What neighbors say

The crew was fantastic. We had a fairly complicated grade to deal with and everything turned out great. On time, polite, and they cleaned up every night.

Dan G.

Beautiful patio and retaining wall. Professional, thorough, extremely kind, and the planting beds they added completely changed the yard.

Sheila B.

Great communication from the first design meeting to the final walkthrough. Everyone we dealt with was helpful and very responsive.

Elena S.

Found them because two neighbors used them. So glad we called — the new patio and sod look better than we pictured.

Straight answers

What homeowners ask us first.

What does a paver patio actually cost in Lake County?

Most LHC paver patios land between $12,000 and $30,000 installed, depending on square footage, the paver you choose, and how much grading or drainage work the yard needs. Full outdoor transformations with walls, lighting and plantings typically run higher. The configurator shows you a real installed range as you build, so there are no surprises before anyone comes out.

How long does installation take?

A straightforward patio or walkway is usually 3 to 5 working days on site. Retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and full backyard builds generally run 1 to 3 weeks. We give you a firm window in writing with your estimate, and the crew cleans the site at the end of every day.

Do you handle permits, grading and drainage?

Yes. We pull the village permits where they're required, and grade and drainage are part of the design — not an add-on. A designer walks the yard, checks how water moves through it, and builds the base accordingly. That base is the difference between a patio that still looks right in ten years and one that settles.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes, and there's no obligation. You design your space here, we come out, measure, confirm the layout and give you a written estimate built around that design. No deposit and no pressure to decide on the spot.

How accurate is the budget range in the configurator?

It's a real installed range based on what LHC builds in Lake County — not a teaser number. The written estimate after the on-site visit is exact, because that's when we've measured the space and confirmed access, grade and materials.
