A paver patio is only as good as the base underneath it. In Matthews, that means excavating deep enough to get out of the clay, installing and compacting the right depth of aggregate, and building in the fall so water moves away from the house instead of pooling on the pavers.
We build the full range of hardscape for Matthews properties — patios, seat walls, retaining walls, walkways, steps, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens — with the same crew from excavation through final joint sand.
What's included in Matthews
- Paver patios with properly compacted aggregate base
- Segmental retaining walls with drainage stone and geogrid where needed

- Fire pits and seat walls
- Outdoor kitchens and pergola pads
- Grading and drainage tied into the hardscape design
Local conditions
Matthews clay expands and contracts with moisture, which is what fails a shallow-base patio in a few winters. We do not shortcut base depth, and we pitch every patio away from the structure.

Hardscaping & Paver Patios in Matthews — common questions
How much does a paver patio cost in Matthews?
Price is driven by square footage, paver selection, how much excavation and grading the site needs, and whether walls, steps, or lighting are included. We give an itemized written quote after walking the site.
Pavers or stamped concrete?
Pavers, for our soil. Concrete slabs crack as clay moves; individual pavers flex with it, and a damaged paver can be lifted and replaced instead of resurfacing the whole slab.
Do I need a permit for a patio in Matthews?
Ground-level patios typically do not, but retaining walls above a certain height and any structure attached to the home can. We confirm requirements before starting and handle what is needed.
