Custom Paver Patios in Charlotte, NC
Custom paver and flagstone patios built on engineered base for decades of beauty.
Service Overview
Paver Patios tailored to your property
A paver patio that lasts in the Carolina Piedmont starts six inches under the surface — proper excavation, geotextile fabric, compacted aggregate base in lifts, screeded bedding sand, and polymeric joint sand swept and locked. Skip any of those steps and your patio shifts, settles, and washes joints out by year three. Do them right and the patio looks the same in twenty years as it did the day we left.
We design and build custom paver patios across Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Ballantyne, Waxhaw, Fort Mill, and Tega Cay. Concrete pavers from Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Pavestone, clay brick, and natural flagstone — laid in patterns that complement your home's architecture and built to handle Carolina freeze-thaw cycles and summer thunderstorms.

Who it's for
Homeowners replacing a stamped concrete or wood deck
Cracking stamped concrete and rotting wood decks aren't worth saving. Pavers give you a permanent, low-maintenance, individually-replaceable surface that outperforms both — and looks dramatically better.
Backyards needing real outdoor living space
If your backyard is just lawn, you're not using it. A properly sized paver patio (typically 300–600 sq ft for a real seating + dining setup) turns it into the most-used room in the house.
New construction in Lake Norman, Waxhaw & Fort Mill
Builder-grade concrete slabs are an afterthought. We come in and replace them — or build the real outdoor space the lot was always meant to have.
How we scope your project
Every property is different, so every quote is too. Here's the general path we take from first call to finished work — adjusted to fit the size, complexity, and goals of your specific project.
1. Design consultation
We meet on site, talk through how you'll use the space, take measurements, and present a layout with paver options, patterns, and pricing — usually within a week of the site visit.
2. Excavation & base prep
We excavate to proper depth (typically 8–10 inches), install geotextile fabric, and compact aggregate base in 2-inch lifts — the part DIY and budget contractors skip.
3. Paver install & cuts
Bedding sand screeded, pavers laid in pattern, custom cuts at edges, and edge restraint installed to lock the field. Polymeric joint sand swept, set, and activated.
4. Final inspection & care plan
We walk the finished patio with you, address any concerns, and leave a simple care guide on cleaning, joint sand maintenance, and optional sealing.
Why Piedmont Landscape & Irrigation
- Engineered base with proper depth and compaction in lifts — not a single dump-and-roll pass.
- Polymeric joint sand, not regular sand — locks joints against weeds, ants, and washout.
- ICPI-trained crews — Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute installation standards.
- Multi-year workmanship warranty on settlement and joint integrity.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a paver patio cost in Charlotte?+
Most residential paver patios run $22–$38 per square foot installed depending on paver selection, pattern complexity, and site access. Most full backyard patios fall between $9,000 and $22,000. Flat written quotes after the site visit.
Pavers vs stamped concrete — which is better?+
Pavers. Stamped concrete cracks (concrete always cracks), the color fades and is hard to refresh, and repairs leave visible patches. Pavers flex with freeze-thaw, can be individually replaced, and look better at 10 years than stamped concrete does at 3.
How long does the install take?+
Most residential patios run 5–10 working days from excavation to finished install. Larger projects with walls, fire pits, or kitchens layered in run 2–4 weeks.
Do I need to seal my pavers?+
Optional but recommended. Sealing enhances color, locks joint sand further, and makes cleaning easier. We can seal at install or come back the following season after the pavers fully cure.
