A patio is only as good as what is under it. On Mooresville's clay, a paver patio set on a thin or poorly compacted base will settle and hold water within a couple of seasons. We build the base to depth, set the slope so water leaves the surface, and lock the edges so the field does not spread. Two of our completed Mooresville projects are on this site so you can see the finished work rather than take our word for it.
If any of these sound like your property, it's worth a free on-site look.
Full excavation, compacted aggregate base, bedding sand, edge restraint and polymeric joint sand — built to drain, not just to look right on day one.
Grill runs, counters, pizza ovens and seating built into the hardscape rather than added on afterwards.
Paver and stone walkways sized for two people, with steps set to a consistent rise on sloped lots.
Built-in seating that defines the space and keeps furniture off the lawn.
Grade changes handled properly where the patio has to be cut into a slope.
Slope, joint drainage and, where needed, a drain line so the patio does not become the new low spot in the yard.
Tell us what's happening on the property. We'll set a time to come out.
We walk the property, check grade and soil, and identify the real cause — not just the symptom.
Clear scope and pricing in writing before anything starts. No trip fee, no pressure.
In-house crew, no subcontractors. We clean up and walk the finished job with you.
Size it to the furniture and the way you will actually use it, then add circulation space around it. Here is how we size patios.
Pavers flex with the clay and can be lifted and reset; concrete is a single slab that cracks along its own lines. Full comparison here.
It depends on the subgrade and the load, but on Mooresville clay a patio base is measured in inches of compacted aggregate, installed in lifts. More on base preparation.
Yes — slope is designed in from the start, away from the house and toward a point where the water can leave. More on patio drainage and slope.
Regularly. We demolish and remove the deck, deal with the footings and grade, and build the patio in its place — as we did on our Mooresville deck replacement project.
