How much does a patio cost?
It depends on size, materials and site prep, but as a rule of thumb most paver patios in our area run roughly $25–$45 per square foot installed. Simple square layouts sit at the lower end; multi-level designs with seating walls, fire features or premium pavers run higher. We'll give you an exact, itemized number after a free on-site visit.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. When a project requires a permit — larger retaining walls, certain drainage work, structures near property lines — we handle the paperwork with your town's building department so everything's done to code.
How long does installation take?
Most residential patios and walkways take about 1–2 weeks from break-ground to cleanup, weather permitting. Larger outdoor-living builds with kitchens, walls and lighting run longer. You'll get a realistic timeline in your written estimate — and updates as we go.
What pavers do you recommend?
We install manufacturer-engineered product from names like Nicolock and Techo-Bloc, chosen on merit for Connecticut's freeze-thaw climate — not on markup. In your design consult we'll match colors and textures to your home and walk you through the options in person.
Do you install drainage?
Absolutely. Proper grading and drainage is what keeps a patio, wall or lawn from failing in a few seasons. We correct water problems — surface drains, downspout tie-ins, regrading — as part of the build, not as an afterthought.
How long do retaining walls last?
A properly engineered segmental retaining wall — correct base, backfill and drainage — can last 25 to 50+ years. The lifespan is decided underground, in the prep you never see, which is exactly where we don't cut corners.
What warranty do you offer?
Your project is covered by both the manufacturer's product warranty and our own workmanship warranty on the installation. We'll spell out the specifics in writing with your quote so you know exactly what's protected.
