Where should a patio go?

Usually off the door people actually use, sized for the furniture or grill you plan to put on it, and placed where drainage works. We walk the yard and talk through it before quoting.

Why do patios settle?

Insufficient base or poor compaction. Getting the base right is what keeps a surface level over time.

Both work. Concrete gives a continuous surface; pavers give a different look and can be lifted and reset. We will go over what suits the site.

Can you tie a walkway into an existing drive?

Yes. Connecting drives, patios, doors and gates is typical of these projects.

Will drainage be handled?

Yes. Surfaces are set with fall so water leaves the area rather than standing on it or running toward the house.

Do you repair existing patios and walks?

In many cases yes. If a surface has failed because of base problems, rebuilding is often the better value.

Patios & Walkways in Rome, GA

A patio gives you somewhere to actually sit outside. A walkway gets people from the drive to the door without crossing wet grass or a muddy path.

Tony's builds both, including the excavation, base and grading underneath.

What goes into a patio or walkway

The finished surface is the last step. Before it, the area is excavated, base material is installed and compacted, and elevations are set so water drains away from the house instead of pooling on the surface.

Layout matters as much as construction. A patio sized and placed for how the yard is actually used gets used; one squeezed into a leftover corner does not.
