A paver is a paving stone, tile, brick, or brick-like piece of concrete commonly used as exterior flooring. Pavers are generally placed on top of a foundation made of layers of compacted stone and sand. The pavers are laid in the desired pattern, and the space between pavers created by the integrated spacer bars is then filled with concrete sand or polymeric sand.

This layered construction is what gives a professionally installed paver patio its strength. The compacted base spreads weight evenly, resists shifting through Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, and allows for proper drainage, while the sand-filled joints lock each paver in place for a stable, long-lasting surface.

With years of experience in patio paver installation, Landscapes Unlimited understands that each home is unique. Our patio installation services throughout Minnesota are designed to complement the aesthetic and practical needs of your outdoor space. We collaborate with you to determine how you plan to use your patio — whether for outdoor dining, relaxation, or entertaining — and customize the paver design accordingly.

From selecting the ideal paver style to planning the layout, we ensure your patio is not only functional but also visually stunning. Our team handles every step:

• On-site consultation and custom patio design
• Paver style, color, and pattern selection
• Base excavation and compacted stone & sand foundation preparation
• Interlocking brick or stone paver installation
• Precision paver placement and joint sanding
• Final grading, cleanup, and walkthrough

One of the key advantages of our paver patio installation services is the durability and versatility of the pavers. Available in various sizes, shapes, and finishes, pavers are designed to withstand Minnesota’s weather conditions while offering lasting beauty. They can be customized to match any outdoor aesthetic, taking into account site factors such as slope and drainage to produce a flawless installation.

• Durable, weather-resistant surface built for Minnesota winters
• Wide selection of sizes, shapes, colors, and finishes
• Custom patterns and layouts to match your home’s style
• Proper slope and drainage engineered into every installation
• Individual pavers can be replaced without redoing the patio

Our professional team handles everything from planning to installation, so you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free process.

Paver patios are just the beginning. The same durable interlocking paver construction extends throughout your property — from paver driveways engineered to handle vehicle loads, to welcoming front walkways and sidewalks, to slip-resistant pool decking that stays cooler underfoot and drains properly. Landscapes Unlimited designs paver surfaces that connect your outdoor spaces into one cohesive landscape.

Pair your new patio with a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, an outdoor kitchen and bar, or a water feature to create a complete outdoor living destination.

Every lasting paver project starts below the surface. Our custom hardscape design process maps your patio, driveway, or walkway to your property’s slope, drainage, and soil conditions before a single paver is placed. Proper base excavation is the difference between a hardscape that lasts decades and one that heaves in its first Minnesota winter.

• Custom hardscape design tailored to your property and how you use it
• Base excavation to the correct depth for patios, walkways, or vehicle-rated driveways
• Compacted class-5 gravel and sand base layers for a stable, frost-resistant foundation
• Grading and drainage planning to move water away from your home
• Interlocking brick or stone installation with edge restraints and joint sand

Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on every outdoor surface. Seasonal maintenance keeps your paver patio, driveway, or walkway looking and performing like the day it was installed — and because pavers are modular, individual stones can be lifted and re-set without tearing out the whole surface.

• Joint sand inspection and polymeric sand replenishment
• Cleaning and sealing to protect color and resist stains
• Re-leveling of settled or shifted pavers
• Spring inspections after winter freeze-thaw cycles
• Weed and moss prevention in paver joints
