Old Deck Gone, Custom Paver Patio and Walkway Built

Here's what we were working with - an old deck and sidewalk that had run their course. Beyond just looking worn, they were creating real drainage problems in the backyard. Sometimes the right move isn't patching something. It's starting clean.

We pulled everything out and redesigned the space from the ground up. The goal was simple: fix the drainage, open up the yard, and give this family a space they'd actually want to use. The new paver patio runs wide and flat off the back of the house, with a matching paver walkway that wraps along the side - all tied together with a clean dark border detail.

The steps leading down from the back door were rebuilt in matching pavers too. It's one of those details that makes the whole thing feel intentional rather than pieced together. Everything flows from the door to the patio to the back of the yard without any awkward transitions.

Drainage was a core part of this job, not an afterthought. The old surfaces were trapping water and directing it the wrong way. With the new paver installation, we were able to grade the area correctly so water moves away from the house the way it should. That kind of functional work doesn't always get talked about, but it matters.

What we ended up with is a backyard that's genuinely usable. There's room to set up a table and chairs, room to move around, and a layout that makes the whole yard feel bigger and more connected. That's what a well-planned paver patio installation can do when drainage and design are treated as one problem, not two.
