Calgary's High-Quality Paver Patio Contractors
Clover designs and builds high-quality paver patios across Calgary. We follow proven installation methods and the manufacturer’s specifications on every job, and we back our work with one of the strongest craftsmanship warranties around. Every patio is built to suit your space and the way you want to use it. After decades in masonry and hardscaping, we’ve earned a reputation as a contractor Calgarians can count on.
Why Pavers?
Why Choose Paving Stones Over Concrete?
At Clover, we always recommend paving stones (also known as engineered stone) over traditional poured concrete for your patio for three key reasons:
Durability & Longevity in Alberta
Poured concrete tends to crack as Calgary’s ground freezes and thaws, and those cracks get expensive to fix. Pavers move with the ground instead of fighting it, so they hold up far better over the years.
Simple & Affordable Repairs
If a section ever settles, we can lift the individual pavers, re-level the base, and reset the same stones for very little cost. Concrete doesn’t give you that option; a damaged slab usually has to be torn out and repoured.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Plain concrete surfaces can look flat and tend to fade. Pavers come in a wide range of colors, textures, and border patterns, so you get a custom look that adds real value to your home.

Installation Quality
What's under your Patio?
We build patios to last by following industry best practices and manufacturer installation standards. The excavation depth and aggregate base are determined individually for each project based on site conditions, soil composition, and the intended use of the patio. The base is carefully levelled and compacted using water and professional compaction equipment before a precision screed layer of 10mm limestone fines is installed. We then lay the paving stones, secure the perimeter with snap edging, and finish by filling the joints with G2 polymeric sand to create a durable, stable, and polished finished product.
Precision Grading
When we visit for your free consultation, we take precise grade and area measurements using advanced tools like altimeters and laser levels, combined with our decades of expertise. Proper grading is the most critical step in building a patio that is durable, functional, and ensures proper water runoff.
Understanding your property’s elevation and grading is essential for a successful patio installation. As trusted patio installers near you, we carefully determine the starting height and incorporate a slight pitch (or drop) for water drainage. Our standard grading practice includes a 1.5” drop every 10 feet, sloping away from your home. This ensures effective runoff without creating a sloped or uneven sitting area.
With our precision approach, you’ll get a patio that not only looks great but also lasts for years to come.
Excavation & Base Preparation
Once the proper grades have been established, excavation begins. Using precise surveyed measurements, we excavate to the depth required for the specific project and site conditions, creating a stable foundation for the patio. All excavated soil and clay are removed from the property and disposed of at an approved facility.
After excavation, our team performs a final grade verification using professional surveying equipment to ensure the correct elevations and drainage have been achieved. The exposed subgrade is then thoroughly compacted to create a solid foundation, minimizing the risk of future settling and promoting long-term stability.
This meticulous excavation and base preparation process provides the foundation for a durable, professionally built patio designed to perform for years to come.
Installing & Compacting Sub-base
We start by layering and compacting road crush every 2 inches to create a solid, stable foundation. For most residential patios and walkways, we use recycled crushed aggregate as the sub-base.
Once the proper sub-base depth is achieved, we add a 10mm layer of rundle fines to perfect the levelling process. The rundle is spread, compacted, and screeded to a smooth, even finish—verified with precision landscape levels and altimeters. Since most pavers have a 1/16-inch variability, this process ensures the final patio surface is perfectly level, with seamless alignment between pavers.

Please note that our 3-year warranty does not cover woodwork installations, including but not limited to:
- Wooden fences and fence posts
- Decks and deck structures
- Pergolas and wooden arbors
Wood is a natural material that responds to seasonal changes in temperature and moisture. As a result, wooden structures may experience natural warping, expansion, and contraction over time. While we use quality materials and proper installation techniques, these natural characteristics of wood make it unsuitable for inclusion in our standard warranty coverage.
For questions about the care and maintenance of wooden structures, or to discuss warranty coverage for other landscaping services, please contact our team.
