The base is everything

Pavers come in a huge range of shapes, colors and textures, and because each one is a separate piece, a section can be lifted and reset if it ever needs to be. What keeps a paver patio flat for years is underneath: a dug-out, compacted gravel base, a level bedding layer, solid edge restraints and joints filled and locked in.

Pavers are also a great way to replace an old, worn-out patio. Bring us what you have in mind and we will help you shape it into a full backyard plan.

Local know-how

Pavers and wet ground

With the rain we get, how water leaves a paver patio matters. Slope handles most of it. Permeable pavers, which let water soak down through wider joints into a stone base, are worth a look on lots that stay soggy. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether permeable pavers are offered] Polymeric joint sand helps keep moss and weeds out of the joints.

"We hired Fontaine Construction to replace our old worn patio and yard area with stone pavers. Dino worked with us and made suggestions that transformed our initial design into a full backyard patio that we couldn't be more pleased with. We highly recommend his company."

Questions

Pavers FAQ

Have a question that isn't here? Call 360-463-1098.

Are pavers better than concrete?

Neither is better for every yard. Pavers can be lifted and reset, come in more patterns and handle small ground movement well. A concrete patio is one solid surface and usually costs less. We do both and can price them side by side.

Can you replace my old patio with pavers?

Yes. That is one of the most common paver projects we do. The old patio comes out, the base gets rebuilt and the new pavers go down.

Do you install paver driveways?

[PLACEHOLDER: confirm paver driveways are offered] Driveways need a deeper base than patios because of vehicle weight.

How do I take care of a paver patio?

Sweep it, rinse it, and top up joint sand if it washes low. Moss can be scrubbed off. Sealing is optional and can deepen the color.
