Custom Stone & Paver Patios

Transform Your Backyard with a Custom Patio

Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. It should be an extension of your home where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy the beautiful California weather. A well-designed patio creates that outdoor living space you have always wanted. Whether you envision quiet morning coffee on a stone terrace or weekend barbecues with family and friends, a custom patio makes it possible.

Here in Roseville, CA, we see homeowners choosing patios over wood decks for good reasons. Stone and pavers do not rot, splinter, or require annual staining like wood does. They handle our hot summers without warping and look better as they age. A quality patio can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance, making it one of the best investments you can make in your property. Plus, outdoor living spaces consistently rank among the top features that add value when you sell your home.

At RV Roseville Masonry, we design and build custom patios that fit your lifestyle and budget. We work with you to choose materials that complement your home, create layouts that maximize your usable space, and build with techniques that ensure your patio stays level and beautiful for decades. From intimate courtyards to expansive entertainment areas, we handle projects of all sizes with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your Patio

Natural Stone vs. Concrete Pavers

One of the first decisions you will make is what material to use for your patio. Both natural stone and concrete pavers create beautiful outdoor spaces, but they have different characteristics that might make one better suited to your needs than the other.

Natural stone includes materials like flagstone, bluestone, limestone, and slate. Each piece is unique with its own color variations and texture. Stone patios have a timeless, organic look that many homeowners love. They stay cooler underfoot in summer heat compared to concrete. Natural stone works especially well for irregular, free-form patio designs. The tradeoff is that natural stone typically costs more than pavers and can be more challenging to install level because each piece is different.

Concrete pavers offer consistency in size, shape, and color while providing excellent durability and value. Modern manufacturing creates pavers in dozens of styles, colors, and textures that can mimic natural stone or create contemporary geometric patterns. Pavers work great for formal designs with clean lines and precise borders. They are also easier to replace if one gets damaged years down the road. We source quality pavers from reputable manufacturers that stand behind their products with long warranties.

Your choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and how you plan to use the space. We bring samples to your property during the design consultation so you can see how different materials look next to your home. We also explain the maintenance requirements, expected lifespan, and cost differences so you can make an informed decision that you will be happy with for years to come.

Our Patio Design and Installation Process

Building Patios That Last

A beautiful patio starts with proper planning and preparation. We begin every project with a site visit to assess your yard, discuss your vision, and take measurements. We talk about how you want to use the space, what style appeals to you, and what features you might want to incorporate. This consultation helps us design a patio that fits both your needs and your property.

The foundation is what separates patios that last from patios that fail. We excavate to the proper depth and create a stable base using compacted gravel and sand. This base prevents settling and provides drainage so water does not pool on your patio surface. We also establish the correct slope to direct water away from your home foundation. These technical details are not visible in the finished project, but they determine whether your patio stays level and crack-free for decades.

Here is what you can expect during your patio installation:

• Site excavation and proper grading for drainage
• Installation of landscape fabric to prevent weed growth
• Compacted gravel base for structural stability
• Sand leveling layer for precise paver placement
• Edge restraints to keep pavers from shifting over time
• Careful placement and leveling of each stone or paver
• Joint sand or polymeric sand to lock pavers in place
• Final compaction and cleanup

We also coordinate with other outdoor features you might want to add. If you are planning outdoor kitchens or fireplaces, we design the patio layout to accommodate those elements. If you want retaining walls to create level areas or raised planters, we integrate everything into a cohesive design. The result is a complete outdoor living space that looks intentional and functions beautifully.
