Paver Patios
Paver Patios Built for Baldwin County Backyards
A patio is only as good as what is under it. We dig it, compact it, and set the pavers so the surface still sits flat years from now.
What We Build
Patios, walkways and the pieces around them
Most patios we build are not just a rectangle of pavers. They come with the walkway that gets you there, a border that holds the edge, a seat wall or a fire pit area, and steps where the grade changes.
- Backyard patios, courtyards and grill areas
- Walkways, entries and connecting paths
- Seat walls, borders and paver steps
- Fire pit areas and seating circles
- Old concrete removed and replaced with pavers
Pavers are the material we push for down here for one reason: when something does move, you pull up the pavers, fix what is underneath, and lay the same pavers back. You cannot do that with a poured slab.
How It Gets Built
The part you never see is the part that lasts
-
Dig and compact
We strip the soft ground out to depth — deeper than most people expect — and compact what is left before anything goes back in.
-
Base and bedding
Crushed base goes in and gets compacted in lifts, sloped to shed water away from the house, then screeded with bedding sand.
-
Set, cut and lock
Pavers are laid to the pattern, cut clean at the edges, held with a proper edge restraint, then compacted and swept with joint sand.
Point Clear Project
Old slab out, new patio in
A full backyard rebuild near the Grand Hotel stretch. Both photos are the same spot: the old surface and the tired yard came out, and the new paver walkway, patio, sod, lighting and rock beds went in around the existing trees.
“Andrews Lawn and Garden landscaped in front of my house and also created a sidewalk and patio using pavers. It all looks amazing! I couldn’t be happier.”Kim Givens · Google review

What a Gulf Coast summer does to a patio
Two things wreck patios in Baldwin County. The first is water: an afternoon storm can drop several inches in an hour, and if the yard sends that water across the patio instead of around it, it will pull the base out from under the edges. So we set the slope and figure out where the water goes before we set a paver.
The second is the ground itself. Down toward the beach the soil is sandy and drains fast but moves easily. Inland it turns heavier and holds water. Neither one supports a patio on its own — which is why the base depth is not a number we copy off the last job, it is something we decide after we see your dirt.
The live oaks are the third thing nobody plans for. Roots move pavers over time, so we cut the patio around them with room to grow instead of pretending they are not there.
Questions
Straight answers about patios
How long does a paver patio take?
Most residential patios run a few days on site once we start — longer if there is demolition first, a wall tied in, or a truck cannot get close and material has to be moved by hand. We give you the schedule with the estimate, and weather moves it more than anything else does.
What does a paver patio cost?
Every yard is different, so we do not quote patios over the phone. Size, access for equipment, how much base depth the ground needs, the paver you pick and whether anything has to come out first all move the number. We walk it, measure it and hand you a written price — the visit and the estimate are free.
Can you tie a new patio into an existing slab or porch?
Yes. That is exactly what we did on a Point Clear job — old concrete came out, new pavers went in and met the screened porch cleanly. Matching heights and keeping water running away from the house is the part that takes the care.
Do pavers sink down here?
They sink when the base was too thin, was never compacted, or when water runs underneath and washes it out. That is a base-and-drainage problem, not a paver problem, which is why most of our time on a patio is spent before a single paver comes off the pallet.
