Concrete slab to stone paver patio in Fremont
The old concrete slab came out and a stone paver patio went in, with a bullnose paver step at the sliding door and a darker border band framing the edge along the lawn.

After
What the homeowners started with
The backyard was a plain concrete slab. The homeowners wanted a patio that felt like part of the house instead of leftover concrete.
How it came together
Alonso helped plan the layout and went with the homeowner to choose the stone. The slab came out, and a stone paver patio went in with a bullnose step at the slider and a darker border band along the lawn.
Why the base matters
A paver patio is only as flat as what is under it. Excavation, a compacted base and edge restraint keep the pavers tight and level long after the job is done.

What the homeowner said
“We recently replaced our concrete slab backyard with a stone paver patio at our home, and Alonso and his crew were fantastic. His quote was higher than others, but he earned the job by being methodical, available, and clearly capable. From the start he was thoughtful about the approach and helped us think through both design and execution. The project moved quickly and efficiently, and his crew was polite, professional, and detail-oriented. Alonso took initiative to fix small details without being asked, which really showed his pride in the work. One of the biggest value adds was his help with planning. He came with me to shop for stone, offered recommendations, and ultimately improved our original vision. The yard went from concrete to castle. The finished patio looks amazing and is one of our favorite spaces. I strongly recommend Alonso and his crew for any landscaping, yard work, or exterior renovation. Very grateful for his work and would absolutely hire him again.”
