Outdoor Spaces That Actually Work

You want a patio that doesn’t crack after the first winter. Walkways that don’t shift or settle. Outdoor spaces where you actually want to spend time.

That’s what proper hardscaping delivers. When pavers are installed correctly with the right base preparation, you get decades of use without the headaches. No more dealing with uneven surfaces, water pooling, or stones that come loose every season.

Your outdoor investment should add value to your property and your daily life. Professional hardscape installation means you’re grilling on a level patio, walking on stable pathways, and enjoying outdoor spaces that look as good in year ten as they did on day one.

How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to assess your space and understand what you want to accomplish. We’ll discuss materials, design options, and give you a clear timeline and cost breakdown.

Next comes the preparation work. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most important part. We excavate to proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper drainage. Your hardscape is only as good as what’s underneath it.

Then we install your pavers or stone work according to manufacturer specifications. We take time to get the spacing right, check levels throughout the process, and finish with proper edge restraints and joint sand. You get a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations before we consider the job complete.

What's Included in Your Project

Every hardscaping project includes proper site preparation, which means excavation, base material installation, and drainage considerations specific to Central Texas soil conditions. We don’t skip steps to save time.

You get custom design options that work with your existing landscape and home architecture. Whether you want natural stone, concrete pavers, or brick, we’ll help you choose materials that fit your budget and maintenance preferences.

All installations include proper edge restraints, joint sand application, and a final cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it. We also handle any necessary permits and coordinate with other trades if your project requires electrical or plumbing work for outdoor lighting or water features.

How long does a typical patio installation take in Temple?

Most residential patio projects take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during Central Texas rainy seasons. We excavate and prepare the base on day one, install pavers on days two and three, and handle finishing work like edge restraints and joint sand on the final day. Larger projects or those requiring extensive drainage work may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.

What type of pavers work best in Temple's climate?

Concrete pavers and natural stone both perform well in Central Texas heat and occasional freeze cycles. Concrete pavers offer more color and pattern options and are generally more budget-friendly. Natural stone like flagstone or limestone provides a classic look and stays cooler underfoot during summer months. We avoid materials that crack easily in temperature changes and always recommend proper sealing for longevity. The key is proper installation with adequate base preparation, which matters more than the specific material you choose.

How much does hardscaping typically cost in Temple?

Patio costs typically range from $12-25 per square foot installed, depending on materials and site conditions. A standard 300 square foot patio runs $3,600-7,500 including excavation, base prep, and installation. Walkways cost $8-18 per square foot. Factors that affect pricing include accessibility, drainage requirements, material choice, and design complexity. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor and materials so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or change orders unless you request additional work.

Do you handle drainage issues during hardscape installation?

Absolutely. Proper drainage is critical in Central Texas clay soil conditions. We grade the base to direct water away from your home’s foundation and install drainage solutions when needed. This might include French drains, channel drains, or simply adjusting the slope of your patio surface. Poor drainage is the number one cause of hardscape failure, so we address it during the planning phase rather than hoping it won’t be a problem. All our installations include proper slope calculations to prevent water pooling or foundation issues.

Can you match existing hardscape or architectural features?

Yes, we regularly work with existing patios, walkways, or home architecture to create cohesive outdoor spaces. We can match brick colors, stone textures, or paver patterns from previous installations. Sometimes this requires sourcing specific materials or custom cutting, which we factor into the project timeline and cost. We’ll also coordinate new hardscaping with existing landscape features, outdoor kitchens, or pool areas. The goal is making your new installation look like it was always part of your property’s design.

What maintenance do hardscape installations require?

Properly installed hardscaping requires minimal maintenance. You’ll need to occasionally sweep joint sand back into gaps and rinse off dirt or debris. Sealing every 2-3 years helps prevent staining and keeps colors vibrant, especially for concrete pavers. Weeds can grow in joints if sand washes out, but this is easily prevented with proper sealing and occasional sand replacement. We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and can handle ongoing maintenance if you prefer. Most of our clients find hardscaping much easier to maintain than traditional concrete or wooden decks.
