How does patio and hardscaping work in Portland?
Patio and Hardscaping in Portland follows 4 clear steps, from design and layout to a final walkthrough. A vetted local pro manages the schedule, keeps the site clean, and does not consider the job done until you are satisfied.
Design and layout
We design the patio footprint, select materials to match your home and landscape, and mark the layout for your approval before excavation.
Excavate and base
We excavate to proper depth, install compacted gravel base in lifts, and set edging restraints to prevent future migration of the paver field.
Bedding and laying
A sand bedding layer is screeded level and pavers are laid in your chosen pattern, cut to fit at borders.
Compact and sand
The installed surface is plate-compacted, joint sand is swept in and compacted again, then sealed if desired.

Patio and Hardscaping in Portland: questions answered.
How much does patio and hardscaping cost in Portland?
In Portland, patio and hardscaping typically runs based on scope and materials. Pro House Maintenance gives every Portland homeowner a free, fixed-price written quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
How does a paver patio compare to a concrete patio?
Pavers cost more upfront but individual units can be reset if settling occurs, they're more aesthetically varied, and the permeable joints help with drainage. Concrete is lower cost initially but cracks over time and is difficult to repair without visible patching.
How long does a paver patio installation take?
A standard 400-square-foot patio typically takes three to four days from excavation through final sand compaction and sealing. Larger projects that include retaining walls, steps, or outdoor kitchen pads take one to two weeks depending on material and complexity. Base and bedding layers require time between compaction stages, which we account for in the schedule included with your written quote.
