Hardscape FAQs
How long does a paver patio last in Wisconsin? With proper base, compaction, and drainage, a paver patio can perform for decades. We also provide care/sealant guidance after install.
Do you handle drainage on sloped yards? Yes—expect a plan for pitch, downspout routing, or french drains where appropriate, plus retaining/step integration if needed.
What’s the best time of year to build? We build spring through late fall; scheduling early helps lock in materials and preferred dates.
Can you tie a patio into shoreline protection? Yes—on lake properties we design patios, steps, and access that work with riprap/erosion control and local rules. (Permits are handled on shoreline jobs via our Shoreline team.)
Do you install and warrant both pavers and natural stone? Yes—materials vary by project; we’ll recommend the best fit and include warranty details in your estimate.
