Pavers & Patios in Katy, TX

A lot of the backyards in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch and Grand Lakes were built for entertaining — covered patios, pools, room to have people over — and a paver patio, brick walk or flagstone area is often the piece that finishes that space off. Jose lays pavers and flagstone on a base that's actually compacted first, not just sand spread under the stones, because that's the difference between a patio that stays level and one that starts shifting after the first year.

Katy's flat, clay-heavy prairie soil makes that base even more important than it would be somewhere with better natural drainage — a patio set without real compaction underneath will settle unevenly once the ground gets saturated in a wet season. Whether it's a full paver patio behind a Cross Creek Ranch pool, a brick walk to a Cinco Ranch front door, or a flagstone path through a Grand Lakes side yard, the base gets the same attention before a single paver goes down, so the finished surface stays flat for years instead of months.
