Local conditions
Why Wellesley Backyards Call for a Solid Patio Base
Mature trees on Wellesley lots bring roots, shade, and soil that stays damp near Lake Waban and Morses Pond. A patio here is laid out around the trees, set on a deep compacted base, and pitched so water never sits against the house.
What usually goes wrong:
- Uneven stones that catch feet
- Low spots that hold water
- Sand in the joints washed out
- A patio pitched toward the house
- Backyard space nobody uses
Call us if you see:
- Stones moving when stepped on
- Puddles that stay for days
- Cracks in a concrete slab
- Edges dropping below grade
- Mud by the door
When the backyard sits on a slope, a wall often has to come first. Read the retaining walls page for how we hold the grade.
Our process
How a Paver Patio Is Built in Wellesley
When you call about a patio in Wellesley, the project takes a set path. We check the soil, the slope, and the drainage, explain the options in plain language, and then dig, build the base, pitch it for water, lay the pavers, and finish the edges.
- 01
Layout and Style
Before any digging, we decide the shape, size, and pattern, the material, and how the patio ties into the rest of the yard.
- 02
Excavation to Depth
Soil comes out down to base depth, along with any soft or wet ground that could sink later.
- 03
Base in Layers
Crushed stone is built up in layers, each one compacted, so it carries the patio evenly.
- 04
Grade and Drainage
We pitch the patio gently away from the house, so runoff moves off the pavers rather than pooling on it.
- 05
The Paver Surface
A screeded bedding layer receives the pavers, laid in the pattern you chose and cut cleanly along the borders.
- 06
Final Compaction
Restraint along the edges goes in, the surface is compacted, and sand in the joints holds the pavers together.

FAQ
Patio Pavers in Wellesley: Common Questions
Most Wellesley homeowners want to know the same handful of 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, written plainly. Something else on your mind? Call Backyard Experts at (774) 341-4894.
Which parts of Wellesley does your patio service cover?
We cover all of Wellesley, ZIP codes 02481 and 02482, within our Greater Boston service area. New patios, fire pit areas, and releveling of sunken patios are all available at any address in Wellesley. Call (774) 341-4894 with your address and what you have in mind, and our team will schedule a free in-home estimate.
Can you fix a patio that is sinking?
In most cases, yes. A sinking patio nearly always sits on a base that was too thin, or water got underneath. Releveling, we take up the pavers, fix the base and the drainage pitch, and reset the original pavers if they are still sound. We tell you which fix fits at the free consultation.
Why do paver patios sink or shift?
A paver patio that is built on a compacted base, pitched for water, and held by edge restraint can last for decades. Most of the problems we see start with a thin base, no pitch, or no edge restraint, rather than the pavers themselves. Our patios carry a warranty of up to ten years.
Can you build steps or a wall with the patio?
Yes. Many patio projects we plan include stone or granite steps or a seat wall along one side. Planning them together lets the base, the steps, and the patio fit together, and you get one written estimate for the entire project.
