Paver Patio in Johnson City, TN

Paver Patio Across Johnson City, TN

Johnson City is where Mendez Hardscaping is based, and it is the part of the Tri-Cities where most of our hillside lots, older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions sit side by side. Red clay soil and a real freeze-and-thaw winter mean a base that is not built right will show it within a few seasons.

Johnson City lots often have a slight slope or clay soil that holds water, so a paver patio here needs a well-drained, well-compacted base. We check the grade at the house, plan the pitch of the patio so rain moves away from your foundation and size the space for your furniture. Many Johnson City clients ask for a patio off the back door with a fire pit area at the far end, and we build that layout often.

How We Build paver patio

The pavers get the attention, but the base does the work. We excavate to the proper depth, lay and compact crushed stone in layers, set a bedding layer to the right grade and then lay the pavers tight, with edge restraints to lock the pattern in place. Polymeric sand in the joints helps keep weeds out and the surface stable.
