Why Choose a Stone or Paver Patio for Your Home
Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. When you add a custom stone or paver patio, you create an outdoor living space where your family can gather for meals, host friends, or simply relax after a long day. Unlike wood decks that need constant staining and repairs, stone and paver patios are built to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Here in Columbia, MO, we see all kinds of weather. Hot summers, cold winters, rain, and snow can take a toll on outdoor structures. That is where stone and pavers really shine. These materials are incredibly durable and can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them. Plus, they add serious value to your home. Real estate agents will tell you that a well-designed patio is one of the best investments you can make.
We work with homeowners throughout Columbia to design patios that fit their unique needs. Maybe you want a cozy space for morning coffee, or perhaps you are thinking bigger with room for an outdoor dining table and lounge chairs. Whatever your vision, we can bring it to life with materials that complement your home and landscape. Check out our masonry services to see the full range of what we offer.
Choosing the Right Materials for Your Patio
One of the best parts about designing a custom patio is picking the materials. We offer a wide range of options, and each one has its own look and feel. Natural stone gives you that high-end, timeless appearance. Think flagstone, bluestone, or limestone. These stones have unique colors and textures that make every patio one of a kind.
Pavers are another fantastic choice. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can create patterns and designs that really stand out. Concrete pavers are affordable and versatile, while clay brick pavers offer a classic, traditional look. We help you pick the right material based on your budget, style preferences, and how you plan to use the space.

Our Patio Installation Process
Building a patio that lasts requires more than just laying stones on the ground. We follow a proven process that ensures your patio will stay level, drain properly, and look great for years to come. It all starts with proper site preparation. We excavate the area to the right depth, then create a stable base using compacted gravel and sand.
Drainage is critical here in Columbia. If water pools on your patio or soaks into the base, you will end up with shifting pavers and other problems down the road. We grade the site correctly and install drainage solutions when needed. This attention to detail is what separates a patio that lasts five years from one that lasts fifty.
Step-by-Step Installation
First, we meet with you on-site to discuss your vision and take measurements. Then we create a design that fits your space and budget. Once you approve the plan, we handle all the permits if needed and schedule the work around your timeline.
During installation, we excavate the area, build the base, and carefully place each stone or paver. We use edge restraints to keep everything locked in place and fill the joints with sand or polymeric sand for stability. Finally, we clean up the site and show you how to maintain your new patio. If you are also interested in enhancing other areas, our paver walkways and driveways complement patios beautifully.
Most patio projects take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on the size and complexity. We keep you updated throughout the process so you always know what to expect. Our goal is to make this as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.
