Custom Stone & Paver Patios
Transform your outdoor space with beautiful, durable custom stone and paver patios built to last.
Why Choose a Custom Patio for Your Home
Your backyard deserves more than basic concrete. A custom stone or paver patio adds value to your home while creating an outdoor living space where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy beautiful Fargo weather. Whether you want a cozy area for morning coffee or a large space for summer parties, we design and build patios that match your vision and lifestyle.
Stone and paver patios offer incredible durability that concrete simply cannot match. When properly installed with the right base preparation and drainage, your patio will withstand our harsh North Dakota winters without cracking or settling. The individual pieces can flex with ground movement, which means your investment stays beautiful for decades. Plus, if one paver ever gets damaged, we can replace just that piece instead of tearing out an entire section.
We work with natural stone like bluestone, flagstone, and limestone, as well as manufactured pavers in countless colors and patterns. Our Fargo masonry experts help you choose materials that complement your home's architecture while fitting your budget. From simple rectangular patterns to intricate circular designs, we bring your outdoor dreams to life.
Material Options for Your Patio Project
Choosing the right material makes all the difference in how your patio looks and performs. Here is what you need to know about your options:
Natural Stone Patios
- •Bluestone offers a classic blue-gray color that never goes out of style and stays cool underfoot even in summer heat
- •Flagstone provides irregular shapes for a natural, organic look that blends beautifully with gardens and landscaping
- •Limestone creates a warm, elegant appearance and develops a lovely patina over time
- •Each natural stone piece is unique, giving your patio one-of-a-kind character
Manufactured Pavers
Manufactured pavers give you consistent sizing and a huge range of colors and patterns. They cost less than natural stone while still delivering excellent durability. Modern pavers can mimic the look of natural stone, brick, or even wood. You get the aesthetic you want with more predictable pricing and easier replacement if needed down the road.
We help you compare samples in your actual outdoor lighting conditions so you can see exactly how materials will look against your home. Our retaining wall and hardscape experience means we understand how different materials perform in Fargo's freeze-thaw cycles, so you get recommendations based on real-world results, not just appearance.
Our Patio Installation Process
A beautiful patio starts below the surface. Many contractors skip proper base preparation to save time and money, but that leads to settling, sinking, and uneven surfaces within just a few years. We do it right from the start so your patio stays level and stable for the long haul.
We excavate to the proper depth based on your soil conditions, then install a compacted gravel base that provides both stability and drainage. Every layer gets thoroughly compacted with professional equipment. We add a layer of bedding sand that creates a smooth, level surface for the pavers. Proper edge restraint keeps everything locked in place even through ground movement.
Once the base is perfect, we carefully place each stone or paver according to your chosen pattern. We cut pieces precisely to fit around curves, corners, and obstacles. The joints get filled with polymeric sand that hardens to resist weeds and ants while still allowing for drainage. Finally, we compact everything one more time and seal the surface if you choose that option.
This meticulous approach takes more time upfront, but it saves you from expensive repairs and replacements later. Our masonry craftsmanship shows in every detail, from perfectly straight lines to smooth transitions between materials.
