Understanding The Service
The groundwork that determines whether a patio lasts decades or cracks within a few seasons
A beautiful patio surface means very little if the foundation underneath it is not built correctly. Our process for every patio project in Akron, CO starts with excavation to the proper depth, followed by a compacted gravel base that provides stable support and allows water to drain away rather than pooling beneath the surface. This base layer is the single biggest factor in whether a patio stays level and crack-free for years to come.
Once the base is established, we add a layer of bedding sand that creates a smooth, even surface for setting pavers, flagstone, or pouring concrete. Every patio is built with a slight slope away from the home, typically a small grade over the length of the patio, so rainwater sheds naturally instead of collecting near your foundation or creating slippery standing water.
Material installation is where the design vision comes together. Paver patios offer flexibility in pattern and color, allowing for borders, accent bands, and custom layouts. Flagstone provides a natural, organic look with irregular shapes that fit together like a puzzle. Poured concrete offers a clean, modern surface that can be stamped or stained to mimic other materials at a lower cost.
The finishing details complete the project, including polymeric jointing sand that locks pavers in place while still allowing flexibility, edge restraints that keep the entire patio structure from shifting over time, and a final compaction pass that sets everything firmly together. We walk every completed patio with you to confirm the finished product matches the design we agreed on from the start.
