Outdoor & paver patios in Mays Landing.
Paver patios and outdoor builds are a busy line in Mays Landing — backyards in the developments off Route 40 are big enough for real outdoor living spaces, and the older homes near Lake Lenape often have lakefront yards that justify a serious build. The recurring detail that fails on outdoor work here is drainage: the soil in parts of Mays Landing holds water, and a paver patio with a thin base will heave by year three. We dig deep enough, compact properly, and grade away from the house, every time. Pergolas anchored to footings, not just bolted to a deck. Fences with posts to frost depth. Boring details, big difference in lifespan.
Our shop sits in Mays Landing — most of our trucks roll out of here every morning. Historic crossroads town: 1800s farmhouses near the lake, mid-century ranches on Cates Road, newer developments off Route 40. Township ZIP: 08330. Free walkthroughs same-week, written estimates the next business day.
What we build in the yard
Outdoor builds fail in two places: drainage and base prep. We don't skip either.
- 01
Paver patios
Belgard, Cambridge, Techo-Bloc. Proper sub-base depth, polymeric sand joints, edge restraints. Sealed when you want them.
- 02
Pergolas
Cedar, fir, or composite-wrapped. Anchored to concrete footings, not just to the patio.
- 03
Fire pits & features
Wood-burning or gas, brick or stone surround. Code-distance from house and trees.
- 04
Fencing
Vinyl, aluminum, cedar, chain-link. Footings to frost depth, gates that swing for years.
- 05
Screen rooms
Existing patio enclosed with proper headers, screen walls, and a real roof.
- 06
Drainage & grading
French drains, dry wells, regrading away from the house. The unsexy stuff that prevents basement floods.
From the first call to the punch list.
Every project goes through these four phases. We don't skip steps.

Outdoor & paver patios in Mays Landing — questions we hear.
-
You're based in Mays Landing — does that mean lower travel charges for jobs in town?
Yes, Mays Landing jobs don't carry any travel time at all — our shop is here. For larger projects (kitchens, additions) the cost wouldn't change anyway, but for small repair calls and emergency response, being in-town means we're usually there within an hour. We've also worked with Hamilton Township's building department on enough permits that we know the inspectors by name, which helps move smaller projects through quickly.
-
How thick should the paver base be?
6 inches of compacted aggregate for a patio, 8+ for a driveway. We don't skim this; that's how patios end up wavy after one winter.
-
Do I need a permit for a patio?
Most NJ townships, no — patios are usually under the threshold. Pergolas, fences over a certain height, and anything attached to the house, yes. We check before we dig.
-
Can you tie a paver patio into an existing deck?
Yes — we step it down properly so water flows away, and we transition cleanly so it looks intentional, not improvised.
-
How do you handle drainage?
Patios are pitched away from the house at a quarter inch per foot, minimum. If there's standing water in the yard now, we add drainage to the scope before we ever lay a paver.
