Looking to upgrade your outdoor space? At Stoneman Landscaping, we specialize in building stunning paver and stone patios that outperform plain concrete in durability, beauty, and resale value.

Whether you’re imagining a peaceful backyard retreat or a bold outdoor entertaining space, our expert patio installations blend form and function with lasting results across Northern Virginia.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through why pavers are the superior choice, explore creative landscaping add-ons like mulch borders, stone walls, and shrubs, and inspire your next backyard transformation.

Let’s build a space that’s more than just a patio, let’s build something unforgettable.

Why Choose Pavers Over Concrete?

Homeowners across Northern Virginia are ditching plain poured concrete for the timeless charm and resilience of stone and paver patios.

While concrete may seem like a budget-friendly choice up front, it cracks, fades, and often lacks the design flexibility modern homeowners are looking for.

Pavers and natural stone, on the other hand, give you more than a patio, they offer style, structure, and long-term performance.

Here’s why our clients choose pavers again and again:

Built to Last

Paver patios are resistant to cracking, shifting, and weather damage, especially through Northern Virginia’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Individual stones can also be replaced if ever damaged.

Custom Design Flexibility

From circular patterns to contrasting borders, pavers give you full creative control. Choose from countless colors, shapes, and styles to match your home’s aesthetic.

Higher Curb Appeal & ROI

A professionally installed paver patio boosts your home’s value and increases visual appeal. It’s a smart investment that pays off in both beauty and resale.

Design Ideas: Take Your Patio to the Next Level

A patio doesn’t have to end where the pavers stop.

At Stoneman Landscaping, we combine stonework with softscape elements like mulch, shrubs, gravel, and low retaining walls to create a polished, magazine-worthy finish.

These simple touches make a huge difference in how your outdoor space feels and functions.

Here are some of our favorite ways to elevate your patio installation in Northern Virginia:

• Mulch or gravel borders: Create a soft transition from patio to lawn or garden beds. It also helps with water drainage and weed prevention.
• Shrub plantings: Add privacy, color, and seasonal interest. We’ll help you choose shrubs that thrive in Northern Virginia’s soil and sun conditions.
• Stone retaining walls: Frame your patio with seating-height stone walls for built-in functionality and style.
• Grass inlays or accents: Integrate sections of sod or artificial grass between paver zones for a modern, resort-inspired look.

Every property is unique, and we design with your space, slope, and sun in mind.

Our team doesn’t just install patios, we craft outdoor living environments that feel like home.

Why Northern Virginia Homeowners Are Choosing Paver Patios

Northern Virginia’s four-season climate demands more from your outdoor space.

That’s why paver patios are quickly becoming the go-to choice for homeowners looking to invest wisely in their property.

From resisting harsh winters to boosting home value, here’s why they make sense for your home.

Built for Freeze-Thaw Durability

Unlike poured concrete, which is prone to cracking, pavers are individually set and flexible. This makes them far more resilient through seasonal ground shifts and moisture cycles.

Easier Repairs, Lower Long-Term Costs

If a single stone gets chipped or stained, it can be swapped out, no need to tear out the whole slab. That means less hassle and fewer repair costs over time.

Stronger Resale Value

A professionally installed paver patio offers greater visual appeal and stronger ROI compared to basic concrete. Buyers see it as a lifestyle upgrade, not just a surface.

Season-Long Enjoyment

Whether you’re grilling in July or cozying up with a fire pit in October, a paver patio provides a sturdy, level surface for outdoor living all year round.

Add a seating wall or lighting for even more usability and charm.
