What this project type usually means

Use this page when planning a patio for furniture, grilling, gathering, or connecting indoor living to the yard.

A paver patio is only as good as its base, drainage, layout, and edge details. Stonework's Landscaping builds patios that feel connected to the home and sized for real furniture, movement, and hosting.

Stonework's does not treat backyard paver patio as a one-size-fits-all package. The right scope depends on how the property drains, where people walk, how the outdoor space will be used, which materials fit the home, and how much upkeep the homeowner wants after the work is complete.

Buying Guidance

What to decide before you approve the work

Measure around furniture and movement, not only square footage.

Use paver pattern and color to support the home style.

Think about evening lighting and lawn transitions early.
