A paver patio or walkway needs to do more than look good on day one. It needs to handle foot traffic, outdoor furniture, the June-through-October rainy season, and the humid coastal heat this stretch of Palm Beach County carries most of the year. Outdoor paver installation this close to the Intracoastal has to account for drainage — standing water on a patio surface is a common problem when base preparation is inadequate. It has to account for the salt-laden air and strong coastal UV that fade and break down certain materials faster than others. And it needs to be stable enough to resist shifting caused by the sandy coastal soil found across much of Lake Worth Beach — the same soil that has to be excavated and compacted before artificial turf goes down.
Beyond durability, a well-designed paver patio or walkway also needs to connect the home to the outdoor environment in a way that feels considered. A patio that is too small for the space it is meant to serve, a walkway that takes an awkward route, or a material that fights the eclectic 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 Lake Worth 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.
