Why Choose Custom Stone or Paver Patios?
Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. A well-designed patio gives you a place to relax, entertain guests, and enjoy Louisiana's beautiful weather. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a large entertaining area for family gatherings, a custom stone or paver patio can make it happen.
At LMY Lafayette Masonry, we design and build patios that match your vision and your budget. We work with natural stone, manufactured pavers, and a variety of patterns and colors to create an outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Patios built with quality materials and proper installation techniques can last for decades. They resist cracking, settling, and weather damage when done right. That means less maintenance and more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Patio
The material you choose affects how your patio looks, how long it lasts, and how much maintenance it needs. Here's what we recommend based on years of experience building patios in Lafayette and surrounding areas.
Popular Patio Materials
- •Natural Stone: Bluestone, flagstone, and limestone offer unique colors and textures. No two stones are exactly alike, giving your patio a one-of-a-kind look. These materials stay cooler in summer heat and develop a beautiful patina over time.
- •Concrete Pavers: Available in dozens of shapes, sizes, and colors. Pavers are budget-friendly, easy to repair if one gets damaged, and come in styles that mimic natural stone. They're a great choice for larger patios or when you want a specific pattern.
- •Brick Pavers: Classic look that complements traditional homes. Brick pavers are durable, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain. They work especially well for patios that connect to brick homes or complement existing landscaping.
- •Travertine: A premium natural stone that stays cool underfoot, making it perfect for poolside patios. Travertine has a smooth, elegant finish and comes in warm earth tones that look great in any backyard.
Not sure which material fits your project? We'll bring samples to your property and show you how different options look in your actual outdoor space. We help you compare costs, durability, and maintenance requirements so you can make an informed decision.
Our Patio Installation Process
A patio is only as good as its foundation. We don't just lay stones on dirt and call it done. Our process ensures your patio stays level, drains properly, and looks great for years to come.
What to Expect
First, we excavate the area to the proper depth and grade it for drainage. Water needs to flow away from your home, not toward it. We install a compacted gravel base that prevents settling and shifting over time. This step is critical in Lafayette's clay-heavy soil.
Next comes the sand layer and edge restraints to keep everything locked in place. Then we carefully lay each stone or paver according to your chosen pattern. We check levels constantly and make adjustments as we go. The final step is sweeping polymeric sand into the joints, which hardens to prevent weeds and shifting.
We also integrate paver walkways and stone steps to create a cohesive outdoor living area. If you're planning other hardscape features, we can coordinate everything during the same project.
