Paver patios, walkways and fire pits — laid on a base built to stay flat.
A patio that heaves or settles after one winter was built on the cheap. New View excavates to depth, compacts a real gravel base, and sets pavers with proper edge restraint so the whole thing stays flat.
Walkways tie the property together. Fire pits give the patio a reason to use it after dark. New View builds both as part of the same layout, not an afterthought.
Pavers hold up better than poured concrete against Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles because the joints between individual units let the whole surface flex slightly with ground movement instead of cracking as one rigid slab. Poured concrete can still be the right call for a straightforward, budget-conscious walkway, it's a real tradeoff, not a wrong answer either way, and we'll walk through which fits your project.
Fire pits come in two flavors: a built-in stone or block pit tied into the patio design, or a standalone kit set on its own pad. Built-in pits read as more permanent and usually sit at the center of how the space gets used; kit pits are a lower-cost way to get the same evening use out of a smaller budget.
Pavers generally hold up better long-term against our freeze-thaw winters since the joints flex instead of cracking as one slab. Concrete can still make sense for a simpler, budget-driven walkway. We'll lay out the real tradeoffs for your specific project.
A standard-size patio usually runs a few days once base prep starts, weather permitting. Larger patios or ones tied into a bigger design take longer.
Yes, this comes up often. We work the layout around what's already there rather than requiring a full teardown.
