Paver Patios Built for Minnesota Living

☎ (612) 214-1955 Free Estimates

A paver patio is the foundation of every great outdoor space. Three Timbers installs custom paver patios across Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Excelsior, Waconia, Chaska, Mound, and Victoria--designed to handle Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles while looking sharp season after season.

Unlike poured concrete that cracks, interlocking pavers flex with ground movement and can be individually replaced if ever damaged. Our team builds patios that drain properly, stay level, and turn backyards into functional outdoor rooms for grilling, entertaining, and relaxing from spring through fall.

What You Need to Know About Paver Patios

Design Consultation

Every patio project begins with an on-site consultation where we discuss how you want to use the space. A small dining patio has different requirements than a large entertainment area with a fire pit and seat walls. We measure the site, evaluate drainage and grade, and design a layout that fits your property and lifestyle. You will see a scaled plan with paver patterns, border details, and any integrated features before we break ground.

Paver Selection

We install pavers from Belgard, Techo-Bloc, Borgert, and other manufacturers proven in cold climates. Options include classic brick-style pavers, large-format slabs, tumbled stone looks, and permeable pavers for properties with drainage requirements. Thickness matters in Minnesota--we use 2 3/8″ or thicker pavers rated for vehicular traffic on driveways and standard thickness for patios. Colors range from warm earth tones to cool grays, with blended options that hide minor staining over time.

Pricing

Paver patio costs depend on square footage, paver material, pattern complexity, and site conditions. A straightforward rectangular patio with standard pavers is the most affordable option. Curved layouts, inlay patterns, step-ups, and integrated features like seat walls or fire pits add to the investment. We provide transparent, line-item estimates covering excavation, base material, edge restraint, pavers, polymeric sand, and labor so there are no surprises.

Installation

Our installation process is what makes the difference between a patio that lasts and one that settles and shifts. We excavate 8 to 12 inches deep depending on soil conditions, install geotextile fabric to prevent soil migration, and build up a compacted Class 5 gravel base in lifts. A 1-inch screeded sand layer provides the final setting bed. Pavers are laid in the chosen pattern with consistent joint spacing, cut precisely at edges with a wet saw, and locked in with a soldier course border and aluminum edge restraint. Polymeric sand fills the joints to prevent weed growth and ant intrusion.

Quality You Can See and Feel

We build patios we would want in our own backyards. That means no shortcuts on base depth, no skipping the edge restraint, and no rushing the compaction. Every patio we install gets the same attention to detail whether it is 200 square feet or 2,000. Our crew keeps your property clean during construction, communicates daily progress, and does a final walk-through with you to make sure every detail is right before we call the job done.

The crew at Three Timbers was great! We needed to buy a lot of plants, shrubs and trees for a remodel and they were professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They were also affordable compared to what we were able to find at the nurseries, and their plants were in great condition. We were very pleased with our experience and plan to use them again in the future.

I finally decided I was done taking days every fall to rake my yard and clean up the garden. I contacted Three Timbers, got a quick quote, asked some questions, received quick replies and booked them. This week they came, worked hard and cleaned up my yard - far better than I would have. I've also contracted with them for spring clean up and am glad I did. Highly recommended.

Three Timbers was highly recommended by my sister. We are very happy with the service provided by Three Timbers! The team is great to work with and very responsive to all questions. They are very professional and provided clear communication. They installed French drainages to my backyard. They cleaned up all the debris and very well organized when they were laying the sod. Very outstanding job! Thank you so much!

Paver Patio Styles We Build

Traditional Brick Patterns

Herringbone, basketweave, and running bond layouts using standard-sized rectangular pavers. These classic patterns offer timeless appeal, excellent interlock strength, and work with virtually any home style. Herringbone is the strongest pattern for high-traffic areas and is our most popular recommendation.

Large-Format Slab Patios

Oversized pavers (typically 18″x18″ or larger) create a clean, modern look with fewer joints. Large-format slabs work well for contemporary homes and open entertaining spaces. They require a more precise base but deliver a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that photographs beautifully.

Tumbled and Antiqued Patios

Tumbled pavers with softened edges and varied surface textures create a natural, aged look that suits lake homes, cottage-style properties, and rustic landscapes. These pavers blend seamlessly with natural stone features like boulder walls and flagstone steps.

Permeable Paver Systems

Permeable pavers allow rainwater to drain through the joints into a gravel reservoir below, reducing runoff and helping meet stormwater management requirements. They are increasingly popular on Lake Minnetonka-area properties where managing water flow protects both the landscape and the shoreline.

Small to Mid Budget

Wood timber retaining walls are slightly more expensive than blocks but have a straightforward installation that helps meet lower budgets.

Mid to Large Budget

Boulder walls require a team of experts, costly materials, and heavy equipment. These installations are intense, but offer long-lasting durability.

Large Budget

Dry stacked stone retaining walls have the highest material and labor costs. While these are the most expensive, they look absolutely stunning and are highly recommended for homeowners looking for a decorative statement piece to bring the landscape together.
