Local conditions
What Sinks Patios in Duxbury
Duxbury sits on sandy coastal soil that drains well but moves easily, and storms near the bay bring heavy, wind-driven rain. A patio here needs a compacted base, firm edge restraint, and a pitch that carries water off the pavers so the joints and edges stay tight.
Frequent patio issues:
- A shallow base that settles
- Edges spreading with no restraint
- Runoff draining toward the house
- Frost heaving pavers
- Wood decks rotting
Warning signs to watch for:
- Pavers rocking when stepped on
- Water sitting for days
- Splits across a concrete slab
- Borders dropping below grade
- Bare dirt outside the slider
If the patio belongs to a larger plan with walls, steps, and a walkway, read the hardscape contractor page for how we plan it as one job.
Our process
How a Paver Patio Is Built in Duxbury
When you call us about a patio in Duxbury, the work follows a set order. We look at the soil, the grade, and the water, explain the materials clearly, and then dig, build the base, pitch it for water, lay the pavers, and lock the edges.
- 01
Layout and Style
Before we dig, we settle size, shape, and pattern, the paver or stone, and how the patio ties into the house and yard.
- 02
Digging to the Right Depth
Grass and soil comes out to the depth the base needs, including any soft or wet ground that would settle.
- 03
Layered Gravel Base
A crushed stone base goes in in layers, compacted each time, so it carries the patio evenly.
- 04
Grade and Drainage
The patio is pitched slightly away from the house, so runoff moves off the pavers instead of pooling on it.
- 05
Bedding and Pavers
A level bedding layer takes the pavers or natural stone, set in your chosen pattern and cut cleanly along the borders.
- 06
Final Compaction
Restraint along the edges goes in, the patio is compacted, and joint sand holds the pavers tight.

FAQ
Patio Pavers in Duxbury: Common Questions
Most Duxbury property owners ask the same handful of things when it comes to paver patios, from pavers compared with concrete and why the base matters to seat walls and fire pits and estimates. The answers are below, written plainly. Another question? Call Backyard Experts at (774) 341-4894.

Are pavers better than a concrete patio?
In most New England yards, yes. A concrete slab is one rigid piece, so freeze and thaw cracks it and repairs never match. Pavers rest on a compacted base and the joints that let the surface move slightly instead of cracking, and any single paver can be taken up and replaced if needed.
Why do paver patios sink or shift?
The pavers just carry the load onto what is under them. A well-compacted gravel base keeps the surface flat, lets water drain, and stands up to frost. If the base is too shallow or poorly compacted, the surface sinks, holds puddles, and shifts after a few winters.
Can a patio be built on a sloped yard?
Yes, often with a retaining wall to create the level ground first. We look at the grade and where water runs, then design the patio and the wall together, so the steps, base, and drainage fit. What it takes is explained during the free consultation.
