Modern Patio & Planter Installation
This quaint backyard was ready for an upgrade, and our client envisioned a space that was both functional and inviting. To bring that vision to life, we installed a sleek new patio with room for entertaining, complete with custom-built planters for future greenery. The result? A modern outdoor living area that blends structure with style.
Design & Planning Process
Every project begins with the client’s vision. For this installation, the goal was to create a modern, low-maintenance outdoor area that allowed for easy customization with future plantings.
- Designed patio layout with planters incorporated
- Chose complementary paver and capstone colors for contrast
- Adjusted sizing to fit existing posts and maximize usable space
- Collaborated with the homeowner to ensure the planters could support their desired plant material
Scope of Work
Here’s what our team handled from start to finish:
- Prepared base material using existing crushed stone and bedding layer of 3/8″ chip stone
- Installed Cambridge XL Smooth 3-Piece Paver in Onyx/Natural with a Cambridge 4.5″ x 9″ Smooth Paver in Coal as a sailor course border
- Set polymeric sand between all joints for long-lasting durability
- Built two custom planters using Cambridge Sigma 8″ Plus Smooth in Onyx/Natural with Cambridge Crusader Cap in Coal
- Installed landscape fabric and horticultural mix in planters (client will add plantings)
- Conducted final cleanup and walkthrough with homeowner

Behind the Scenes:
Our crew carefully graded and leveled the base for stability
Pavers were cut and installed with precision around posts and bump-out areas
The biggest challenge was ensuring seamless alignment between the main patio and the planter bump-out—but our crew handled it flawlessly

This project featured a modern patio design with clean border detailing, complemented by two custom-built planters ready for seasonal plantings. Using long-lasting, low-maintenance materials, the new installation provides a stylish and durable upgrade that enhances the outdoor living space and creates the perfect setting for entertaining.
