What's actually under a patio

Most quotes describe the surface. Here's the part that determines if it lasts.

A patio is a system, not a slab. Every layer below the stone is doing a job — this is what's included in every MK build, and why it doesn't sink, heave, or pool water after year one.

  1. 01

    Site mapping & excavation

    We map drainage paths, grade, and existing obstacles before a shovel goes in the ground.

  2. 02

    Compacted base

    Engineered aggregate base, compacted in lifts — this is the layer that stops sinking and shifting.

  3. 03

    Drainage

    Grading and drainage routing built in, so water moves away from your home instead of pooling on the surface.

  4. 04

    Conduits & wiring

    Lighting conduit and wiring installed before the surface goes down — no trenching through a finished patio later.

  5. 05

    Surface installation

    Natural stone, flagstone, or concrete pavers — set and finished with large-format equipment for a tight, even installation.

MK Landscaping patio build in progress

Real build, real base — this is what's under the stone before the surface goes down.

The build, in order

One crew, five stages, no handoffs.

The same team that designs your patio is the one that builds it — so what you approved on paper is what shows up in the ground.

01

Design

Onsite consult, material samples, and a finalized plan before we ever break ground.

02

Excavation & base prep

Grading, excavation, and compacted aggregate base built to spec.

03

Drainage & conduit

Water management and lighting conduit installed before surfacing.

04

Installation

Natural stone, flagstone, or paver installation with large-format equipment.

05

Walkthrough

Final walkthrough — every element reviewed against the original design.

Material options

Choose the surface, not just the layout.

Natural Stone

Quarried, one of one

No two pieces are alike. The most durable option and the one with the most character over time.

Flagstone

Irregular, organic lines

A softer, more organic layout that suits gardens and naturalistic landscape designs.

Concrete Pavers

Precision, consistency

Tight tolerances and a clean, modern line — ideal for large-format contemporary patios.

Vacuum lifting equipment setting a large-format slab
Why it matters

We vacuum-set large-format slabs.

Big modern slabs are heavy and easy to chip on a manual install. Our vacuum lifting equipment sets them flat, level, and undamaged — and faster than a crew hand-placing 3'x3' stone. It's a small line item most homeowners never see quoted, and it's the difference between a crisp edge and a chipped one.

Why homeowners choose MK

Tired of contractors who let you down?

Every concern below is something our clients lived through — with someone else. Here's how a patio build goes with us.

01

They ghost you mid-project.

You get a single point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough — and we pick up the phone.

02

The quote doubles once work starts.

Every scope is locked in writing before a shovel touches the ground. The number you approve is the number you pay.

03

No design — they just show up and wing it.

You see your finished patio in 3D with material samples before a single stone is placed.

04

The work looks great — until it doesn't.

Proper base prep, drainage, and geogrid where needed mean your patio holds its ground for decades, not seasons.

Questions we get on every call

Patio FAQ

An engineered, compacted aggregate base — depth and material spec'd to your soil and site conditions, not a one-size-fits-all number.

Polymeric jointing sand for pavers, or fitted natural joints for flagstone and natural stone — chosen based on the material and the look you're after.

Drainage is designed in before the surface goes down — proper grading and routing so water moves away from your home instead of pooling.

A structural edge restraint, concealed under soil or landscaping, keeps the perimeter from spreading or shifting over time.

Yes — we handle any required permitting as part of the project.

Yes — every quote is line-itemed by element, so you can see exactly what's included and make informed decisions on scope.

Built by Two Brothers.

Mason started cutting grass in 2020. His brother Graeme joined in 2023, and together they went all in on hardscape construction. Every project today follows a white-glove process from design to installation — clear communication, honest timelines, and a finished space that feels like it was always meant to be there.
