Choose your city
California's mild climate allows for paver patio installation throughout most of the year. While ideal installation windows exist, the weather is generally forgiving. Proper drainage is always important, especially in areas prone to rain or fog. We handle permitting, which can vary significantly by city and county in California. The state features a wide range of housing, from coastal homes to inland properties, meaning paver designs can be highly customized to suit any aesthetic. We ensure our installations are built to last in California's varied environments.
