Paver patios · Los Angeles
A paver patio is the foundation of a great backyard, literally. Pavers create durable, attractive surfaces for dining, lounging and cooking, and they can be repaired more easily than a cracked slab.
Overview
Pavers are set on a compacted base with joints that allow slight movement, which helps them handle ground movement better than many poured slabs. Individual pavers can be lifted and reset if needed, which is useful for future repairs or for running conduit.
Paver patios work beautifully under pergolas and around fire pits and outdoor kitchens. Planning them alongside structures ensures footings, drainage and finish heights all work together.
Materials & design options
Wide range of colors, sizes and textures at accessible price points.
Large-format, stain-resistant and very modern.
Travertine, flagstone and other stones for timeless character.
Joints that allow water to soak through, helping with drainage.
Running bond, herringbone, basket weave or large-format modern layouts.
Soldier courses, seat walls and steps that define the space.

Planning & installation
Base preparation. The base is everything: proper excavation, compaction and bedding prevent settling.
Drainage. Patios need slope away from the house and a plan for where water goes.
Edge restraint. Edges must be restrained so pavers don’t spread.
Planning for structures. If a pergola or kitchen is planned, footings and utility sleeves should be placed before paving.
Cost factors. Area, paver material, pattern complexity, excavation and haul-away, base depth, drainage and access.

Both can work. Pavers offer more design variety and easier repairs; poured concrete can be more economical for simple, large areas.
Settling is usually the result of inadequate base preparation. Proper excavation and compaction are key.
Sometimes, depending on the slab’s condition, height and drainage. Often removal and a proper base is the better long-term solution.
