Expert Answers to Your Hardscaping & Patio FAQs

Pricing depends on materials, design, and site conditions. In areas like Alpharetta or Roswell, most paver patio installations range from $8,000 to $25,000.
For example, in Atlanta, GA, a 400–600 sq. ft. paver patio built with concrete paving stones usually costs $22–$30 per sq. ft., while luxury outdoor living spaces with fire pits, lighting, or seating walls can exceed $40 per sq. ft.

Given Georgia’s heat, humidity, and rain, concrete pavers and paving stones are the most durable choice. Concrete slabs can crack with soil shifts. Paver patios allow natural drainage and can be repaired easily. Natural stone patios add a high-end look for homes in Sandy Springs or East Cobb.
Most Georgia homeowners prefer pavers for their strength, design versatility, and timeless curb appeal.

For homeowners in Woodstock or Alpharetta, a standard 400–600 sq. ft. paver patio takes about 3–7 days to complete.
If your design includes retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, or fire features, expect 2–3 weeks. Weather and site grading can also affect timing.

In Roswell, Alpharetta, and Atlanta, ground-level paver patios usually don’t require a permit, but projects with walls, steps, pergolas, plumbing, or lighting may.
We handle all necessary permits and city inspections so your project stays compliant and stress-free.

Georgia’s red clay soil can trap water, so we design every paver patio with precise grading and a compacted crushed stone base to ensure proper drainage.
For instance, in Atlanta, we often install French drains or channel systems under paving stones to move rainwater away from your home and prevent puddling.

Paver patios are low-maintenance: Sweep or rinse regularly to remove debris. Re-sand joints every 1–2 years to keep paving stones stable. Seal every 3–5 years to protect against fading and staining.
We offer seasonal patio maintenance plans throughout North Atlanta, Woodstock, and Sandy Springs.

Absolutely. Many Alpharetta and Roswell homeowners start with a simple paver patio and add features later, like outdoor lighting, a seating wall, or an outdoor kitchen.
We can even pre-install conduits and gas lines so your future upgrades are plug-and-play ready.

Pavers are 3–4 times stronger than poured concrete, designed to flex with soil movement instead of cracking.
In Atlanta and Sandy Springs, where ground shifting is common, paver patios can easily last 30+ years, and if one stone cracks, it’s simple to replace. That makes paving stones the best long-term investment for your home.

We install patios year-round, but spring and fall are ideal for comfortable weather and faster scheduling.
For example, in Woodstock, many homeowners start paver patio projects in March to enjoy them all summer. Fall builds in Alpharetta or Roswell let you enjoy cozy fire pit evenings before the holidays.

Yes, winter is often the best time to save money.
Many Atlanta-area paver patio companies offer off-season discounts since demand slows down between December and February.
Scheduling your project in the winter can mean faster turnaround times, better pricing on materials, and a ready-to-enjoy patio by spring.
For instance, in Alpharetta and Roswell, homeowners who book in winter often save 10–15% compared to peak-season builds.

We start with a free design consultation, including measurements, layout options, and a 3D rendering of your new paver patio or outdoor living space.
Whether you’re in Atlanta, Alpharetta, or Sandy Springs, you’ll see your patio design before construction begins, ensuring your backyard looks exactly how you imagined.
