Custom Stone & Paver Patios

A custom patio does more than just look good. It gives you extra space to relax, entertain, and enjoy your home. Instead of staring at grass or bare dirt, you get a functional outdoor room that works for you year-round.

Stone and pavers are built to last. They handle rain, sun, and foot traffic without wearing out. You won't deal with the splinters and rot that come with wood decks. Plus, these materials hold their color and shape for decades. Our Berkeley masonry team knows how to install patios that stay level and strong, even through California's shifting soil and seasonal changes.

When you add a well-designed patio, you also boost your home's value. Buyers love outdoor spaces that are ready to use. Real estate agents tell us that homes with quality patios sell faster and for more money. It's an investment that pays off now and later.

Choosing the right material for your patio matters. Each option has its own look and feel, and we'll help you pick what works best for your space and budget.

Natural Stone

Natural stone like flagstone, bluestone, and limestone brings timeless beauty. Every piece is unique, with natural color variations that give your patio character. These stones work well in both modern and traditional settings. They're also slip-resistant when wet, making them a safe choice for families.

Concrete Pavers

Pavers offer consistency and affordability. They come in hundreds of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can create patterns and borders that match your home's style. If one paver gets damaged, we can replace just that piece without redoing the whole patio. Pavers are also easier to repair than poured concrete.

Brick Pavers

Brick brings classic charm to any backyard. It's especially popular in Berkeley's older neighborhoods, where it complements historic architecture. Brick patios age gracefully and develop a warm patina over time. They're also one of the most eco-friendly options since many are made from natural clay.

Not sure which material is right for you? We bring samples to your property so you can see how they look in your actual space. We'll explain the pros and cons of each option in plain terms, and coordinate with retaining wall installations if your yard needs leveling work first.

Building a patio isn't just about laying stones on the ground. Proper installation requires careful planning and the right foundation work. Here's how we do it.

We pay special attention to slope and drainage. Your patio needs to direct water away from your house to prevent foundation problems. We calculate the right grade during installation so water flows naturally off the surface. If your yard has drainage challenges, we can install drainage systems that keep your patio dry and your basement protected.

From start to finish, most patio projects take 3 to 5 days depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently while maintaining high standards. You'll see progress every day, and we clean up thoroughly each evening so your yard stays usable.
