You need more room but can’t afford to move or add onto your house. Smart homeowners in Inverness Highlands South are discovering what we’ve known for 29 years: a well-built patio gives you the space you want at a fraction of the cost.
Picture hosting without cramming everyone into your living room. Morning coffee in your own outdoor sanctuary. Evening conversations that don’t end when Florida’s afternoon storms roll through.
Your patio investment returns 95% of its cost in home value while creating the outdoor living experience you actually want. But only if it’s built right the first time with materials and installation methods that won’t fail when Florida’s weather tests them.
We’re the local family business that’s been building patios in Inverness Highlands South since before most patio contractors even existed. Twenty-nine years of learning exactly what works in Citrus County’s unique conditions.
You’ll find us helping with hurricane cleanup, supporting Toys for Tots, and participating in Chamber of Commerce events. We’re not going anywhere because this is our home too.
Our credentials matter: state-licensed irrigation, authorized by Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributors in our county. But what really matters is that we understand your soil, your drainage challenges, and what it takes to build outdoor spaces that last decades in Florida.
We start with an on-site consultation at your Inverness Highlands South home, discussing your vision while evaluating the specific challenges your property presents. Every lot is different, especially around here.
Design comes next – creating a patio that maximizes your usable space while handling water management correctly. We pull permits when needed and coordinate utility markings so nothing gets damaged during installation.
Installation day means proper excavation and base preparation first. This foundation work determines whether your patio lasts five years or fifty. We install pavers according to manufacturer specifications, compact everything correctly, then seal your investment for maximum protection against Florida’s elements. No rushing, no corners cut.

Every patio installation in Inverness Highlands South includes proper drainage solutions because standing water destroys patios. We’ve seen too many failed installations from contractors who skip this critical step to save money.
Your project gets premium materials from Tremron, Belgard, and other trusted manufacturers, installed by state-licensed professionals who understand local building requirements and soil conditions. The clay soil common in our area requires specific base preparation techniques that many contractors simply don’t know.
From initial consultation through final cleanup, you work with Citrus County’s most experienced patio installation team. Military and first responder families receive special pricing because serving our community has always been important to us.
Most patio installations take 3-5 days, but Florida weather can extend that timeline. We won’t install pavers on wet base material because doing so compromises the entire project – and we’re not fixing failures in two years.
Day one typically involves excavation and initial base work. Days two and three focus on base completion, compaction, and paver installation. Final steps include joint sand application and sealing, each requiring proper cure time.
Weather delays frustrate everyone, but they’re better than rushed installations that fail. We’ve been doing this for 29 years in Inverness Highlands South, and we know that taking time to do it right saves you money and headaches later.
Both concrete pavers and natural stone perform well in Florida when properly installed. Your choice depends on budget, style preferences, and how you’ll use the space.
Concrete pavers offer consistent appearance and excellent durability at reasonable cost. Natural stone provides unique character but requires more maintenance and higher investment. Both handle Florida’s UV exposure and occasional freeze-thaw cycles when the installation is done correctly.
The material matters less than the installation quality. Poor base preparation destroys any paver type, while proper installation makes even basic concrete pavers last decades. We help you choose based on your actual needs and budget, not what makes us the most money.
Most basic patio installations don’t require Citrus County permits, but larger projects or those affecting drainage patterns might. Some homeowners’ associations have separate approval requirements beyond county regulations.
We handle all permit research and applications as part of our service because it’s better to check upfront than deal with code enforcement problems later. Our 29 years of local experience means we know exactly what’s required for your specific project and location.
You won’t get surprised by permit issues or compliance problems after we start work. We’ve navigated Citrus County’s requirements countless times and understand both county regulations and local HOA requirements throughout Inverness Highlands South.
Patio installation costs vary significantly based on size, materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Basic installations typically start around $15-20 per square foot, while premium materials and complex designs can reach $30+ per square foot.
Your specific cost depends on factors like excavation requirements, drainage solutions needed, and access to your backyard. Properties with poor drainage or difficult access require additional work that affects final pricing.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprise charges or change orders for standard installation challenges. Most homeowners recover 95% of their patio investment in home value, making it one of the smartest outdoor improvements you can make.
Properly installed patios with correct base preparation rarely experience significant settling or cracking. The key is understanding Inverness Highlands South’s soil conditions and installing appropriate base materials accordingly.
Our area’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes. We account for this by using proper base depth, compaction techniques, and edge restraints that prevent movement. Most patio failures result from contractors taking shortcuts in base preparation to save time and money.
Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, unlike concrete slabs that crack and require complete replacement. This repairability is a major advantage of paver patios – but only if the original installation was done correctly with proper base work and drainage.
Yes, we warranty our installation workmanship and stand behind every project we complete. Specific warranty terms depend on materials chosen and project scope, but we address any installation-related issues promptly and completely.
Manufacturer warranties cover paver materials separately from our installation warranty. As authorized contractors for major manufacturers like Tremron and Belgard, we can handle warranty claims efficiently if material defects occur.
More importantly, we’ve been serving Citrus County since 1995. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, not legal warranty language. If something isn’t right, we make it right – because we’re your neighbors and we plan to stay in business here for many more decades to come.
