Paver Patio Installation
A well-designed paver patio doesn't just add square footage to your backyard, it transforms how you live outdoors. At B&F Landscaping, we design and install custom paver patios for homeowners across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, and the surrounding areas.
Every project starts with a 3D design rendering so you can see exactly what your finished patio will look like before a single stone is placed. As Unilock-certified installers, we use premium materials built to handle Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles and look great for decades.
Whether you're envisioning a simple entertaining space or a full outdoor living area with a built-in fire pit and outdoor kitchen, we bring the expertise to make it happen — on time, on budget, and built to last.
What's Included
Full-service patio installation, start to finish
No subcontractors. No surprises. We handle every phase in-house, from the initial design all the way through final cleanup.
Base Installation
We install a compacted aggregate base layer to the correct depth for Indiana's climate. This base is what keeps pavers stable through the freeze-thaw cycles that cause cheaper installations to heave and crack within a few seasons.
3D Design Rendering
Before we break ground, you'll see a photorealistic 3D rendering of your finished patio. This lets you visualize materials, layout, and how the space connects to your home and make changes before anything is built. It's one of the biggest reasons our clients feel confident throughout the process.
Edging, Jointing, and Sealing
We secure perimeter edging to prevent spreading, fill joints with polymeric sand to lock pavers in place and resist weeds, and offer professional sealing to protect your investment and enhance color.
Site Preparation and Grading
A paver patio is only as good as what's underneath it. We excavate and grade the site to ensure proper drainage and a level base, preventing settling, shifting, and pooling water over time. This step is where corners get cut by less experienced contractors — we never skip it.
Paver Selection and Installation
We work with a wide range of Unilock paver styles, colors, and patterns — from classic herringbone and running bond to more intricate designs. Our team will help you choose materials that complement your home's architecture and your personal style.
Add-On Features
Most of our patio projects are part of a larger outdoor living space. We can integrate your patio with:
- Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces

“We highly recommend B&F Landscaping services !!! Fantastic customer service. Listened to our plans and completed our specific landscaping requests. Francisco and his crew worked the landscaping project professionally with extraordinary attention to detail!
Our project included removal of trees and shrubs and boulder rocks, installation of sod, hardscape including sidewalks, landscape rocks and mulch, concrete drain, planting of bushes and trees, bury downspouts.
It was an extensive and detailed job, however Francisco was on point and did not miss the small or important details. He was very knowledgeable, accessible, professional, and patient with his communication throughout the process. We appreciate the level of service and product and expertise. This company is clearly dedicated to the customer and to professional workmanship.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We offer a range of solutions designed to meet your needs—whether you're just getting started or scaling something bigger. Everything is tailored to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
-
Most residential paver patio projects take 3–7 days to complete once work begins, depending on size and complexity. The timeline from initial consultation to project start varies by season — spring and summer are our busiest periods, so booking early is recommended.
-
When properly installed with a correct aggregate base, paver patios can last 25–50 years or more. Unilock pavers are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged without disturbing the rest of the patio — a major advantage over poured concrete.
-
Minimal maintenance is needed. We recommend resealing every 3–5 years to protect color and repel stains. Occasionally, polymeric sand in the joints may need to be reapplied. Beyond that, occasional sweeping and rinsing is all that's required.
-
We typically install patios from early spring through late fall. Cold ground and frozen conditions affect base compaction and can compromise installation quality, so we pause installation work during the winter months. However, winter is a great time to plan and design your project so you're first in line when the season opens up.
-
Permit requirements vary by municipality. In most cases, ground-level paver patios do not require a permit in the Indianapolis area, but we verify requirements for your specific city or township before starting any project.
-
Both are attractive options, but pavers offer several advantages: individual pavers can be replaced if cracked or stained, they handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete, and they maintain their color longer without fading. Stamped concrete can crack over time and repairs are more difficult to make invisibly.
