Concrete, pavers, stone patios
A well-built patio anchors your outdoor living space—providing a level, durable surface for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying your Chicago backyard. But choosing between stamped concrete, interlocking pavers, or natural flagstone involves real tradeoffs: concrete costs less upfront but will crack; pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better and allow individual repair; flagstone offers timeless beauty at premium cost. The right choice depends on your budget, aesthetic, and how long you plan to stay.
We install patios with proper excavation and compacted aggregate bases that prevent settling and heaving through Chicago winters. For pavers and flagstone, this means polymeric sand joints and edge restraints that keep everything locked in place. For concrete, it means control joints placed strategically to direct inevitable cracking where it won't be visible, plus proper curing and sealing to maximize lifespan.
Your finished patio integrates with existing grade, connects to walkways and drainage systems, and provides the foundation for furniture, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens. We handle the heavy site work and precision finishing that separates a professional patio from a DIY disappointment—giving you outdoor space that performs for decades, not just seasons.
