. You work with one accountable team from the design conversation through the final walk, so nothing falls through the cracks.

What type of patio looks the best?

Flagstone, brick, and paver patios all have the biggest visual impact, and the right choice comes down to the look you want and how the material fits with the rest of your yard. What matters most is the design and the quality of the install, because that’s what prevents sunken pavers, cracked brick, and wide gaps between flagstones down the line.

How much do I spend on my paver and patio project?

A simple paver patio starts around $20k, a patio with added detail and sitting areas runs toward $50k, and a full outdoor living space runs $80k and up.

How fast can you complete my paver and patio project?

Most patios take around two weeks, and sometimes up to three depending on material lead times and whether demolition is involved. You’ll have a clear schedule from the start and daily updates throughout. See our design-and-build timeline guide for the full process.

What's it like working with you?

Our whole process is built to keep the project simple and low-stress for you. You approve a detailed 3D design and a fixed price before we order anything, you get daily updates once we’re on site, and you deal with one team the entire time.

A Pricing Guideline For Your Patio Project

A simple paver patio costs around $20k. Add step units, vertical elements, and defined sitting areas, and it moves toward $50k. A full outdoor living space with an outdoor kitchen and larger-format pavers may cost around $80k and up.

How Your Paver Patio Survives Colorado's Freeze and Thaw

A Denver patio goes through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles a year. Whether it still sits flat in ten years is decided almost entirely below the surface and by the paver you choose.

The base	You get a patio base that stays flat and level for years, even through Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles.
The paver	You get pavers built for Colorado weather that keep their color and resist stains through sun and snow.
The install	You get manufacturer-standard installation that protects your material warranty. We are an ICPI-certified (CMHA) installer and authorized for Techo-Pro, Unilock, Keystone, Belgard, and Basalite.

You get the full standard with every project: a drained base, a rated paver, and an ICPI-certified install, so your patio holds up season after season.
