Turn the idea into a plan
Maybe you want a table and chairs where the patchy grass is now. Maybe it is something bigger: a fire pit, a seat wall or steps down from the deck. It is easy to picture; planning it is the harder part. Here is where to start.
Start with these questions
Before browsing pavers, decide what the patio needs to do.
- How many people will you seat?
- Does a slope call for a retaining wall?
- Is a fire pit part of the plan now or later?
Sort it out on paper first
Each answer changes the layout, materials and cost, and they are easier to settle on paper than after the digging starts. Our design team can work through layout, materials and quantities with you.
Choosing pavers and the rest of the materials
Pavers are only one part of the project. Your design might call for walls and caps for seat walls, raised planters or retaining walls on a sloped yard, and bulk stone or gravel to tie everything together. That is why seeing materials in person beats judging colors on a monitor.
Compare in the showroom
Our showroom in Dayton, a short drive from Springboro, lays materials out where you can touch them. Compare pavers, wall products, composite decking samples and bulk materials side by side, and ask the team questions on the spot.
DIY or bring in a builder
If you are doing it yourself, we can supply the materials and help with quantities: base aggregate, bedding sand, pavers, edging and joint sand. If you would rather not spend weekends with a plate compactor, we can help connect you with trusted local builders and coordinate next steps. If you already have a builder, we can work with their materials list.
Think about what goes around the patio before you build: lighting, plantings, shade or a future fire pit. You do not have to do it all now, but planning ahead avoids lifting pavers later to run a line you forgot. Visit the showroom at 9125 State Route 48 in Dayton, call (937) 885-1948 or email office@patio-supply.com. We are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
