A paver patio gives you more room to relax and entertain outside, and a well-built one stays flat and level. Here is what homeowners in Medford, Medford Lakes, Marlton, Mount Laurel and across South Jersey ask most when planning a new patio or a patio extension.
What makes a paver patio last?
What is underneath it. A patio is only as good as its base. We prepare and compact the base before any pavers go down, so the surface stays level. That is how we build every paver patio and walkway. Pavers laid on loose or uneven ground can settle, sink or shift out of line.
When is the best time to plan a patio?
Winter is a good time to plan. If you settle the size, shape and layout over the colder months, the build can start in spring and the patio is ready for the warm-weather season.
How big should your patio be?
Start with how you will use it. Think about a table and chairs, a grill or a fire feature, and how many people you want to fit. Leave room to walk around the furniture, not just to fit it. Mark the outline on the ground with a garden hose or stakes to see the size before you decide.
Can you extend an existing patio?
Yes. An extension adds space without starting over. The key is matching the new section to the existing one, in layout and level, so the old and new read as one patio. On a recent job, we extended a backyard patio and matched it to the existing design around the fireplace. It gave the homeowners a larger, more useful space for relaxing and entertaining.
What should you plan around a patio?
Plan how people reach it and where the water goes:
- A walkway linking the patio to the house, the driveway or the yard
- Where the patio meets the house, especially doors and steps
- Water running away from the house, not toward it
- Lighting, if you want to use the space in the evening
Walkways can be pavers or crushed stone. On another recent job, we added low-voltage path lighting along a new crushed stone walkway, for a warm look and better visibility at night.

Paver patio questions
Should I build a new patio or extend the one I have?
If your existing patio is level and in good shape, an extension can add the space you need. The new section should match the existing one so the two read as one patio.
Can a walkway be added at the same time as a patio?
Yes. Planning them together lets the walkway lead straight to the patio and match its look. Walkways can be pavers or crushed stone, with low-voltage path lighting if you want it.
