Patio Pavers in Somerset
Level, Usable Backyards for Somerset Homeowners
Somerset capes, ranches, and colonials on modest lots, from the Pierce Beach waterfront to the neighborhoods off Route 103 and Route 138, often have a cracked concrete patio or an aging slab behind the house. We replace those with paver or natural stone patios and add steps, seat walls, or a fire pit where needed.
In Somerset, we build:
- Pavers replacing cracked concrete patios
- Patios sized for Somerset lots
- Fire pits on modest backyards
- Steps down to a new patio
- Natural stone patios near the river
Local conditions
What Sinks Patios in Somerset
Concrete is one rigid piece, so when the ground heaves in a Somerset winter, a slab can crack, and a patch rarely matches. A paver patio flexes with the ground and drains at the joints, and if one area ever settles, those pavers can be lifted, the base corrected, and the same pavers reset.
What usually goes wrong:
- Uneven pavers that catch feet
- Dips where rain sits
- Sand in the joints washed out
- A patio pitched the wrong way
- Backyard space that goes unused
Time to call us if you see:
- An old patio sloping toward the house
- Gaps opening between pavers
- Moss taking over the joints
- Frost lifting stones
- A deck that is failing
When the new patio is part of a bigger plan with walls, steps, and a walkway, read the hardscape contractor page for how we plan everything together.
Our process
How a Paver Patio Is Built in Somerset
Every paver patio in Somerset follows the same sequence, whether it is a small sitting area or a large patio with a fire pit. We plan the patio, dig, build the base, set the drainage pitch, lay the pavers, and finish the edges and joints.
- 01
Measuring and Planning
Before we dig, we settle the shape, size, and pattern, the material, and how the patio ties into the house and yard.
- 02
Excavation to Depth
Grass and soil comes out down to base depth, including any soft or wet ground that would settle.
- 03
Base in Layers
Crushed stone is built up in layers, each one compacted, to carry furniture, people, and a fire pit evenly.
- 04
Grade and Drainage
The patio is pitched gently away from the house, so rain moves off the pavers instead of freezing on it.
- 05
The Paver Surface
A screeded bedding layer takes the pavers, set in your chosen pattern and cut cleanly along the borders.
- 06
Final Compaction
Restraint along the edges goes in, the patio is plate compacted, and joint sand holds the pavers together.

FAQ
Patio Pavers in Somerset: Common Questions
Most Somerset homeowners ask the same few things about paver patios, from pavers compared with concrete and why the base matters to fire pits and how estimates work. You will find the answers below, in plain language. Something else on your mind? Call Backyard Experts at (774) 341-4894.
Which parts of Somerset does your patio service cover?
We cover all of Somerset, ZIP code 02726, as part of our South Coast service area. New patios, fire pit areas, and releveling of old patios are all handled anywhere in Somerset. Phone (774) 341-4894 and tell us your street and what you want to build, and our team will schedule a free consultation.
Can you fix a patio that is sinking?
In most cases, yes. A patio that sinks almost always sits on a base that was too thin, or water that getting underneath. Releveling, we take up the pavers, fix the base and the drainage pitch, and relay the same pavers if they are still sound. We tell you which fix fits during the free consultation.
Why do paver patios sink or shift?
Almost always, the cause is under the surface. A thin base, soft soil that was left underneath, water seeping under the pavers, or missing edging lets the pavers to sink, spread, or lift with frost. Fixing the base right is what stops it.
Can you build steps or a wall with the patio?
Yes. A lot of patio projects in Somerset include stone or granite steps or a retaining wall along one side. Planning them together means the levels, the steps, and the patio fit together, and we give you one written estimate for the whole project.
