Custom Stone & Paver Patios
Transform your outdoor space with a beautiful patio designed just for you.
Why Choose a Custom Patio?
Your backyard should feel like an extension of your home, not just an empty space. A custom stone or paver patio gives you the perfect spot to relax, entertain guests, or enjoy family dinners under the stars. Here in Cape Coral, FL, where the weather lets you enjoy outdoor living most of the year, a well-designed patio becomes one of the most valuable parts of your property.
We design and build patios that match your style and fit your yard perfectly. Whether you want a cozy corner for morning coffee or a large entertainment area with seating for a dozen people, we make it happen. Our team works with natural stone, manufactured pavers, and everything in between to create outdoor spaces that look amazing and last for decades.
From Cape Coral's trusted masonry experts, you get a patio built right the first time. We handle every step, from design and material selection to proper base preparation and professional installation.
Choosing Your Patio Materials
The material you pick sets the tone for your entire outdoor space. Each option has its own look, feel, and benefits. Let's walk you through the most popular choices so you can find what works best for your home.
Natural Stone Options
Natural stone brings an organic, high-end look to your patio. These materials have been used for centuries because they're beautiful and incredibly durable. Here are some favorites:
- •Bluestone: Smooth texture with blue-gray tones. Stays cool underfoot even in hot Florida summers. Perfect for pool decks and barefoot areas.
- •Flagstone: Irregular shapes create a natural, rustic look. Available in earth tones from gold to rust. Great for cottage-style or Mediterranean homes.
- •Limestone: Elegant cream and tan colors. Soft appearance that complements traditional architecture. Excellent for formal entertaining spaces.
- •Travertine: Luxurious look with natural pitting. Comes in warm beiges and golds. Popular around pools because it doesn't get too hot.
Manufactured Pavers
Concrete pavers offer incredible variety and consistency. Modern manufacturing creates pavers that look like natural stone but with more color options and uniform shapes. They're cost-effective, durable, and come in hundreds of patterns. You can create intricate designs, mix colors, or keep it simple with classic brick patterns. We work with top brands to give you the best selection and quality.
How We Build Your Patio
A patio is only as good as what's underneath it. We don't cut corners on the foundation because that's what keeps your patio level, stable, and beautiful for years to come. Here's how we make sure your investment lasts.
Proper Base Preparation
First, we excavate to the right depth and grade the soil for proper drainage. Cape Coral gets plenty of rain, so water management is critical. We install a compacted gravel base, usually 4 to 6 inches deep, which provides stability and allows water to drain away from your home. Next comes a layer of sand that creates a smooth, level surface for the pavers or stone.
We use professional compacting equipment to make sure every layer is solid. This prevents settling, which causes those annoying dips and uneven spots you see in poorly built patios. When we're done, your patio stays level and looks great year after year.
Installation and Finishing
Once the base is ready, we carefully set each paver or stone according to your design. We pay attention to spacing, alignment, and pattern consistency. For paver walkways and driveways, we use edge restraints to keep everything in place and prevent shifting over time.
The final step is sweeping polymeric sand into the joints. This special sand hardens when wet, locking pavers together and preventing weed growth. It also keeps bugs and ants from making homes between your pavers. We clean everything up, leaving you with a finished patio ready for furniture and fun.
Common Questions About Custom Patios
How long does it take to build a custom patio?
+
Most patios take between 3 to 7 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. A simple 12x12 patio might be done in 3 days, while a large entertaining space with multiple levels and custom patterns could take a full week or more.
Weather plays a role too. We need dry conditions for proper installation, so heavy rain can delay progress. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project. We also coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Do I need to seal my patio, and how often?
+
Sealing is recommended but not always required. Natural stone benefits from sealing because it protects against stains and makes cleaning easier. Concrete pavers can be sealed to enhance color and add a slight sheen, but many homeowners skip this step and the pavers still look great.
If you choose to seal, plan on reapplying every 2 to 3 years in our Florida climate. The sun and rain gradually wear down the sealer. We can handle sealing for you, or you can do it yourself with products from your local home improvement store.
Can you match an existing patio if I want to expand it later?
+
Yes, we can usually match or blend with your existing patio. If you're using concrete pavers, we'll track down the same style and color from the manufacturer. Many popular paver lines stay in production for years, making matching relatively easy.
Natural stone is trickier because each piece is unique, but we source materials that blend well with what you already have. Sometimes we'll create a transition border that ties old and new sections together. If you're planning future expansion, let us know during the design phase so we can recommend materials that will be easy to match down the road.
