You’re tired of looking at that unused backyard space. You know it could be something special, but concrete cracks and cheap solutions fail in Florida’s climate.
Here’s what changes when you get it right. Your mornings start with coffee on a beautiful patio that doesn’t shift, crack, or fade. Friends actually want to come over because you have a space worth gathering in. Your home value increases because buyers in Citrus Hills expect premium outdoor living.
The difference isn’t just in how it looks. It’s in how it performs year after year, through hurricanes and heat, without the constant repairs that come with inferior installations.
We’ve been building quality patios in Citrus County since 1995. We’re not the newest company, but we’re the one that’s still here when others have come and gone.
What makes us different is simple: we do the job right the first time. As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard pavers, we use materials that match the quality standards Citrus Hills residents expect. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in the county, which means your investment stays protected.
This is a family business that’s invested in the community. We help with hurricane cleanup, support local youth programs, and offer discounts to military and first responders because we understand what it means to be neighbors.
First, we come out and actually listen to what you want. Not what we think you should want, but what works for your space and lifestyle.
Next comes the planning. We’ll show you exactly what materials work best for Citrus Hills’ climate and soil conditions. You’ll see samples, understand the process, and know what to expect before any work begins.
Installation starts with proper ground preparation. This isn’t where corners get cut. The base determines whether your patio lasts five years or fifty years. We excavate to the right depth, compact the base material properly, and install edge restraints that keep everything in place.
Finally, we install your pavers with precision spacing and finish with polymeric sand that locks everything together. Before we leave, we seal the surface to protect your investment from Florida’s weather.

Your patio installation includes everything needed for a permanent, professional result. This means proper excavation, compacted base material, edge restraints, precision paver installation, polymeric sand application, and protective sealing.
In Citrus Hills, where homes regularly sell for premium prices, outdoor spaces need to match that quality. Your patio will be built to withstand the area’s unique challenges: sandy soil that shifts, intense summer heat, and hurricane-force winds that test every installation.
The materials matter here. Tremron and Belgard pavers are engineered for Florida’s climate, and as authorized contractors, we have access to the full range of colors and styles. Whether you want something that complements your home’s architecture or makes a bold statement, the options are extensive.
Most importantly, you get a contractor who understands Citrus Hills. We know the community standards, work within HOA guidelines, and deliver results that enhance property values in this premium market.
Patio installation costs in Citrus Hills typically range from $10 to $25 per square foot, depending on the materials and complexity of the design. Florida actually offers some cost advantages compared to national averages, with quality installations often running around $7 per square foot for basic designs.
The final cost depends on several factors specific to your project. Paver material choice makes the biggest difference – concrete pavers start around $8-15 per square foot, while premium natural stone can reach $25-35 per square foot. Size matters too, as larger patios benefit from economies of scale.
In Citrus Hills, where home values are premium, most homeowners invest in mid to high-end materials that complement their property. A typical 300 square foot patio ranges from $3,000 to $7,500 installed, with custom designs and premium materials pushing higher.
Concrete pavers and natural stone both perform excellently in Citrus Hills’ climate, but the choice depends on your priorities. Concrete pavers offer the best value and durability combination, with modern manufacturing creating options that closely mimic natural stone at a fraction of the cost.
Tremron and Belgard pavers, which we install as an authorized contractor, are specifically engineered for Florida conditions. They resist fading from intense UV exposure, handle thermal expansion and contraction, and maintain their structural integrity through hurricane-force winds.
Natural stone like travertine stays cooler underfoot during summer months, which matters when temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees. However, it requires more maintenance and costs significantly more. For most Citrus Hills homeowners, high-quality concrete pavers provide the perfect balance of performance, appearance, and value.
Properly installed paver patios in Florida routinely last 25-50 years, with natural stone installations reaching 75+ years. The key word is “properly installed” – the base preparation and drainage determine longevity more than the paver material itself.
Florida’s climate actually favors pavers over concrete. While concrete slabs crack from soil movement and thermal stress, individual pavers can flex and move slightly without damage. If a paver does get damaged, you can replace just that piece rather than tearing out an entire section.
The biggest threat to patio longevity in Citrus Hills is improper drainage. Sandy soil that doesn’t drain properly can cause settling and shifting. Professional installation includes proper slope for water runoff and base materials that prevent erosion. With proper maintenance like periodic re-sanding and sealing every 3-5 years, your patio investment will outlast most other home improvements.
Most paver patio installations in Citrus Hills don’t require building permits since they’re not considered permanent structures attached to your home’s foundation. However, larger projects or those involving electrical work for lighting may need permits.
The key distinction is between patios and permanent structures. Paver patios that sit on a sand and gravel base typically fall under landscaping rather than construction, so no permit is required. Concrete slabs that create permanent foundations usually do require permits.
We handle permit requirements if they apply to your project. We know local regulations and will obtain any necessary permits as part of our service. We also work within HOA guidelines common in Citrus Hills communities, ensuring your project meets all applicable standards without delays or complications.
The fundamental difference comes down to flexibility and repairability. Concrete patios are monolithic slabs that crack when the ground moves, while paver patios consist of individual pieces that can flex and adjust without damage.
In Florida’s climate, this difference becomes critical. Concrete expands and contracts with temperature changes, and sandy soil movement puts stress on large slabs. When concrete cracks – and it will – you’re looking at expensive repairs or complete replacement. Pavers handle these same stresses by allowing slight movement between individual pieces.
Maintenance and repairs favor pavers significantly. If a concrete patio gets stained or damaged, the entire area needs attention. With pavers, you replace only the affected pieces, and the repair is invisible. Pavers also offer unlimited design possibilities with various colors, patterns, and textures, while concrete options are more limited.
Paver patio maintenance in Citrus Hills is straightforward but important for long-term performance. Regular cleaning with a pressure washer removes dirt and prevents staining, while periodic re-sanding keeps pavers locked in place.
The most critical maintenance task is sealing every 3-5 years. Florida’s intense UV exposure and frequent rain cycles break down protective coatings over time. Proper sealing prevents color fading, reduces weed growth between pavers, and makes cleaning easier.
We use Seal ‘n Lock products exclusively, and as the county’s only distributor, we can provide ongoing maintenance services. This includes re-sanding joints when needed, spot repairs for any settled areas, and professional re-sealing that maintains your warranty coverage. With proper maintenance, your patio will look like new for decades while requiring minimal effort from you.
