Paver Patios, Walkways & Driveways
Patios built on a base that still looks right in ten years
Paver patios, walkways and driveways installed the way they should be: excavated properly, compacted in lifts, edge-restrained and swept with polymeric sand. The pavers are what you see — the base is what makes it last through Illinois freeze-thaw.
What's included
- Paver and natural stone patios in any shape
- Front walkways, side paths and stoops
- Paver driveways and aprons
- Steps, landings and pillar work
- Permeable options where drainage demands it
How the project runs
- 1
Layout & material selection
We mark the footprint on the ground so you see the real size before anything is ordered.
- 2
Excavation & base
Dig to depth, install and compact aggregate base in lifts — the step most crews shortcut.
- 3
Paver install
Cutting, edge restraint, polymeric sand and plate compaction.
- 4
Clean & final walk
Site restored, grass repaired, everything swept.
Material options
Charcoal modern
Sleek dark greys — best with contemporary homes and black window trim.
Classic red clay
Warm timeless brick look that suits traditional brick and cedar exteriors.
Colonial buff
Blended tans that hide dirt and stay cool underfoot in full sun.
Sandy limestone
Bright resort feel, excellent around pools and light-colored siding.

Common questions
What does a paver patio cost?
Most LHC patios land between $12,000 and $30,000 installed depending on square footage, paver choice and how much grading the yard needs.
How long does it take?
A straightforward patio or walkway is typically 3 to 5 working days on site. Larger builds with walls and features run one to three weeks.
Will it settle or shift?
Not when the base is right. We excavate to depth and compact in lifts, which is why our patios hold their lines years later.
