A patio is more than a slab of stone or concrete — it’s where summer evenings happen, where kids play, where morning coffee gets enjoyed, and where the outdoor version of your life unfolds. A walkway is more than a path from one place to another — it shapes how your property flows and how it feels to move through your yard. At EA Proscapes, we build patios and walkways that deliver on both function and beauty, designed for Longmont properties and built to last through Colorado’s demanding climate.
We’ve been installing hardscape features across the Longmont area for over 20 years. When it comes to patios and walkways, we know what it takes to do the job right the first time.
Material Options for Patios & Walkways
One of the most enjoyable parts of planning a patio or walkway project is choosing materials. There are several excellent options available, each with distinct aesthetic qualities, maintenance considerations, and price points. We work with a wide range of materials and help you find the right fit for your project, your property, and your budget.
Concrete Pavers
Paver patios and walkways are among the most popular choices for Colorado homeowners — and for good reason. Pavers offer design flexibility (available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and patterns), excellent durability, and a significant practical advantage: if a section ever heaves or cracks due to freeze-thaw activity, individual pavers can be removed and replaced without disturbing the entire surface.
Natural Stone
Flagstone, slate, and other natural stone materials create a look that’s warm, organic, and unique. No two flagstone patios look exactly alike. Natural stone works particularly well in Colorado settings where the goal is to complement the surrounding landscape rather than contrast with it.
Concrete
Poured concrete offers a clean, contemporary look and is highly customizable through stamping, coloring, and surface texturing. It’s a cost-effective option for larger areas and, when properly installed with control joints, holds up well in Colorado’s climate.
Decomposed Granite & Gravel
For informal paths and secondary walkways, decomposed granite and gravel offer a naturalistic aesthetic at a lower cost. They’re especially well-suited to xeriscape designs and areas where a more casual feel is appropriate.
What Sets Our Patio & Walkway Installations Apart
Proper Base Preparation
The most common reason patios and walkways fail — heaving, settling, cracking — is inadequate base preparation. A beautiful paver patio installed on an improperly compacted base is going to disappoint. Our installations start with the right depth of compacted gravel base material for the soil conditions and the anticipated traffic, ensuring that the surface above stays level and stable for years.
Drainage Planning
Water management is critical for any hardscape installation, particularly in Colorado where we can receive significant precipitation in a short time. We design patios and walkways with appropriate grading and drainage so water moves away from structures and doesn’t pool on or under the surface.
Precise Layout & Craftsmanship
How a patio or walkway is laid out — the pattern, the edging details, the transitions between materials — determines how it looks and how well it wears. Our crew takes pride in the precision of their work, from the initial layout strings to the final compaction and joint sanding.
Designing Patios & Walkways That Fit Your Yard
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all patio designs. Every patio we build is planned for the specific property, home, and homeowner it’s serving. We consider:
- The size and shape of the available space
- How the patio or walkway will be used
- Traffic patterns between the home, yard, and other features
- The style of the home’s architecture
- Existing landscape elements the design should complement or connect to
- Future additions like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or pergolas that might be incorporated later
The result is a patio or walkway that looks like it was always meant to be there — not something dropped into the yard without much thought.
