We Understand Your Space, Goals, and Drainage Needs
Some of our customers want a simple seating area near the back door, but others need a larger space, and perhaps even an outdoor kitchen area, for entertaining. We will talk through furniture layout, grill placement, how much usable square footage you need, water features, and everything in between.
We also take care of your grading and drainage. Many properties have subtle grading issues that push water toward the home or allow it to collect under the patio. We account for slope, runoff patterns, and surrounding surfaces long before any installation begins, even if you have a previous patio in place.
Patio Preparation Needs Expert Attention, Too
Removing Old Concrete, Pavers, or Failing Surfaces
If you already have a patio, we start by removing the existing material. That may include cracked concrete, loose pavers, or worn-out stone. We clear the site down to a workable base so the new installation has a clean foundation.
Regrading and Fixing Drainage Issues
Once the area is open, we reshape the grade as needed. This step helps direct water away from your home and prevents future settling. If there are soft spots or uneven areas, we correct them before moving forward. Proper grading is one of the biggest factors in how long your patio will last.
Gutter and Downspout Adjustments
In many cases, patio problems trace back to water coming off the roof. Downspouts that empty near the patio can lead to washout and shifting over time. We can reroute or extend those lines so water moves away from the installation area. This small adjustment often prevents larger problems later.
The Paver Installation Process
We Build a Stable Base Layer
We install a compacted gravel base that supports the pavers and helps with drainage. Each layer is spread and compacted in stages to create a firm, even surface. This base work takes time, but it keeps your patio level and strong for many years to come.
Paver Installation and Pattern Layout
Once the base is ready, we begin setting the pavers. We follow a consistent pattern and check alignment as we go. Also, we can accommodate a variety of patterns, and we are happy to show you examples. Our edges are tight, and transitions around curves or corners will look world class.
Border Options and Finishing Details
Borders help define the patio and keep everything locked in place. Many homeowners choose a contrasting paver or a natural stone edge like bluestone for a sharper look. We'll walk you through options that match your home and surrounding landscape. Whether you want brick accents or something else, we can make it happen.
Joint Sand and Sealing
After the pavers are set, we install joint sand to lock them together. Sealing is available for clients who want added protection and a deeper color finish. A sealed surface also makes routine cleaning easier over time.
Landscaping Around Your Patio
Plantings, Beds, and Natural Transitions
We often build out surrounding beds with shrubs, ornamental grasses, or trees to soften the edges of your patio and even provide more privacy. Mulch or decorative stone helps define these areas and keeps the space looking gorgeous
Create Privacy With Hedges and Screening
If your patio sits close to neighbors or a road, plantings can create a more private setting. Hedges, layered plant beds, or small trees can block sightlines without closing off the space completely. We design these features so they grow into the layout over time. If desired, we can also install privacy fencing or vinyl and aluminum barriers - just let us know.
Additional Hardscaping Features
Walkways, Steps, and Retaining Edges
We can add walkways that connect to driveways or side yards, steps for elevation changes, and retaining edges where needed. These elements help the patio feel like part of the overall property, which will dramatically improve your outdoor soirees, lifestyle, and even home resale value.
Fire Pits, Seating Walls, and Built-In Features
Add another lifestyle element with a firepit, fish pond, sitting area, and more! A fire pit can anchor the space, while a seating wall provides extra room without bringing in more furniture. These additions work best when they are planned alongside the patio, not added later.
Outdoor Low Voltage Lighting for Beautiful Evenings
Path Lights, Accent Lighting, and Patio Ambience
Low voltage lighting extends the use of your patio into the evening. We install path lights for visibility and accent lighting that highlights edges, plantings, or stonework. The goal is a balanced setup that improves safety and creates a comfortable atmosphere without harsh brightness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Paver Patio Installation Take?
Most patio projects take between a few days and a week, depending on size, prep work, and weather. Smaller patios with minimal grading move quickly, while larger or more complex layouts take more time.
Do Pavers Shift or Settle Over Time in Myrtle Beach Soil?
They can if the base is not installed correctly. With proper excavation, compaction, and drainage planning, pavers stay stable for years. Most shifting issues come from poor prep, not the pavers themselves.
What Is the Difference Between Concrete and Pavers?
Concrete is poured as one solid surface, while pavers are individual units placed over a base. Pavers are easier to repair and tend to handle movement better. Concrete can crack and is harder to fix once that happens.
Do You Offer Bluestone or Other Natural Stone Options?
Yes, we can incorporate bluestone and other natural materials into patio designs, especially for borders, accents, or full-surface installations depending on your preference and budget.
How Do You Handle Drainage Around the Patio?
We adjust the grade, build a proper base, and redirect water away from the home. If needed, we also address downspouts and runoff to prevent water from collecting near the patio.
Should I Seal My Pavers After Installation?
Sealing is optional but recommended for many homeowners. It helps protect the surface, enhances color, and can make cleaning easier. We can go over the pros and timing during your project.
Can You Add Lighting or Landscaping at the Same Time?
Yes, we often handle lighting, plantings, and other features as part of the same project. Planning everything together leads to a more cohesive result.
What Areas Do You Serve in and Around Myrtle Beach?
We serve Myrtle Beach and surrounding communities including Carolina Forest, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Socastee, North Myrtle Beach, and nearby parts of Horry County. If you're close to the Grand Strand, we can schedule a visit.
