Cottonwood Heights · 1,300 sq ft
1,300 sq ft patio built for canyon runoff in Cottonwood Heights, Utah
A representative 1,300 sq ft build for Cottonwood Heights — what it involves, how long it takes, and what it runs to.

What people are solving for
Usable outdoor room, rather than a lawn you look at. A patio is where the furniture, the table and the evenings actually happen.
How it goes in
Layout and grade are set first, with fall planned away from the structure. Excavation, compacted subgrade, fabric over clay, then base in lifts. Bedding sand is screeded to a consistent depth, pavers are laid and cut to pattern, edge restraint goes on every unsupported edge, and polymeric sand is swept and set.
