A patio should feel comfortable underfoot and settle naturally into the rest of the yard. We consider layout, surface choice, base preparation and drainage.
THE WORK
Paver patio excavation, base preparation and installation
The property assessment brings the areas, materials and access together into a clear proposal.
Paver installation and edge details
Paving, borders and transitions selected to suit the house and surrounding landscape.
Excavation, base and compaction
The excavation, aggregate base, compaction and edges behind the finished surface.
Start with what you want to change.
A new gathering space
Start with the people and furniture the patio needs to accommodate. A dining area, a quiet seat and a route through the yard have different space requirements. Planning them together helps avoid a patio that looks generous but is awkward to use.
Replace an existing patio
Share what is no longer working: uneven paving, an unsuitable layout or a finish you want to change. Reviewing the existing base and grades helps determine what can be retained and what should be rebuilt before new pavers are installed.
Begin with how the space will be used
A dining table, fire feature and route to the lawn each need different clearances. Before choosing a paver colour, we lay out the usable area, the transitions at doors and steps, and where water will go. An attractive patio that is too small for the intended furniture or slopes toward the house will not feel like a successful project. Material samples help, but a site plan and finished elevations are the real starting point.
The base carries the project
Unilock’s installation guidance emphasizes preparing the subsoil, selecting a suitable base system, bedding the pavers and restraining exposed edges. The right detail depends on soil, use and drainage. We identify excavation depth and disposal, the base material, compaction, edge treatment and joint material in the scope. The surface should be intentionally graded rather than described as perfectly flat. These decisions are largely hidden after construction, yet they govern how the patio performs.
Finish the transitions
Where the patio meets lawn, a fence, garden bed or existing concrete, small elevation differences become obvious. Cuts around corners and drains should feel planned. Jointing products have their own installation conditions and care instructions; they are not a substitute for a sound base. We also discuss access for machinery and material, protection of adjacent areas, and any restoration after construction. A customer should know what happens to existing soil, plants or an old patio before the first day of work.
A USEFUL QUOTE STARTS HERE
What shapes your paver patio excavation quote.
Compare patio quotes by the work beneath the pavers as well as the selected finish. Area, access, excavation, disposal, base preparation, borders and cuts all influence the project. A smaller patio with difficult access can involve more preparation than its size suggests. We identify the proposed layout and materials so you can assess the complete installation.
Pricing is quoted for the property. Size, site conditions, access, materials and the agreed work affect the total. Scope or material changes may change the price; the quote confirms inclusions, disposal and applicable GST before work begins.

For an existing patio, distinguish isolated uneven areas from a layout or base problem. That determines whether repair or replacement is worth assessing.
Can an old patio be repaired instead of replaced?
We can review it. Photos of the whole patio, uneven areas and its edges help establish whether a defined repair is practical or a wider rebuild should be considered.
Can the patio be built with other landscaping?
Yes. Sod, planting, paths and curbing can be discussed together, with the selected work identified in the proposal.
