Custom Stone & Paver Patios

Why Choose a Custom Patio for Your Home

Your backyard should be more than just grass and a deck. A custom stone or paver patio gives you a beautiful, durable outdoor space for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories with family and friends. Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and need constant maintenance, stone and paver patios last for generations with minimal care.

At KXM Knoxville Masonry, we design and build custom patios throughout Knoxville, TN and the surrounding areas. We work with you to create a patio that fits your style, budget, and how you want to use your outdoor space. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a large entertainment area with room for a grill and fire pit, we bring your vision to life.

We understand the local climate and soil conditions in East Tennessee. We know how to build patios that drain properly during our heavy spring rains and stay level year after year. Our installations are built to last, not just to look good on the day we finish.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Patio

Natural Stone Patios

Natural stone offers timeless beauty that never goes out of style. Flagstone, bluestone, limestone, and slate each bring unique colors and textures to your outdoor space. Natural stone stays cool underfoot in summer and develops a beautiful patina over time. Every stone is unique, so your patio will be one of a kind.

Paver Patios

Pavers come in countless colors, shapes, and patterns. They are manufactured to precise dimensions, which makes them versatile for creating intricate designs, borders, and patterns. Modern pavers are incredibly durable and resist cracking and fading. If a paver ever gets damaged, we can replace just that one piece without disturbing the rest of your patio.

Comparing Your Options

Both natural stone and pavers make excellent patios. Natural stone tends to cost more but offers unmatched natural beauty. Pavers give you more design flexibility and come in at various price points. We help you compare options based on your style preferences, budget, and how you plan to use your patio. There is no wrong choice, just the right choice for you.

Our Custom Patio Design and Installation Process

Every great patio starts with a conversation. We visit your property, look at the space, and talk about how you want to use it. Do you want built-in seating? Room for outdoor furniture? A fire pit or outdoor kitchen? We take measurements, assess drainage and grading, and discuss material options.

Next, we create a design that works with your home's architecture and your landscape. We show you material samples and discuss layout options. You see exactly what your patio will look like before we break ground. We also provide a detailed estimate so you know what to expect.

Installation begins with proper excavation and base preparation. This is the most important part of building a patio that lasts. We excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted gravel base, and ensure proper slope for drainage. A solid foundation prevents settling, sinking, and shifting over time.

Then we install your stone or pavers according to your design. We pay close attention to spacing, alignment, and pattern consistency. For paver patios, we lock everything in place with edge restraints and joint sand. For natural stone, we use the right setting bed and fill the joints properly. Finally, we clean the surface and walk you through care and maintenance. Your new patio is ready to enjoy immediately.
