Paver Patios

Olive Branch Landscape Management installs paver patios for homes and businesses in Conway, Faulkner County and the Little Rock metro, from Greenbrier and Vilonia to Maumelle and Sherwood. A paver patio is only as good as what’s under it, and Central Arkansas clay holds water, swells and moves. That’s why so many patios here sink, shift and grow weeds within a few years. We dig to the right depth, compact a crushed stone base in layers, slope every patio so water runs away from your house and lock the joints with polymeric sand. Call (501) 513-7573 for a free estimate.
Here’s what goes into every patio we install, including the parts you’ll never see once it’s done.
We dig out the clay and organic soil, lay geotextile fabric where the ground needs it and compact a crushed stone base in layers. This is what keeps a patio level for years.
Every patio gets a slight, planned slope away from the house. Where water collects, we add channel drains or tie into French drains so heavy spring storms don’t pool on the patio or against your foundation.
Concrete pavers, tumbled pavers or natural stone in a pattern that fits your space and your home. We bring samples to the walkthrough so you can see them in your own light.
A solid edge keeps the pavers from creeping apart, and polymeric sand hardens in the joints to block weeds, ants and washout.

A poured concrete slab costs less up front. But Faulkner County clay expands when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, and slabs crack as the ground moves. Fixing a cracked slab usually means cutting out a whole section. Pavers are individual pieces on a flexible base, so they move with the ground instead of cracking, and a damaged paver can be lifted and replaced in minutes. Pavers also give you far more choice in color, pattern and shape.
Long, hot summers, sudden heavy rain and only a couple of weeks of freezing temperatures a year. We plan every patio for water first, choose pavers rated to hold their color in full sun and build year-round, since the ground here rarely freezes.

A patio can look fine on day one and start sinking by year three. The difference is the base and the drainage. We handle both with our own crew and clean up the site at the end of every day.

In Conway’s older neighborhoods around Hendrix and downtown, we’re usually fitting a patio between mature trees and working around roots and old drainage. In newer subdivisions in Centennial Valley, Greenbrier and Vilonia, it’s often a bare backyard with a small builder slab that we extend or replace. In Maumelle, Sherwood and west Little Rock, sloped lots mean a short retaining wall or steps so the patio can sit level.

For most patios, yes. Arkansas clay expands and shrinks, which cracks concrete slabs. Pavers flex with the ground and can be repaired one paver at a time.
Most patios take 2 to 5 working days once we start, depending on size, slope and access. Adding walls or a fire pit can add a few days.
Yes. The ground rarely freezes in Central Arkansas, so we install patios year-round.
Very few. We fill the joints with polymeric sand, which hardens and resists weeds and ants. Resanding every few years keeps it that way.
Sometimes. If the slab is level and not badly cracked, we can overlay it with thinner pavers. If it’s sinking or broken, removing it and building a proper base lasts longer.
Yes. We install patios within about 30 miles of our Conway office, including Greenbrier, Vilonia, Mayflower, Morrilton, Maumelle, North Little Rock, Sherwood and Little Rock. See our service areas.
Yes. Many of our patios include a fire pit, seating walls or a retaining wall. See our hardscape page for full outdoor living projects.
