Patio and fire pit questions

Updated September 2026

How long does a paver patio take to install?

It depends on the size, the shape and how easy the yard is to get into. You get a timeline with your quote, before anything is dug. [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: typical range]

Why choose pavers over a poured concrete patio?

Pavers come in more colors, shapes and patterns, and single pavers can be lifted and reset if the ground ever settles or you need to get underneath. We will walk you through both so you can decide what fits the yard.

Can you build a fire pit, seat wall or steps with the patio?

Yes. Round fire pits, curved seat walls, walkways and stone steps are some of our favorite add-ons, and they are designed together with the patio so everything lines up.

Do I need a design before you build a patio?

No. Austin studied landscape design at Iowa State and lays out the patio with you on site, so the size and shape fit how you will actually use it.
