Patios That Hold Up and Look Right

Custom patio construction and repairs using brick, stone, or pavers in Suwanee, Georgia

You need a patio that stays level, drains properly, and handles the mix of sun, rain, and foot traffic that comes with outdoor use in Suwanee. Patios that settle unevenly create tripping hazards and pooling water, and surface cracks let weeds grow through while making furniture placement difficult. Whether you are building a new outdoor space or repairing an existing one, the base preparation and material choice determine how long the patio performs without needing constant maintenance.

Allgood Construction Services Inc builds and repairs patios using brick, stone, or pavers selected for durability and weather resistance. New construction includes site grading, compacted base layers, and material layout designed to shed water away from your home's foundation. Repairs address settling, cracking, and surface damage by resetting pavers, replacing broken units, and re-leveling sections that have shifted over time. Each project is planned around how you use the space, whether that means accommodating seating areas, fire pits, or connections to existing walkways and landscaping.

How the Patio Gets Built and What You Notice After

Building a patio starts with excavation to remove topsoil and create a stable base for the materials. In Suwanee, we install layers of compacted gravel and sand that prevent settling and allow water to drain through rather than pooling on the surface. Brick, stone, or pavers are laid in a pattern that fits the shape of your yard and the way you plan to use the space, with edge restraints to keep the materials from shifting outward over time.

Once the patio is finished, you will see a level surface that drains correctly and stays stable under furniture and foot traffic. Joints between pavers are filled with sand that locks the units together, and the entire surface is tamped to eliminate gaps or wobbling. You can place tables, chairs, and grills without worrying about uneven footing or water collecting after storms.

Material selection affects both appearance and long-term maintenance, with natural stone offering varied color and texture while brick and concrete pavers provide uniformity and easier replacement of individual units if damage occurs. Repairs involve lifting and resetting sections that have sunk or shifted, replacing cracked or broken pavers, and re-leveling the base if necessary. The work does not include landscaping, irrigation adjustments, or structures such as pergolas or shade coverings, which require separate planning and coordination.

What You Need to Know Before Starting

Homeowners in Suwanee often ask about material choices, how long construction takes, and what causes patios to fail, so these answers address the practical concerns that come up during planning and decision-making.

What materials last longest for patios in Georgia?
Natural stone, brick, and concrete pavers all resist weather and wear when installed over a properly compacted base. Your choice depends on the look you want and whether you prioritize uniform appearance or natural variation in color and texture.
How long does patio construction take?
Most patio projects take one to two weeks depending on size, material, and site conditions. Weather delays can extend the timeline in Suwanee, especially during heavy rain that affects base preparation and compaction.
Why do patios settle or crack over time?
Settling happens when the base is not compacted properly or when water erodes the material underneath. Cracks occur from freeze-thaw cycles, heavy loads, or individual pavers breaking under impact, all of which can be repaired by resetting or replacing affected sections.
What is the difference between repairing and rebuilding a patio?
Repairs involve fixing isolated problems such as sunken areas, cracked pavers, or weed growth in joints. Rebuilding is necessary when the entire base has failed, the surface has widespread damage, or the patio no longer drains correctly despite targeted fixes.
When should I repair a patio instead of replacing it?
You should repair your patio if the damage is limited to a few pavers or a small settled section. Replacement makes sense when the base has deteriorated, water pools across large areas, or the patio no longer meets your functional or aesthetic needs.
