BackPatio Pavers
Paver patios provide a durable, versatile surface for outdoor dining, entertaining, and everyday use. Available in various colors, shapes, textures, and laying patterns, patio pavers complement traditional and contemporary homes while providing a practical alternative to poured concrete.
Unlike a continuous concrete slab, individual pavers can be removed and replaced when necessary, allowing localized repairs without replacing the entire patio. When installed over a properly prepared base, they create a stable surface designed to withstand regular foot traffic and changing weather conditions.
SCCR Landscapes, Inc. designs and installs custom paver patios throughout North Georgia. Our team considers material selection, drainage, soil conditions, and installation requirements to create patios suited to each property.
Types of Pavers for Patios
Choosing the right paver material affects a patio's appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and overall cost. Each option offers different characteristics depending on the intended use and surrounding landscape.Concrete Pavers
Concrete pavers are a versatile choice for residential patios. Manufactured in various sizes, shapes, colors, and textures, they can replicate the appearance of natural stone or brick while providing a consistent surface.Their range of styles allows homeowners to create traditional running-bond patterns, contemporary large-format layouts, or decorative arrangements.
Brick Pavers
Brick pavers provide a traditional appearance that complements brick homes, established landscapes, and classic architectural styles. Their warm, earthy colors and distinctive texture create an inviting patio surface.Clay brick pavers are manufactured specifically for paving applications and can be arranged in running bond, basketweave, or herringbone patterns. Products rated for exterior paving are suitable for regular foot traffic and weather exposure.
Permeable Pavers
Permeable paver systems allow rainwater to pass through specially designed joints into an engineered aggregate base beneath the surface. These systems can help manage runoff and reduce surface water accumulation when properly designed and installed.Their effectiveness depends on soil conditions, base construction, site grading, and drainage requirements. For North Georgia properties with clay-heavy soils, evaluating the site's ability to absorb and manage water is particularly important.
Natural Stone Pavers

Pavers are suitable for pool decks and surrounding outdoor areas, where surface performance is especially important.A poolside patio must accommodate regular foot traffic, wet conditions, outdoor furniture, and prolonged sun exposure. Selecting pavers with an appropriate slip-resistant finish helps create a practical walking surface around the pool.
During North Georgia's hot summers, surface color and material selection influence how hot a pool deck feels underfoot. Lighter-colored pavers may absorb less solar heat than darker alternatives, although actual temperatures depend on the specific product and exposure.
Proper grading directs runoff away from the pool and nearby structures. Installation must also account for transitions between the pool coping, surrounding walkways, and existing landscape.
Patio Paver Sizes and Project Costs
Patio dimensions influence material quantities, installation time, and overall project cost. Common planning ranges include:- 100–200 square feet: Compact patios suited to a small seating arrangement or bistro table.
- 200–400 square feet: Medium-sized patios accommodating outdoor dining and additional furniture.
- 400–600+ square feet: Larger installations providing room for multiple activity areas.
These are general planning ranges rather than fixed design requirements. The appropriate dimensions depend on available space and intended use.
Beyond square footage, material selection, excavation requirements, base preparation, site access, and drainage conditions influence installation costs. Decorative borders, curved edges, and intricate laying patterns may increase labor requirements.
Properties with significant slopes or difficult soil conditions may require additional preparation. A site evaluation allows SCCR Landscapes to assess these factors and provide an estimate based on the project's specific requirements.
Patio Paver Construction & Site Preparation
A durable paver patio depends on proper preparation beneath the finished surface. Inadequate base construction, compaction, or drainage can contribute to uneven settling and surface movement over time.Our installation process begins with evaluating the existing grade, soil conditions, and proposed patio location. The area is excavated to accommodate the required base materials and finished paver elevation.
A compacted aggregate base provides support, while the bedding layer allows individual pavers to be positioned accurately. Edge restraints help maintain the patio's shape, and joint materials are installed according to the selected paver system's requirements.
Properties throughout North Georgia often feature sloped yards and clay-heavy soils that influence installation.
A relatively level backyard may require straightforward excavation and base preparation, while a sloped property may need additional grading or drainage work. Existing walkways, driveways, and structures can also affect the patio's finished elevation.
Seasonal rainfall makes surface drainage particularly important. Proper grading helps direct water away from the house and prevent unwanted accumulation around nearby structures.
