Paver Patios & Hardscaping in Wausau, WI
Paver patios, walkways, and retaining walls built on a base made for Wisconsin freeze-thaw. We are paver-based only — no poured concrete.
Locally owned · Insured up to $2 million · Free estimates
Almost every failed patio in Central Wisconsin failed underneath, not on top. Frost moves poorly compacted stone, and the surface tells on it within a couple winters. We excavate to depth, build and compact the base in lifts, screed bedding sand, then set and lock the field with edge restraint and joint sand.
Pavers also let us fix what settles. A section that moves can be lifted, re-based, and reset with the same stone — something you cannot do with a poured slab without tearing it out.
Already bought your materials? Great. We will handle the base, the layout, and all the heavy lifting.

What it costs
Patios start at $20 per square foot installed. That includes a deep, compacted gravel base built for Wisconsin freeze-thaw, which is what keeps a patio flat for decades instead of heaving in two winters. Tearing out an old surface, poor soil, or tight access adds to it. Every project gets a free on-site estimate and a written price before anything is ordered.
Starting points for Wausau-area properties, not a quote. Your written estimate is firm before any work begins.

Common questions
- Do you pour concrete?
- No. We are paver-based by choice. Pavers move with frost instead of cracking, and individual sections can be lifted and reset later.
- How deep is the base?
- It depends on the soil and the use, but we dig past the topsoil and build compacted base in lifts rather than dumping one thick layer. That is the part that decides whether the patio is still flat in five years.
- How long does a patio take?
- A typical residential patio runs a few days on site once we start, weather permitting. We give you the window with the estimate.
- Can you repair a patio someone else built?
- Often, yes. If the base is sound we can reset settled sections. If the base is the problem we will tell you straight rather than patch it twice.
