Paver, stamped concrete, travertine, and flagstone patios designed for shade, drainage, and entertaining. Owner-operated since 2018, with every layout walked by Edward before bid.
Every patio job we bid starts with a site walk and a conversation about how the space has to work — morning coffee, summer dinners, weekend gatherings, the dog in July, the rain in August. Edward Steve Bencomo, our principal, walks the yard with you, talks through material options, and prices the layout against your actual budget rather than a template.
Four patio surfaces we install across the East Valley. Each one performs differently under Arizona sun, foot traffic, and patio furniture — the right call depends on the use, the existing yard, and the look you're after.
Interlocking concrete pavers in a wide range of color blends and patterns. Individual stones flex with ground movement instead of cracking, and a single damaged paver can be lifted and replaced years later without re-pouring the whole patio.
A monolithic pour finished with a textured stamp — slate, ashlar, wood plank, flagstone pattern. Lower up-front cost than pavers and a clean continuous surface, with a sealed finish color tuned to the home's exterior palette.
Natural stone with a cooler surface temperature than darker pavers — meaningful in July when surface temps on dark hardscape can pass 150°F. Tumbled or honed finish, set in standard French pattern or custom layout.
Irregular natural stone for the most organic look. Reads native to the desert and pairs well with mixed-material yards — flagstone walkway, paver patio, decomposed granite borders. Joints can be mortared or planted.
Three questions decide the patio. We walk through them on the first visit so what gets bid is what gets built.
Where the sun hits in July at 4 PM is not where it hits in March at 10 AM. We map the shade patterns against how you want to use the space — and decide whether a shade structure, tree planting, or pergola has to come with the patio.
A six-seat dinner table needs roughly 12 by 14 feet of clear paving with chairs pushed back. A grill zone, lounge area, and dining area need flow between them. We size to the use, then check against the yard — not the other way around.
Every patio gets at least 1/4 inch per foot of fall away from the house, with grading checked against the existing yard's runoff. Monsoon season in the East Valley is unforgiving — drainage is engineered before paving starts, never patched after.
A patio that gets used past 6 PM in July has either shade overhead or no one sitting on it. A patio that gets used after sunset has lighting layered in — path lights, accent lights, downlights from the structure. A patio that hosts gatherings has the grill, the prep counter, and the sink within reach.
We design these pieces into the patio at bid stage when they're part of the project, so the slab cuts, conduit runs, and gas lines are in the ground before paving — not chased into a finished surface a year later.
Concrete pavers and travertine are the longest-lived — 25 to 40 years of structural life when the base is built right, with individual stones replaceable along the way. Stamped concrete typically holds 15 to 25 years before the sealer needs full restoration and any hairline cracks need to be addressed. Flagstone life depends on the mortar joints more than the stone itself. UV and surface temperature don't shorten any of these materially when the install is done correctly — the base prep and drainage are what decide longevity, not the sun.
Minimum 1/4 inch of fall per foot of patio, sloped away from the house. On larger patios we'll often build in a slightly steeper fall along one axis to direct water toward a specific runoff point — typically a turf border, gravel zone, or French drain. We check the grading against existing yard runoff so the patio doesn't redirect monsoon water into a neighbor's yard or the foundation.
It depends on the city and the scope. A flat at-grade patio usually does not require a permit. Anything with a roof, walls, electrical, gas, or significant grading typically does. We handle the permit research and pull whatever's required for the cities we serve — San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Ahwatukee. You shouldn't have to chase a permit office.
Most residential patios run two to four weeks of on-site work once we break ground, depending on size, material, and weather. Add one to three weeks of lead time before that for design finalization, material order, and any permit. Larger projects with shade structures, lighting, and outdoor kitchens integrated typically run four to eight weeks total on-site.
Yes, and we do this often — many East Valley yards we walk into are a mix of older concrete, partial flagstone, and bare ground. We can extend, overlay, or replace depending on the condition of what's there. Reviews from Abe P., Jim B., and Cyn D. all describe before-and-after transformations of exactly this kind of mixed-surface yard.
Patio pricing varies on material, size, and what comes with it. Stamped concrete is usually the most cost-efficient per square foot, pavers and travertine sit in the middle, and natural flagstone with mortared joints is typically the highest. Rather than quote a range without seeing the yard, we'll walk the site, talk through your budget, and come back with a number you can sign — Edward has a track record of competitive bids against other paver companies in the East Valley.
