Lifetime Material Warranty
Homeowners know the struggle: You want to transform your outdoor space into a functional living area, but the wet WA weather turns your backyard into a mud pit for nine months of the year. A standard concrete slab cracks under our soil conditions, and wood decks require constant maintenance to fight rot and moss.
At ND Brick Pavers, we don’t just “install patios.” We engineer outdoor living spaces that stand the test of time. While other patio contractors might slap pavers on top of dirt, we use a "Soil Science First" approach. We analyze your soil and build a deep, compacted base that ensures your investment won't settle or heave.
We do not use subcontractors. Our in-house team of professionals handles every aspect of materials and labor, guaranteeing expertly crafted results and lasting value.
What Happens When Patios Aren't Built with Proper Drainage
Sunken Pavers
Without proper base preparation and drainage, pavers settle unevenly. Repair costs: $3,000-$5,000 to excavate and rebuild.
Water Pooling
Poor drainage creates standing water that breeds mosquitoes, damages furniture, and makes your patio unusable after rain.
Complete Failure
In Northwest Washinton's freeze-thaw climate, inadequate drainage leads to heaving, cracking, and total patio failure within 5-7 years. Full rebuild needed.
We prevent all of this with drainage-first engineering. Every patio we build includes proper drainage infrastructure as standard—not as an upsell.

Why Choose ND Brick Pavers for Patio Installation
Here's what separates us from the competition—and why our patios last decades
Drainage-First Engineering
We include drainage infrastructure as standard ($1,000-$1,500 value). Patios without drainage develop settling issues within 3-5 years.
3D Design Before Build
See your patio in ArcSite 3D before we dig. Make changes digitally (move walkway, enlarge patio, adjust fire pit) at no cost.
Soil Science First
We test your soil's clay content before we dig. We engineer the base depth specifically for your terrain, ensuring the patio survives the wet season without heaving.
Transparent Process
From the initial consultation to the final sweep, you deal directly with us. We prioritize communication and respect your property during the build.
Lifetime Materials Warranty
Lifetime warranty on materials, 10-year warranty on labor. We stand behind our work permanently.

Questions Residents Asked About Custom Patios
How long does patio installation take?
Most patios complete in 5-7 days from start to finish. This includes site prep, base preparation, paver installation, and cleanup. Larger projects (2,000+ sq ft) may take up to 10 days. The speed doesn't sacrifice quality—it reflects our efficient process and dedicated crew. Brent Spain, our partner/estimator, will give you an exact timeline during your free consultation.
What warranty do you provide?
Lifetime warranty on all materials. 10-year builder warranty on craftsmanship. This is backed by our commitment to proper soil assessment, correct installation techniques, and professional-grade drainage design. We stand behind our work because we know how we do it.
What materials do you use for patios
We install clay brick pavers, concrete pavers (Belgard, Unilock, EP Henry), and natural stone. Clay brick offers traditional aesthetics and 100+ year lifespan. Concrete pavers provide modern designs with excellent durability. Natural stone (flagstone, bluestone) offers unique character at premium pricing. We'll show you samples and help you choose the best material for your budget and style.
How can I tell what it will look like before beginning?
We provide a free 3D design rendering using ArcSite software. You'll see exactly how your space will transform: materials, layout, lighting, everything, before we break ground. Transparent pricing. No guesstimates. No surprises.
What should I expect during installation? (Timeline & Process)
We break projects into clear phases so you know what's happening each day. Phase 1: Site prep and excavation.
Phase 2: Base preparation with proper compaction and drainage.
Phase 3: Paver or turf installation.
Phase 4: Finishing touches and cleanup.
Most homeowners can expect daily updates and a completed project within 5-7 days. Brent is available to answer questions throughout the process.
What makes a patio last 30+ years vs. failing in 5 years?
Three factors determine patio longevity: proper base preparation (6-8 inches of compacted gravel), drainage infrastructure (perforated pipe along perimeter), and soil testing (to calculate proper base depth for your soil type). Patios that fail early skip one or more of these steps to cut costs.
What's the best way to maintain my patio or turf?
Low maintenance is the point. For patios: occasional cleaning with a pressure washer (we recommend annually) keeps them looking new. No sealing required unless you choose to. For artificial turf: you can leave it maintenance-free or occasionally rinse debris. For retaining walls: no maintenance needed—the engineering handles everything. For drainage: we design systems so water flows naturally—you don't do anything. Your outdoor space should be something you enjoy, not maintain constantly.
How do I know ND is the right hardscaping contractor near me for my patio?
Three things matter:
Experience (19 years, no subcontractors),
Transparency (free 3D ArcSite design before you commit)
Partnership (Brent Spain is your dedicated POC from estimate to completion, not a call center).
If you want to see your project in 3D before building starts, have someone available to answer questions, and get a lifetime warranty backed by people who do the work themselves, ND is right for you. Schedule a free consultation and see the difference.
