Picture this: It’s 3 PM on a Tuesday in July, and instead of hiding inside from the blazing Florida sun, you’re relaxing on your beautiful paver patio. The afternoon thunderstorm rolls through, and your space stays functional—no puddles, no damage, no regrets.
That’s what happens when your patio installation is done right the first time. You get a space that works with Ridge Manor’s climate instead of fighting it.
Your friends start asking to come over more often. Your morning coffee tastes better outside. And when it’s time to sell, potential buyers see a home that’s truly move-in ready with outdoor living space that actually adds value.
We’ve been building quality patios in Citrus County since 1995. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors, and we’re invested in this community for the long haul.
We understand Ridge Manor’s specific challenges. The sandy soil that shifts. The afternoon storms that test every installation. The humidity that can wreak havoc on inferior materials.
That’s why we’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard—the manufacturers who build materials tough enough for Florida living. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in our county, which means we have access to protection products other contractors simply can’t offer.
First, we come out and assess your specific site conditions. Ridge Manor’s soil varies significantly from property to property, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we make any promises.
Next, we handle all the excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s also where your patio’s long-term success is determined. We excavate to the proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper drainage—because standing water is your patio’s biggest enemy.
Then we install your pavers with meticulous attention to detail. Every joint is checked. Every line is straight. Every transition is smooth. Finally, we apply our professional sealing process to protect your investment from Florida’s harsh UV rays and frequent moisture.

In Ridge Manor’s climate, your patio material choice matters more than you might think. We work exclusively with Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard because these manufacturers engineer their products specifically for Florida’s challenging conditions.
Concrete pavers offer the best value and durability for most Ridge Manor homeowners. They resist fading, handle thermal expansion better than natural stone, and if one ever gets damaged, it’s easy to replace without affecting the rest of your patio.
Natural stone gives you that premium look but requires more maintenance in our humid climate. Travertine stays cooler underfoot—a real advantage during Ridge Manor’s blazing summer months. Whatever material you choose, we’ll walk you through the maintenance requirements so you know exactly what to expect.
Patio installation in Ridge Manor typically ranges from $12 to $25 per square foot, depending on the materials you choose and your site’s specific conditions. A standard 300-square-foot patio usually runs between $3,600 and $7,500.
Several factors affect your final cost. If your yard requires significant grading or has drainage issues, that adds to the base preparation work. Premium materials like natural stone cost more upfront but can last decades with proper care. Complex patterns or curves require more cutting and labor time.
We always provide detailed written estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any site-specific requirements. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest pricing based on the work your project actually needs.
Most patio installations in Ridge Manor take 3 to 5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend this timeline—we don’t install pavers in the rain because proper base preparation is impossible when everything’s saturated.
Day one is usually excavation and base preparation. This is the most critical phase and can’t be rushed. Day two involves setting the base materials and ensuring proper drainage. Days three and four are typically paver installation and joint filling. The final day covers sealing and cleanup.
Larger patios or those requiring significant site work may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather or unforeseen site conditions affect our schedule.
Concrete pavers perform exceptionally well in Ridge Manor’s climate and offer the best combination of durability, value, and low maintenance. They’re engineered to handle Florida’s thermal cycling—those dramatic temperature swings between air-conditioned interiors and blazing outdoor heat.
Travertine is popular because it stays cooler underfoot, which matters during Ridge Manor’s intense summer months. However, it requires more maintenance in our humid climate and can be more prone to staining from organic matter like leaves and pollen.
Clay brick pavers offer classic appeal and excellent longevity, but they can fade over time with constant UV exposure. Whatever material you choose, proper sealing is crucial in our climate. We’re the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in Citrus County, so we can protect your investment with commercial-grade sealers that aren’t available to other contractors.
Most patio installations in Ridge Manor don’t require permits since they’re considered non-structural improvements. However, if your patio connects to your home’s foundation or requires significant grading that affects drainage patterns, permits may be necessary.
Hernando County has specific requirements about setbacks from property lines and drainage considerations. We’re familiar with all local regulations and will handle any required permit applications as part of our service.
If you’re planning to add features like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or electrical work for lighting, those typically do require permits. We work with licensed electricians and can coordinate all the necessary approvals to keep your project moving smoothly.
Drainage is critical in Ridge Manor because of our sandy soil and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Poor drainage will destroy even the best paver installation within a few years, so we take this seriously from day one.
We start by evaluating your property’s natural drainage patterns and identifying any problem areas. Then we grade the excavated area to ensure water flows away from your home and doesn’t pool on the patio surface. We install proper base materials that allow water to percolate through rather than sitting on top.
For properties with significant drainage challenges, we may recommend French drains or other drainage solutions. These add to the upfront cost but prevent expensive problems later. We’d rather solve drainage issues correctly during installation than have you call us in two years because your patio is settling or developing low spots where water collects.
We’ve been installing patios in Citrus County since 1995, so we understand exactly what works in Ridge Manor’s climate and soil conditions. We’re not learning on your project—we’re applying nearly 30 years of local experience.
We’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, which means we have access to premium materials and manufacturer support that many contractors don’t. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in our county, giving us access to commercial-grade sealers that protect your investment better than standard products.
Most importantly, we do the job right the first time. We don’t cut corners on base preparation or use inferior materials to boost our margins. We’re invested in this community for the long term, and our reputation depends on every project we complete. When you choose Mainstreet Landscaping, you’re choosing a contractor who will be here to stand behind our work for years to come.
