Paver Patio Installation in Seattle

Covered lounge, fire table & turf lawn

Full backyard rebuild in pavers and turf

Patio, turf lawn, planting beds and a new cedar fence — the whole yard rebuilt as one project.

Natural flagstone patio

Hand-fitted flagstone laid tight, replacing a tired lawn that never drained properly.

Outdoor kitchen and fire pit

Built-in grill island and fire pit set into a paver patio with a matching seat wall.

Terraced patio with stone steps

Grey stone terraces stepping down a steep back garden into a seating area.

Whole-backyard turf and patio

The back of the house opened onto mud. Now it opens onto a patio and a lawn that drains.

Fire pit patio with a view

A circular seat wall and fire pit set at the top of the garden where the view is.

Patio with steps up to the lawn

Two levels connected properly — paver patio below, steps up to the planted lawn above.

Flagstone terrace around a hot tub

Irregular flagstone fitted around an existing hot tub and a new fire pit.

Paver terrace, block wall and turf lawn

A sloping back garden cut into two usable levels — paver terrace at the top, level turf lawn below, and a block wall doing the work between them.

Chequerboard slab patio by the playhouse

Large-format slabs laid as a chequerboard, squaring off the corner of the garden the playhouse stands in.

Flagstone patio with a fire bowl

Hand-fitted flagstone laid tight, with a fire bowl and seating where the lawn used to sit wet.

Slab patio below an existing deck

Large-format slabs filling the dead ground under the deck, with a low wall holding the bank behind them.

Paver patio with a fire table

A paver patio the width of the garden, with new planting beds along the fence and lighting set into the edge.

Grey paver patio, the day it went down

Photographed before the edges were backfilled. The base under a patio is what decides whether it is still flat in ten years, and it is the part nobody photographs.

Terraced vegetable beds over a turf lawn

A brick-faced wall the full width of the garden, carrying raised vegetable beds above a level turf lawn and paver terrace.

Slate terrace in mixed tones

Multi-tone slate laid in a random pattern, running out to a clipped hedge at the edge of the property.

Circular fire pit and seat wall

A curved seat wall wrapping a stone fire pit, set into a paver patio at the top of the garden.

Cedar screen, concrete patio and turf

A small city garden done as one job — horizontal cedar screen for privacy from the neighbours, a concrete patio, and turf that stays green through the winter.

Block wall with a rock drainage strip

The rock strip between the wall and the slab is the part that matters: it takes the water down to daylight instead of leaving it standing behind the blocks.

Capped raised planter on a paver terrace

A raised planter running the length of the terrace, capped in charcoal to pick up the darker banding in the paving.

Slate patio behind a cedar screen

Blue and rust slate laid in a random pattern, enclosed by a new horizontal cedar screen.

Covered outdoor kitchen, deck and turf terrace

A back garden built as three connected rooms: a covered kitchen with the grill plumbed in, a warm-toned deck for the table, and a slab terrace stepping up to turf around the fir that was there first.

Fire-table terrace on a hilltop lot

Magnolia gives up a downtown view if the garden is cut to face it. Slab terrace at the top of the slope for the fire table, charcoal block wall holding the bank behind, turf on the level below.

Deck with lit steps down to the patio

Warm lights set into the risers so the steps read after dark without a single fitting on a post. The deck runs the width of the house and lands on the existing paver patio.

Circular fire-pit patio with a curved seat wall

A circle is the hardest shape to lay well — every course has to be cut to the radius. Capped seat wall around the back, contrasting inner ring under the fire bowl, path lights set into the bed edge.

Paver patio, pond and gazebo deck

The dining patio, the water and the raised deck are one continuous route rather than three features dropped on a lawn — the curve of the patio edge sets up the planted bed and the pond sits inside it.

Brick terrace, rockery and water feature

A whole garden built in one go on a wooded lot: brick terrace at the bottom, stone rockery holding the bank, a waterfall running through it, and a pergola marking the top level.

Paver steps and a cut border

Close on the junction that decides whether a patio looks built or looks bought: step nosing, soldier course and field, all arriving on one line.

Patio, steps and a kept lawn

A wide run of paver steps down from the house to a terrace that stops where the lawn begins. Not every garden wants paving all the way to the fence.
