Seattle Crushed Stone Patio

Creating a beautiful outdoor space in Seattle can be challenging, especially with the region’s unique weather and soil conditions. A crushed stone patio offers a practical and stylish solution to enhance your outdoor experience. This durable option not only boosts your home’s curb appeal but also provides a safe, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional patios.


Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

When you choose a crushed stone patio, you can expect a comprehensive service that includes:

  • Site Preparation: We clear the area of any debris, grass, or old materials.
  • Base Layer Installation: A solid base layer of compacted gravel is laid down to ensure stability and proper drainage.
  • Stone Selection: You can choose from various types of crushed stone, including granite, limestone, or river rock, depending on your aesthetic preference and budget.
  • Installation: The crushed stone is spread evenly, compacted, and leveled to create a smooth surface.
  • Finishing Touches: We can add edging or borders to define the patio space and keep the stones in place.

Key Benefits

  • Appearance: A crushed stone patio offers a rustic, natural look that blends seamlessly with Seattle’s beautiful landscapes.
  • Durability: Crushed stone is resistant to cracking and shifting, making it a long-lasting option.
  • Safety: The rough texture of crushed stone provides a non-slip surface, reducing the risk of falls.
  • Eco-Friendly: Crushed stone is a sustainable choice, as it is often made from recycled materials and allows rainwater to permeate, reducing runoff.
