Our Paver Patio Services
Custom Patio Design
Our design process begins with a detailed consultation to learn your goals, preferences, and how you plan to use your outdoor space. We then create a fully customized patio layout, choosing the right materials, shapes, and finishes that blend seamlessly with your home and existing landscaping features.
Patio Installation
We manage the full installation process—from excavation and base preparation to precise paver placement and joint sealing. Our team ensures proper grading, compaction, and alignment to deliver a patio that remains level, durable, and weather-resistant, built to last through all seasons with minimal shifting or settling.
Raised or Tiered Patios
We offer raised and multi-level patio solutions ideal for sloped or uneven yards. These designs add dimension, improve accessibility, and create distinct zones for dining, lounging, or fire features. A tiered patio adds architectural interest while maximizing usable space in any outdoor setting.
Paver Walkways and Extensions
Connect your patio to other parts of your property with functional and stylish paver walkways. Whether linking to a garden, driveway, or secondary patio, these extensions provide safe, attractive paths that unify your overall landscape design and improve accessibility across your entire outdoor space.
Fire Pit & Feature Integration
Enhance your patio with integrated features like fire pits, seating walls, and outdoor lighting. These additions boost comfort and usability, especially in the evenings or cooler months. Our feature installations are custom-built to match your patio’s style and enhance your outdoor lifestyle experience.
Paver Repair & Restoration
If your patio shows signs of wear—like sinking pavers, surface staining, or joint deterioration—we offer comprehensive repair and restoration services. We re-level shifted stones, replace damaged areas, and clean surfaces to restore appearance and function without the need for complete reconstruction.
Benefits of Installing a Paver Patio
Long-Lasting Durability
Paver patios are built to endure heavy traffic and extreme weather. Unlike concrete, they flex with freeze-thaw cycles, reducing cracks and structural damage. Their layered base and interlocking design create a resilient surface that remains stable for years with proper installation and maintenance.
Easy Maintenance
Paver patios require minimal upkeep. If a paver cracks or shifts, it can be replaced individually without redoing the entire surface. This modularity ensures long-term beauty and function while simplifying repairs, saving time and cost over poured concrete or other continuous surfaces.
Increased Property Value
A paver patio adds usable outdoor space and elevates curb appeal, increasing your home’s marketability. Well-installed patios are a popular upgrade that often yields strong returns, attracting potential buyers who appreciate quality hardscaping and outdoor living functionality during resale.
Versatile Design Options
Pavers offer unmatched design flexibility. With choices in size, shape, color, and layout, you can create a patio that complements any architectural style. Whether you prefer a rustic look or modern lines, pavers allow for total customization to match your personal taste.
Improved Drainage
Properly installed paver patios feature joint gaps and a base system that allow water to drain naturally. This helps prevent standing water, erosion, and foundation issues. Efficient drainage also extends the lifespan of your patio and surrounding landscaping features.
Environmentally Friendly
Permeable pavers let water seep through, reducing runoff and promoting healthy groundwater recharge. This makes them an eco-conscious solution that helps protect local ecosystems while still delivering strong, attractive, and functional hardscaping in your outdoor living areas.
Laying the Foundation for Your Perfect Patio
At You Betcha Outdoor Services, we know that a patio isn’t just a project, it’s a lasting investment in your lifestyle and your home’s value. That’s why we approach every paver patio with the same attention to detail, professionalism, and regional understanding that has made us a trusted name in Lakeville, Minnesota, and Dakota County for over a decade.
Our patios are designed to handle the realities of Minnesota living: heavy snow, spring thaw, and the occasional backyard gathering that turns into a dance party. We use proven installation techniques and base materials suited for shifting soils, ensuring long-term durability and surface stability even in high-use areas. We also believe that aesthetics matter just as much as strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a paver patio?
Most paver patio projects take 3–7 days, depending on size, design complexity, and site conditions. Weather and permitting can also impact timelines, but we provide clear schedules upfront and stick to them as closely as possible.
What type of pavers do you recommend?
We recommend pavers based on your design goals and site conditions. Concrete, brick, and natural stone are popular options, each with different benefits in terms of appearance, durability, and cost. Our team helps you select the right material for your project.
Do paver patios require sealing?
Sealing is optional but recommended. It helps protect against staining, color fading, and weed growth. Sealants can also enhance the pavers’ color and improve surface durability. We offer sealing as part of our patio installation or as a follow-up service.
Can you add lighting to my patio?
Yes, we can integrate low-voltage or solar lighting into your patio design. Lighting enhances safety, ambiance, and usability at night. Popular choices include embedded path lights, wall-mounted fixtures, and uplighting for features like fire pits or seating areas.
Will my patio shift or sink over time?
A properly installed patio with a stable base will resist sinking and shifting. We take local soil movement into account and use compacted gravel bases, edge restraints, and professional techniques to ensure long-lasting results—even in freeze-thaw climates.
How do I maintain my paver patio?
Maintenance is simple. Sweep regularly, remove debris, and rinse with water as needed. Resanding joints every few years and occasional sealing help preserve appearance and structural integrity. We also offer professional maintenance packages for ongoing care.
Are paver patios better than concrete patios?
Pavers offer more design flexibility, better drainage, and easier repair than poured concrete. They also resist cracking during freeze-thaw cycles, making them ideal for Minnesota’s climate. Their modular nature allows for easier updates and feature additions over time.
Do I need a permit to build a patio?
Permitting requirements vary by city and project size. In most cases, simple ground-level patios do not require a permit, but raised patios or those with retaining walls may. We handle all permitting needs during the planning process to ensure compliance.

Testimonials
We had spoken to several people about quotes for new sod and Brandon from You Betcha Outdoor Services was extremely responsive and gave us a very fair price. Brandon gave us timeline and not only met it but was done earlier than quoted. The job was done professionally and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend You Betcha Outdoor Services and will be using them again for our next job.

Brandon and his team were very helpful in designing and follow through on my entire project. Very happy with my annual garden refresh, new steppers installed and a small water feature to finish out our existing patio. He was even able to make a last minute addition of 20 trees to our empty extra lot. Very respectful crew. My family and I really appreciate that.
