Frequently Asked Questions
How long do paver patios last?
Properly installed paver patios can last 25-50 years or more. The key is a correctly compacted base, proper drainage, and quality materials. We engineer every installation for longevity in Seattle’s wet climate.
Do you handle drainage with hardscape projects?
Absolutely. Drainage is integrated into every hardscape project we build. We assess water flow patterns, install proper sub-base drainage, and ensure all surfaces direct water away from structures.
What materials do you recommend for Seattle?
For Seattle, we recommend materials rated for freeze-thaw resistance and moisture exposure. Interlocking concrete pavers, natural basalt, and granite are excellent choices. We’ll help you select materials that balance aesthetics, durability, and budget.
How long does a typical hardscape project take?
Small projects like walkways take 3-5 days. Medium patios run 1-2 weeks. Large projects with retaining walls and multiple areas may take 3-4 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase.
Do hardscapes require maintenance?
Hardscapes are low-maintenance but benefit from annual cleaning, joint sand replenishment, and periodic sealing. We offer maintenance packages to keep your hardscapes looking their best.
Can you match existing hardscapes?
Yes, we can match existing stone, pavers, and concrete work. We source materials carefully and use techniques to blend new installations seamlessly with what’s already in place.
