A paver patio or walkway needs to do more than look good on day one. It has to handle foot traffic, outdoor furniture, Delray Beach's heavy rain events, and the heat that Palm Beach County delivers most of the year. Outdoor paver installation in this coastal climate has to account for drainage — standing water on a patio surface is a common problem when the base is not prepared adequately. It has to account for the sun and salt air that fade and break down certain materials faster than others. And it needs to be stable enough to resist the shifting caused by the sandy soil common throughout Delray Beach.
Beyond durability, a well-designed paver patio or walkway also has to connect the home to the outdoor environment in a way that feels considered. A patio too small for the space it is meant to serve, a walkway that takes an awkward route, or a material that fights the style of the home all reduce the value of the installation — regardless of how well the pavers themselves are laid.
Patios Pools Driveways Inc. approaches every Delray Beach patio and walkway project with both priorities in mind. The installation is built to last, and the design is tailored to the home and property it serves.
