Patios & Pavers

Paver Patio Installation

Your backyard is a haven of tranquility, and you have the freedom to design it so it perfectly fulfills your needs. Creating distinct sections is a surefire way of optimizing the aesthetics, as well as the practicality of your outdoor space. Dividing it into flower beds, grass, paver patios and decking looks beautiful and maximizes the use you can get from your yard.

Flower beds are your pride and joy, and keeping these looking neat means keeping stamping feet and flailing hands out of the way. Ensuring kids and pets have space to run wild is imperative, but so is having an entire area to relax and unwind — not to mention barbecues, social gatherings, soaking up the sun and simply having a place to sit back and enjoy your yard. Prince William Home Improvement works with you to create the new patio that suits your home and needs.

Why Choose PWHI for Your Paver Patio Project?

While it might seem like a feasible project, undertaking a DIY paver patio installation comes with many challenges that often outweigh any initial considerations of cost-saving. The process requires not only a significant investment in materials and tools, such as a plate compactor, rubber mallet, and landscape fabric, but also a considerable amount of time dedicated to researching, planning, and executing the installation.

Popular Paver Patio Design Ideas

If you thought a patio was just a paver base of your yard, think again. There are so many different things you can do with a paver patio and a broad range of functions it can serve. Stone pavers come in all shapes and sizes and can be arranged in a manner of patterns, depending on your preference. You can get furniture and equipment built into your paver patio to use it for the purposes that best fit your family’s lifestyle.

Sitting Retaining Walls

When you add a sitting retaining wall to your concrete patio pavers, you break up space and provide a built-in place for relaxation. Having different areas within your patio can provide teenagers with a space to call their own, allow you to add in a play area for younger children or provide a spot to install a hot tub. Raised concrete pavers are another great way to give the illusion of a more substantial yard by edging your patio into distinct regions.

Patio Gardens for Small Yards

If you’ve got a ground-floor apartment or condo with a compact yard, you can start a DIY patio project, lay pavers, and turn your yard into a modern paver patio that makes the most of your space. You can add pretty outdoor furniture and embellish the patio garden area with potted plants and lush greenery. Lining the natural stone or brick walls with wood paneling can give a smaller yard a warmer, more natural feel, and a feature such as a wall-mounted mirror can make it appear larger.

Bring Light and Warmth With a Firepit

No matter what square foot your existing patio has, adding a focal point looks great and provides a sense of purpose. Firepits make this area usable year-round, giving you and your loved ones a warm space to huddle around when you’re enjoying evenings outdoors. If you’re someone who likes to hold parties, a fire pit looks impressive in your patio area and means you can entertain outdoors — even late into the night.

Outdoor Kitchen

Whether you are a purveyor of the barbecue or want to go further and install an outdoor kitchen, we can make your wish for fully al-fresco dining come true. Cooking in the great outdoors feels tremendous, and a ground level patio or raised patio is a perfect place to do it.

Combine Your Patio With an Outdoor Deck

Patios and outdoor decks are features that never go out of fashion, and combining the two looks stunning. Many homes are raised from ground level, making the deck the perfect bridge between indoors and outdoors. Having a portion of modern decking that steps down into traditional ground patios is practical and gives you endless opportunities for adding the features mentioned above.

Create a Picturesque Pathway

You can choose to install a paver patio directly outside your house or in another corner of your yard. Having a pathway extending from your door to the patio or from the patio to another area gives your garden a stately look and feel. You can lay paver sand, concrete slabs or brick pavers for the pathway for a more modern design.

How to Select the Right Color

Patio pavers look elegant and refined when they match the color of the rest of your home, but they can also reflect your style and personality. Beach bums may love a nautical theme and would include a gravel patio or polymeric sand with some touches of blue on their paver patio. Cooking enthusiasts can choose a bistro palette laying pavers with colors that complement foods such as red and orange. You can also go for a wacky multicolored aesthetic or a designer palette with polished concrete pavers.

Patios & Pavers FAQs

Concrete, brick, stone, and porcelain are commonly used for pavers. Each material offers unique aesthetic and functional qualities, such as durability and maintenance requirements.
Yes, pavers can typically be installed over an existing concrete patio if the concrete is in good condition and properly leveled. This can be a cost-effective way to upgrade your outdoor space. However, we recommend having a professional assess the condition of the concrete.
When choosing the right location for a patio, consider factors such as sun exposure, privacy, proximity to your house, and the natural landscape of your yard. Ideally, the patio should be easily accessible from the house and situated in a spot that aligns with your intended usage, whether sunbathing, shaded relaxation, entertaining, or outdoor dining.
Maintenance requirements differ depending on the patio material. Paver and stone patios may need occasional weed control and re-sanding of joints, while concrete patios might require sealing and regular cleaning to prevent stains.
