Shawnee, Kansas

Paver patios inShawnee

A wide range of lot sizes, plenty of heavily wooded yards, and terrain that varies street to street.

What Shawnee yards need

Shade, drainage and variable terrain

Shawnee yards are less predictable than most — some are wide open, some are steep, and a lot of them are shaded. Shade matters more than people expect: a patio that never gets sun stays damp, and damp plus poor drainage is how joints grow moss and edges creep. On a shady Shawnee yard we pay extra attention to fall and to where the water actually goes.

Thin layersBase goes down a few inches at a time, each one compacted before the next.
FabricWoven separation fabric keeps Shawnee's clay from working up into the stone.

Services

What we build in Shawnee

Paver patios

New patios and replacements for cracked concrete or a settled paver field. Laid out on the ground in paint before anything is dug.

Walkways & entries

Front walks, side paths and the run from the driveway to the door — the first thing anyone sees of the house.

Fire pit areas

Seating built around a wall-block or steel-insert pit, sized so the chairs fit behind the ring.

Steps & low walls

Steps down a grade change, edging, seat walls and low retaining walls. Past about four feet it needs a permit — we tell you up front.

Permits

Does a Shawnee patio need one?

A patio at ground level usually does not. Retaining walls past about four feet, anything structural, and work near an easement usually do — and requirements vary city to city across the metro. We check it against your address before we hand you a proposal, so nobody finds out mid-job. Kansas 811 gets called before we break ground either way.
