Project Overview- John M
Site before Southern Property Services Intervention
At Southern Property Services, we specialize in creating custom patios and pergolas that transform your outdoor living spaces. For this project, the client envisioned a seamless patio installation paired with a pergola to elevate their backyard. Our process began with a detailed consultation to understand the desired functionality, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals. The aim was to create a durable, visually stunning patio as the foundation, with the pergola adding shade and elegance.
The patio was constructed using high-quality materials chosen to complement the existing landscape and architecture of the home. To ensure longevity and low maintenance, we utilized weather-resistant pavers with a carefully designed drainage system. The pergola was custom-built with premium wood, featuring a sleek design that balances style and practicality. It not only provides ample shade but also serves as the perfect framework for climbing plants or outdoor lighting, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance for entertaining or relaxation.
Site Preparation and Improvements
The process began with the site being cleared and leveled to prepare for the patio installation. We followed best practices for laying a strong foundation, starting with a compacted base layer of gravel to promote drainage and stability. A layer of sand was evenly spread to create a smooth surface for placing the pavers, ensuring alignment and precision.
Using high-quality pavers selected to match the client’s preferences, we meticulously laid each one in the desired pattern, adding joint sand between them to lock everything in place. The edges of the patio were secured with paver edging to prevent shifting and ensure longevity.
Once the patio was completed, our team focused on constructing the pergola. High-quality materials, sourced from trusted suppliers, were used to build a sturdy and attractive pergola framework. The posts were anchored securely into the patio, and additional finishes like stain and sealant were applied to match the overall aesthetic. The pergola was positioned to complement the patio layout, providing an ideal balance of sun and shade for outdoor relaxation.
Challenges and Solutions
A slight grade in the backyard required careful planning to ensure proper leveling for the patio. Our team used laser levels and additional grading to create a flat, even surface, while maintaining proper drainage to prevent water pooling. The integration of the pergola into the patio required precise measurements and anchoring to ensure stability and longevity.
Conclusion
The combination of a custom patio and pergola is a lasting investment that adds both beauty and functionality to any outdoor space. After completing the project, we conducted a thorough walkthrough with the client to ensure every detail met their expectations. The result is a durable, stylish patio paired with an elegant pergola, providing the perfect backdrop for hosting gatherings or enjoying tranquil outdoor moments.
