Best Patio Installation Company in Lake Grove

Site Evaluation and Design

Consultation We begin the process by scheduling a site evaluation and design consultation at your Centereach property. Our experienced team will visit your home to understand your vision, assess the site’s layout, and discuss patio design options that complement your outdoor space.

Assessing Grade and Height

Once we understand your design preferences, we evaluate the grade and height of your property. Proper assessment ensures the patio is built at the right level, allowing for proper water drainage and stability. We consider factors such as sloping and pitch to ensure your patio feels balanced and functional.

Excavation and Soil Removal

Next, we carefully excavate the area for your new patio, removing approximately 7-8 inches of soil or debris. The excavated soil is carted away to prepare the site for the installation process. This step helps prevent settling and ensures a solid foundation for your patio.

Subbase Installation

We lay the groundwork for a durable patio by installing a subbase of 4-6 inches of crushed concrete base. This material is compacted with a gas-powered plate compactor to provide stability and prevent shifting. A layer of ¼ inch fine mason sand is then added for the leveling process.

Setting Up to Install Pavers

With the subbase in place, we set up square lines to ensure the patio is laid out precisely and aligns perfectly with your home or designated structures. This meticulous setup ensures a visually appealing result and proper construction etiquette.

Paver Installation and Border Design

Now comes the exciting part – paver installation! We use top-quality Cambridge Pavingstones® with ArmorTec® and may include Ledgestone 3-piece, Roundtable 6×9, XL Pavers (with upcharge), and more, depending on your preferences. We also carefully design and install borders to add a pop of color and accentuate the patio’s beauty.

Concrete Edging and Polymeric Sand

To keep the pavers securely in place, we add a concrete edge around the patio’s perimeter. This restraint prevents shifting and enhances the patio’s longevity. We then use polymeric sand to fill the joints between pavers, locking them together and preventing weed growth.

Final Touches and Cleanup

After ensuring all pavers and borders are laid correctly, we conduct a thorough cleanup of the area, removing any debris and leaving your Centereach property pristine. Our attention to detail ensures the patio is ready for your enjoyment.

Optional Paver Sealing

While our patios are built to last, some clients may prefer a sealed finish. If desired, we offer patio sealing services. However, we advise waiting at least 1 year to allow efflorescence to naturally come out of the pavers.
