Custom Paver Patio in Charlotte, NC

The Challenge

This Charlotte, NC homeowner needed an outdoor space that solved a specific problem — drainage, sloped grading, an underused yard, or a transition between indoor and outdoor living — without compromising the look of the home. Our team scoped the site, identified the constraints, and proposed a design built around the way the family actually uses the space.

The Design & Material Selection

For this project we specified Concrete pavers, chosen for durability in Charlotte's freeze-thaw cycles and for the way the color and texture sit against the home's existing architecture. The layout was drawn to match the home's sight lines, the lawn's natural grade, and the way the family moves between the house, patio, and yard.

The Final Result

A paver patio is a fantastic way to enjoy the outside of your home. Relax, unwind or celebrate with family and friends hanging out on your paver patio. Instead of a dull and cracked concrete pad, invest in a Belgard paver patio. Mr. Outdoor Living® can design and build your hardscape project with excellence.

The American Institute of Architects reports that seven in 10 architects have noticed an increase in Outdoor Living’s popularity, while only 4 percent noted a decrease. A Houzz survey also notes that 70 percent of homeowners want a contractor who is an expert in his field – a sharp contrast to the DIY mentality in the early 2000s.

“Most homeowners don’t embark on yard projects looking ahead to the day they will eventually sell their homes,” says J.C. Henry, CEO of EP Henry. “But it’s nice to know that the day-to-day enjoyment of a beautifully designed yard can be capped by an impressive ROI when it comes time to sell.” A well designed Outdoor Living space can deliver a high-end return of investment.

The construction of a paver patio is meticulous in each and every step. Prior to when we arrive, we contact you with an expected time. We always keep you informed during the production process. Next, when we begin digging, we are focused on structural integrity of the paver patio. To insure that result, we create a strong base of an at least 4” of tamped Aggregate Base Composite (ABC). This stage creates the proper level that we need for your new paver patio.

After the ABC is completed we install a thin layer of screenings. The screening provide the proper support for the paver patio. When we install the pavers, the design usually includes a 3-piece-pattern and a soldier course border. The pattern is random, but installed in a way to be easy on the eyes. It looks great!

To secure the border, Snapedge and nails are installed. Finally, a Polymeric sand is installed in the joint to bond the pavers together and prevent any weeds from growing.
