Paver & Stone Patios in Spokane, Washington
A paver or natural stone patio gives your backyard a finished, high-end look with joints that flex through Spokane freeze-thaw winters. We build them on a properly dug and compacted base so they stay flat, drain well, and are easy to repair if a section ever needs attention.
About This Service
A paver or stone patio is one of the most popular backyard upgrades in Spokane, and for good reason. Individual units come in dozens of colors, shapes, and textures, so the patio can match brick, stone, or modern siding instead of looking like an add-on. Because each paver sits on its own in a bed of sand, the surface can flex slightly as the ground freezes and thaws, which is one reason pavers hold up so well through Inland Northwest winters.
The part you never see matters most. Most paver problems, such as sinking corners, wavy rows, and weeds in the joints, come from a shallow or poorly compacted base. We dig out soft topsoil, install crushed rock in layers and compact each one, screed a level bedding course, and lock the edges with a restraint so the pattern stays tight. The patio is graded to move water away from the house and toward a spot in the yard that can handle it.
Natural stone is another option for homeowners who want a more rustic look. Flagstone and other stone pieces can be set in a dry-laid base for a relaxed, garden feel, or combined with pavers as a border or accent. We will talk through how each material wears, how it feels under bare feet in summer, and what it costs, so you can choose what fits your home and budget.
- Concrete pavers in many colors and patterns
- Natural flagstone and stone accents
- Fire pit areas and seating walls
- Walkways and steps that connect to the patio
We plan paver patios around how you will actually use the space. A dining area needs room to pull chairs out, a fire pit needs safe clearance, and a path from the back door should be wide enough to carry a tray of food. On sloped lots around the South Hill or the hillsides of Spokane Valley, we can pair the patio with steps or a short retaining wall so the space feels level and comfortable.
If a paver ever cracks or a utility line needs to be reached, the affected section can be lifted and re-laid instead of cut out and patched. That makes pavers a practical long-term choice.

Common Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover common planning questions we hear from Spokane-area customers. Every site is different, so a project review is the best way to confirm the right scope.
Are pavers or concrete better for a patio in Spokane?
Both can work well here. Poured concrete costs less per square foot and gives a smooth, continuous surface. Pavers cost more up front but handle freeze-thaw movement better because each unit can shift slightly without cracking, and a damaged section can be lifted and replaced instead of cut out. Many homeowners choose pavers for the look and easy repairs, and concrete for budget and simplicity. We can walk you through both for your yard.
How much does a paver patio cost in Spokane?
Price depends on the size of the patio, the paver or stone you choose, how much digging and base material the site needs, access for equipment, and extras like steps, seat walls, or a fire pit. Natural stone usually costs more than concrete pavers. A free on-site estimate is the best way to get a clear number for your project instead of a rough range.
Will a paver patio heave or sink in Spokane winters?
Heaving and sinking almost always come from a poor base. We dig out soft soil, install and compact a crushed-rock base in layers, set a level bedding layer, and add edge restraints so the pavers stay locked in place. Grading the patio to shed water away from the house also keeps moisture from freezing under it.
How do I keep weeds and ants out of the joints?
We sweep polymeric sand into the joints after installation. It hardens once it is wet, which helps block weeds, ants, and washout while still letting the patio flex. A quick sweep and an occasional rinse keep it looking good, and the joints can be topped up every few years if needed.
