Custom Stone & Paver Patios

Why Choose Stone or Paver Patios for Your Home

Your backyard should be more than just grass and plants. A well-designed patio gives you a place to relax, entertain guests, and enjoy Louisiana's beautiful weather year-round. Stone and paver patios add real value to your home while creating an outdoor living space you'll actually use.

Unlike wood decks that need constant maintenance or plain concrete that cracks and looks dull, stone and paver patios last for decades with minimal upkeep. They handle our humid climate and occasional heavy rain without warping, rotting, or becoming slippery. Plus, they look beautiful from day one and only get better with age.

We work with homeowners throughout Metairie and the surrounding areas to design and build patios that match your home's style and your family's needs. Whether you want a small intimate space for morning coffee or a large entertaining area with room for outdoor furniture and a grill, we'll create something perfect for you.

Materials and Design Options We Offer

Choosing the right material for your patio is important. Each option has its own look and benefits. Here's what we work with:

• Natural Stone: Bluestone, flagstone, and limestone create elegant, timeless patios with unique color variations and textures.
• Brick Pavers: Classic red clay bricks offer a traditional look that fits well with historic homes and gardens.
• Concrete Pavers: Available in countless colors, shapes, and patterns to match any style from modern to rustic.
• Travertine: A premium natural stone with a smooth finish that stays cool underfoot, even in direct sun.

During your free consultation, we'll show you samples and photos of completed projects. We'll help you understand which materials work best for your budget, your home's architecture, and how you plan to use the space. Popular paver walkways and driveways can also complement your new patio design.

Pattern options range from simple running bond layouts to complex herringbone or circular designs. We can add borders, inlays, or mix materials to create something truly custom. Your patio should reflect your personal style, and we make sure it does.

Our Professional Installation Process

Proper Foundation is Everything

A beautiful patio starts below the surface. We don't cut corners on the foundation work because that's what keeps your patio level and stable for years to come. Our process starts with excavating the area and preparing a solid base.

We install proper drainage to prevent water pooling and settling. Then we create a compacted gravel base with the right slope to move water away from your home. This attention to detail prevents the settling and shifting that causes uneven surfaces and tripping hazards.

Setting and Finishing

Once the base is perfect, we carefully set each stone or paver by hand. We pay close attention to spacing, alignment, and levelness. For paver installations, we use polymeric sand in the joints that hardens to lock everything in place and prevent weed growth.

Natural stone installations get pointed with mortar for a clean, finished look. We seal the surface when appropriate to protect against stains and enhance the colors. Before we leave, we clean up completely and show you how to care for your new patio. Many clients also choose to add masonry features like built-in seating or planters to complete their outdoor space.
