Why Our Patios
Look This Good For This Long
Most patios in Central Virginia start showing problems within five to seven years — cracking, shifting, uneven surfaces. The cause isn't the stone. It's Richmond's clay soil, which expands and contracts with the seasons.
We build differently. Our foundation goes deeper, our base is layered and compacted properly, and every detail is planned so your patio stays level and beautiful for decades. Want the full story? Read our Virginia Clay Soil Guide.
What Goes Into Every Build
The beauty you see on the surface starts with what's underneath:
- Proper Separation: We keep your base materials clean and stable so nothing shifts over time.
- Layered Foundation: Multiple layers of graded stone locked together for long-term stability.
- Careful Compaction: Built in stages for a foundation that holds up through freeze-thaw cycles and heavy use.
"If the base isn't perfect, the patio is just a collection of expensive puzzle pieces waiting to fall apart. We build the base to outlast the house."
Material Selection: Beyond Aesthetics
We partner primarily with Techo-Bloc and Belgard because their manufacturing processes (Wet-Cast and HDR) produce individual units with higher PSI (pounds per square inch) than natural stone. This means they won't flake, scale, or fade under Virginia's brutal UV and humidity cycles.

Finishing
Joint sealing, final cleanup, and a walkthrough with you. Your new space is ready.
Financials & Maintenance

| Maintenance Cost: < $200/year (Simple Power Wash) | ||
The Long-Term Play
Hardscaping is one of the few home improvements that can grow in value as material and labor costs rise. A patio built today for $15,000 may cost far more to recreate in a few years. By building it the right way now, you are locking in today's investment for a space designed to serve your home for years to come.
Our paver systems also offer unparalleled maintenance benefits. Unlike concrete which requires expensive resurfacing, our polymeric sand joints inhibit weed growth and can be topped off every 3-5 years for a few hundred dollars, restoring the patio to brand-new condition.

Proven
In Situ
“From the first phone call, they made us feel like our project actually mattered. The 3D design blew us away — we could see exactly what our backyard would look like before they broke ground. The finished patio is even more beautiful than the rendering.”

“Regan walked us through every detail and kept us updated the entire build. No surprises, no stress. Our neighbors can't stop complimenting the new patio and walkway — it completely transformed our outdoor space.”

“We interviewed three companies and Evergreen was the only one who actually listened to what we wanted. The design process was collaborative, the crew was professional, and they finished on schedule. Our pool deck looks like a resort.”
