Backyard Patios, Walkways & Steps

Our retaining walls, patios, and walkways are the best in town. Built with more than just TLC, they offer limitless aesthetic and practical possibilities. Our stonescapes will provide undeniable value to your home and landscape. The installation process and applications we use are designed to withstand the area’s annual freezing and thawing cycles that can damage improperly installed walks and patios. We are constantly seeking ways to learn and improve our installation practices, and because of this commitment, we are certified and licensed ICPI and NCMA installers.

Pavers aren’t just for entertaining spaces; they can also be functional and aesthetically pleasing as driveways or walkways. Our paver and stone patios, walks, and driveways make your outdoor living area exciting and attractive. Low maintenance and high value make these choices a great investment for your home. Let us help you impress your family, friends, and neighbors with a sturdy and functional area using Belgard or Romanstone Pavers.

This is where we truly get to showcase creativity in your new backyard patios! Beyond Backyard Living utilizes a variety of types, styles, textures, and colors of pavers to make your space one-of-a-kind.
Similar to backyard patio design, entryways and driveways also offer opportunities for creativity. Beyond Backyard Living can help you create the perfect entryway that represents your home and family.
There are several creative and functional ways we can help you access the different levels of your backyard. At Beyond Backyard Living, we install a lot of steps! One of our favorites is our diverse natural stone steps. They typically measure 5-7” in height and are about 3’ wide, with varying lengths and widths.

Paver FAQs & Myths

Clay pavers are made with real clay that is mixed, extruded and baked in a kiln at very high temperatures and concrete pavers are made with a special blend of concrete and coloring that is compacted at very high pressures in a special machine.
There is very little difference between pavers in general. The important difference is the maker of the pavers. Paving materials can vary from one manufacturer to next. The qualities that make a paver perfect are its compressive strength, water absorption rate and abrasion index.
No, that is one of the long term benefits to installing Flexible paving. Because all interlocking paving is flexible it can also resist cracking. This is especially beneficial in California which has very expansive soils.
Interlocking paving is a misleading term. What actually constitutes interlocking is really a dynamic function containing three different components. They are “rotational interlock” (resistance to tipping) “horizontal interlock” (resistance to spreading) “vertical interlock (resistance to sinking)”. So, that means for lasting quality you need good containment, good sub base and proper paver thickness. Thicker pavers for driveways thinner pavers for patios.
Yes, it protects it from leaky cars that might leave oil stains and it stays cleaner for much longer if you seal it right away before it has a chance to get stained. Remember when it’s sealed it only takes a hose to clean it off. We use breathable type sealers that protect against just about anything.
In most situations faded concrete can be renewed by recoloring it using various Tints & Stains.
Belgard pavers installed by an Authorized Belgard Contractor have a cost similar to stamped concrete. Landscaping, unlike drapes and other expensive interior additions, can add on average of 15% to your homes’ value in curb appeal alone. Belgard Pavers include a lifetime warranty, easy repair, and a valuable unique look.
Belgard Pavers are actually 3 times stronger than concrete. Belgard Pavers are even used on airport taxi runways and rail box car storage because they are so much stronger and durable than concrete.
The life expectancy of Belgard Pavers is 40 years with little to NO maintenance if installed by an Authorized Belgard Contractor. The professional installation includes a warranty which is in effect for as long as you own the home.
Belgard Pavers Authorized Contractors include a 5 year warranty for their base work. If a base is installed properly the first time, it is unusual for it to shift much over the lifetime of the pavers. In the event that some shifting does occur, pavers can be easily repaired since they are set in a mortar less system.
Pavers laid by an Authorized Belgard Contractor can be cleared of snow with a regular plow or snow blade as the surface will be even. Belgard Concrete Pavers have salt tolerances that make them hold up better than concrete. Snow will melt faster because it can breathe through the joints of the pavers. Water will also drain down so it will be less likely to be slick.
Pavers are actually suited much better than concrete in freeze and thaw since they are flexible like asphalt. In Canada and many European countries that have a similar climate they use little to no concrete since it will crack in freeze thaw climates.
Pavers around pools are no hotter on the feet than stamped or regular concrete and actually provide a much more slip resistant surface. Pavers allow drainage and some even have a textured surface on top that can be an added safety benefit.
Polymeric sand, which takes the place of regular sand has glue in the mix and will not allow weeds, insects or wash-out of sand from between the joints.
Many Authorized Belgard Paver Contractors will do small repairs at no charge if the issue is due to their installation. Patterns are usually very easy to follow and you can simply reuse the same pavers. It is actually much simpler than concrete since it is a mortar less system.
