Pavers give you color, pattern and flexibility, and they handle freeze and thaw better than poured concrete because they can move slightly. What matters most is what you do not see: excavation, a compacted aggregate base, a screeded bed of sand and solid edge restraint.
We build paver patios in herringbone, running bond, basketweave and circular patterns, with soldier or sailor borders and fire-pit or seat-wall integration. A well-built paver patio in Nashville stays level through years of use.
