Low-voltage path and patio lighting plus French drains, surface drains, and dry wells — the unsexy details that make a patio finished and functional.
These are the parts of a patio nobody photographs — and the ones you'll be glad we did right. Lighting makes the patio usable after dark and dramatically increases perceived quality. Drainage keeps the base from saturating and the patio from heaving.
We integrate both into every patio build. Lighting and drainage planning happen during design, run through the same trenching, and get tested before final cleanup.
Energy-efficient, easy to add or modify, code-friendly. Standard for residential.
