SUMMERWOOD, TEXAS — PAVER PATIOS
Paver Patios in Summerwood, TX
a paver patio is a patio made of individual pavers set on a compacted base, and its big advantage in the Lake Houston area is that the pavers can be re-levelled when the clay underneath moves. Poured concrete cannot do that — when it cracks, it cracks.

Summerwood: what is different here
Summerwood paver patios are pool-deck and outdoor-living patios. Large-lot lakeside homes have big patios and pool decks, and those surfaces take the most use and the most water — splash from the pool, rain off the roof, runoff from the driveway. Pavers suit that job: they drain at the joints, they can be re-levelled when the clay underneath moves, and a stained or settled section can be fixed without tearing out the whole deck. A paver patio around a pool also stays cooler and grippier underfoot than a single poured slab. We build the base for the clay, grade the patio so water runs away from the house and the pool, and tie the patio into the drainage plan for the lot.
What we do
- Paver patios — patios built from concrete pavers, sized for how you use the yard and graded so water runs away from the house.
- Paver walkways — paths that stay level and drain, tying the driveway, the door, and the back yard together.
- Paver driveways — driveways built on a base that handles clay movement and heavy use.
- Pool decks and outdoor living — pavers around pools and patios, where drainage and a level surface matter most.
- Re-levelling and repair — individual pavers can be lifted, the base fixed, and the pavers put back. That is the advantage over poured concrete.
Pavers vs. poured concrete on clay
The choice comes down to what happens when the clay moves, and in this area the clay always moves. Houston-area clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry. A poured concrete slab is one piece: when the ground underneath shifts unevenly, the slab cracks, and the fix is a new slab. Pavers are individual pieces on a compacted base: when the ground shifts, individual pavers can be lifted, the base corrected, and the pavers reset. That is not a small difference on a patio you plan to keep for decades. Pavers also drain better at the joints, and they can be laid in patterns that fit the house. Read our concrete page for the poured-concrete side of the comparison, and talk to us about which one fits your lot.

Frequently asked questions
Are pavers good around a Summerwood pool?
Yes. Pavers drain at the joints, they can be re-levelled when the clay moves, and a section can be repaired without tearing out the whole deck. They are a strong choice for a pool deck on a large lakeside lot.
What pavers hold up best in Houston heat?
Concrete pavers are the workhorse here: they handle heat, they are widely available, and they can be re-levelled. Travertine is another option, with a different look and feel. We will talk through what fits your patio and how you use it, not just the catalog.
Why are my pavers sinking?
Because the base underneath settled or the clay moved. Water pooling under the pavers is usually part of it. The fix is to lift the pavers, correct the base and the drainage, and reset them.
How often do pavers need to be sealed?
It depends on the paver and the use, but sealing every few years keeps the color and keeps the joint sand in place. We will tell you what your patio needs when we build it.
