Patio Installation Process Salado

Here's How Your Project Happens

First, we come look at your space and talk through what you want. No high-pressure sales pitch – just an honest conversation about what’s realistic for your budget and timeline.

We design your hardscape to work with Salado’s soil conditions and drainage patterns. Texas clay soil requires specific preparation techniques that prevent settling and cracking down the road.

Installation starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We install your patio pavers or walkway pavers with the right materials underneath so everything stays level. The final step is cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure you’re happy with the work.

Patio Pavers Salado TX

What's Included in Your Project

Every hardscaping project includes site preparation, proper drainage planning, and professional installation using quality materials designed for Central Texas conditions.

Your patio installation comes with base preparation that prevents settling, joint sand that stays in place, and edge restraints that keep everything aligned. We handle permits when needed and clean up completely when finished.

For walkway pavers and larger hardscape designs, we coordinate with any existing irrigation or drainage systems. Since we also handle irrigation work, we can modify sprinkler systems if your new hardscaping requires it.

How long does a typical patio paver installation take in Salado?

Most residential patio projects take 2-4 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during Texas summers when we start early to avoid afternoon heat. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the initial consultation and keep you updated if anything changes. Unlike some contractors who stretch projects over weeks, we focus on completing your hardscaping efficiently so you can start enjoying your outdoor space.

What's the difference between concrete and paver patios for Texas weather?

Paver patios handle Texas freeze-thaw cycles much better than concrete. When concrete cracks – and it will in our climate – you’re looking at expensive repairs or complete replacement. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, and they allow water to drain through the joints instead of pooling on the surface. Pavers also don’t show dirt and stains as easily as concrete, which matters when you’re dealing with Texas dust and occasional flooding.

Do you handle drainage issues during hardscape installation?

Yes, proper drainage is built into every hardscaping project we do. Salado’s clay soil doesn’t drain well naturally, so we grade everything to direct water away from your home and create drainage solutions that prevent standing water. This includes installing proper base materials that allow water to move through your paver system instead of creating problems underneath. Poor drainage is the main reason hardscaping fails in Central Texas.

How much does custom hardscape design cost in Salado?

Hardscaping costs depend on materials, size, and site conditions, but most residential patio projects range from $12-25 per square foot installed. Custom designs with premium pavers or complex layouts cost more, while simple walkway pavers are on the lower end. We provide written estimates after seeing your space because every property is different. The investment usually pays for itself in increased property value and reduced maintenance compared to other outdoor surface options.

Can you work around existing landscaping and sprinkler systems?

Absolutely. Since we also handle irrigation work, we can modify or relocate sprinkler lines if your hardscaping design requires it. We’re careful about protecting existing plants and trees during installation, and we can incorporate your hardscape design around mature landscaping you want to keep. This coordination between hardscaping and irrigation is one advantage of working with a company that handles both services instead of hiring separate contractors.

What maintenance do paver patios and walkways require?

Properly installed paver systems need minimal maintenance. You’ll want to sweep them occasionally and rinse with a hose when they get dusty. Every few years, you might need to add joint sand between pavers and apply sealer if you want to maintain the color. That’s it. Compare that to concrete that needs regular sealing and crack repairs, or wood decking that requires annual staining. The low maintenance is one reason many Salado homeowners choose pavers over other patio materials.
