Flagstone Patios & Sidewalks

If you're dreaming of a stunning flagstone patio or sidewalk that adds natural charm and elegance to your home, you're in the right place. At Escalante Flatwork, we specialize in creating timeless outdoor spaces with flagstone—designed to blend beauty, durability, and functionality. Whether you're aiming for a rustic garden walkway or an upscale entertainment space, we work with you to create a design that suits your style and budget.

Flagstone offers a one-of-a-kind look thanks to its natural variation in color, shape, and texture. It’s a great way to make your property stand out while adding value and curb appeal.

We offer two main installation methods, each with its own advantages depending on your budget, usage, and aesthetic goals:

1. Dry-Laid Flagstone – A Flexible and Cost-Effective Option

Dry-lay flagstone is a popular choice for homeowners looking for a natural and budget-friendly option with minimal maintenance. This method is ideal for walkways, garden paths, and patios where slight movement over time won’t affect the overall structure.

Our Dry-Lay Installation Process:

Excavation and Base Prep: We excavate the area and install 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material (gravel or road base) to ensure proper drainage and stability.
Bedding Sand Layer: A 1-inch layer of sharp sand is added and leveled to create a smooth setting surface.
Flagstone Placement: We carefully lay each flagstone piece by hand, fitting them together like a puzzle for a natural, seamless look.
Joint Filling: Once laid, we broom polymeric sand into the joints to lock the stones in place and prevent weed growth or shifting. We then lightly mist the surface to activate the polymeric sand.

Benefits:

Cost-effective
Good drainage
Natural movement flexibility
Easy to repair individual stones

2. Wet-Laid (Mortared) Flagstone – Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance

If you're looking for a more permanent, durable, and upscale solution, our wet-laid method is the way to go. This option is perfect for high-traffic areas or homeowners who want a polished, stable finish with long-term performance.

Our Wet-Lay Installation Process:

Concrete Base: We pour a 3 to 4-inch concrete slab to serve as a stable and permanent base.
Flagstone Setting: Each piece of flagstone is set into a mortar bed directly on top of the slab, ensuring maximum adhesion and a level surface.
Grouting: Joints between the stones are grouted with cement mortar, providing a finished look that is resistant to erosion, weeds, and shifting.

Benefits:

Very durable and low-maintenance
Ideal for patios, steps, or walkways in high-traffic areas
Clean, high-end appearance
Long-term investment

Paver Patios & Walkways: A Premium Touch

If you're looking for a high-end, long-lasting solution with timeless beauty, pavers are an excellent choice. Our paver patios and sidewalks are built with durability and precision in mind, using a proven installation method to ensure your project stands the test of time.

Here’s our step-by-step paver installation process:

Excavation and Base Prep
We begin by excavating the area to the appropriate depth and install 4–6 inches of compacted base material (typically crushed gravel or road base). Using a plate compactor, we ensure the base is extremely well-compacted for stability and drainage.
Sand Layer
On top of the compacted base, we apply a 1-inch bedding layer of sharp sand, screeded evenly to provide a smooth surface for the pavers.
Paver Installation
We carefully lay your chosen pavers in the desired pattern, ensuring tight, consistent joints and a clean layout.
Edge Restraints
To lock the structure in place, we cement all perimeter pavers, creating a solid border that prevents shifting over time.
Joint Sanding & Sealing
Once the pavers are in place, we broom polymeric sand into the joints, which helps bind the pavers and prevent weed growth. We then lightly mist the surface with water to activate the polymeric sand and lock everything in place.

The result is a stunning, low-maintenance outdoor surface that adds both curb appeal and functionality to your home or business.

Concrete Slabs & Pads

Whether you’re installing a new hot tub in your backyard or need a durable garage slab, Escalante Flatwork has the experience and expertise to deliver concrete pads that are built to last. These types of installations require careful planning, precise execution, and structural integrity—and we’re here to get it right the first time.

Hot Tub Pads – A Strong Foundation for Relaxation

A hot tub is a significant investment, and it’s essential to ensure it sits on a solid, level, and reliable foundation. We specialize in pouring custom concrete pads for hot tubs, designed to handle the weight and provide a safe, stable base.

Our standard hot tub pad specifications:

Concrete Mix: 4,000 PSI strength to support the heavy, concentrated load of a filled hot tub
Reinforcement: #4 rebar installed in a grid pattern for structural integrity
Slab Thickness: Minimum 6 inches thick to prevent settling or cracking
Finish: Clean broom finish for slip resistance and durability
Size Recommendation: We suggest pouring a pad that extends at least 2–3 feet beyond the hot tub dimensions on all sides. This provides extra space for steps, storage, or simply setting down towels and supplies.

With our attention to detail and understanding of load requirements, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your hot tub is supported by a pad that meets both manufacturer and safety standards.

Concrete Garage Slabs – Engineered for Everyday Use

Your garage slab needs to be tough enough to handle daily use, from parked vehicles to heavy equipment and seasonal temperature changes. At Escalante Flatwork, we construct garage slabs that combine strength, precision, and long-term durability.

Our garage slab construction standards include:

Concrete Mix: 4,000 PSI strength with added fiber reinforcement for increased tensile strength and crack resistance
Slab Thickness: 6 inches thick to support the weight of vehicles, tool benches, and stored items
Reinforcement: Choice of #4 rebar or welded wire mesh to reinforce the slab and reduce movement over time
Finish: Smooth-troweled finish for a clean, professional look that’s easy to sweep or coat with epoxy

We ensure your garage pad is properly graded, leveled, and cured for maximum durability and performance. Whether it's for a single-car garage or a full workshop, we tailor each pour to your exact specifications.

Paver Driveways, Patios, & Sidewalks

When it comes to using pavers for driveways, patios, and sidewalks, Escalante Flatwork brings years of hands-on experience and craftsmanship to every project. We've worked with nearly every style and layout imaginable, and we’re here to guide you through the entire process—from design and planning to installation and final touches.

Whether you're aiming for curb appeal, a relaxing backyard space, or a welcoming path, pavers are a durable and visually appealing solution. Unlike poured concrete, pavers offer the flexibility to create intricate patterns, varied color schemes, and easy repairs down the road.

Paver Driveways – Strength Meets Style

Paver driveways are not only visually striking—they're incredibly strong and built to handle the weight and wear of daily vehicle traffic. Proper base preparation and precise installation are key to long-lasting results, and that’s where we come in.

Here’s how we build a paver driveway that’s made to last:

Recommended Installation Process:

Excavation: We begin by excavating the driveway area to accommodate all layers of material—typically 12–15 inches below finished grade.
Base Material: We install 8–12 inches of compacted base material (usually crushed gravel or road base), compacted in 3-inch layers using a heavy-duty plate compactor for maximum density and stability.
Bedding Sand: A 1-inch layer of bedding sand is screeded over the base to ensure a level surface for laying the pavers.
Paver Installation: We carefully lay your selected pavers in the desired pattern, ensuring tight joints and clean lines throughout.
Edge Restraints: To prevent shifting, we cement all perimeter pavers, locking the edges in place for long-term durability.
Joint Stabilization: We broom polymeric sand into the joints, then lightly mist the surface with water to activate the sand. This hardens the joints, prevents weed growth, and keeps the pavers locked together.

The result? A stunning driveway with exceptional load-bearing capacity, aesthetic charm, and long-term value.

Paver Patios & Sidewalks – Elegant Outdoor Living

Whether you’re building a relaxing backyard patio or a winding garden path, paver patios and sidewalks offer timeless beauty and unmatched design flexibility. With options ranging from modern sleek styles to rustic cobblestone textures, pavers allow you to personalize your outdoor space to match your vision.

Patio & Sidewalk Installation Process:

Excavation: We excavate to allow for a solid base, depending on use and ground conditions.
Base Preparation: We install 4–6 inches of compacted base material, using a plate compactor to ensure proper density and support.
Sand Bedding: A 1-inch layer of bedding sand is added and leveled to create a smooth setting bed for the pavers.
Paver Installation: Pavers are laid carefully by hand in your desired pattern, with consistent spacing and attention to detail.
Perimeter Bonding: We cement all edge pavers to create a solid frame that holds everything together and prevents edge displacement.
Joint Sanding & Sealing: Finally, we broom polymeric sand into the joints and mist with water to activate the binding agents. This locks the pavers in place and prevents weeds, ants, and joint erosion.
