Our Services
A well-designed patio gives you an outdoor space you can actually use, from quiet mornings with coffee to weekend gatherings with family and friends. Torres builds custom paver and natural stone patios across Kalamazoo, Portage, and surrounding communities. Every installation is built with proper excavation, base prep, and drainage so your patio stays level and beautiful through Michigan's seasons.
We plan patio layouts around how you live outside, your home's architecture, and the grade of your property. The result is an outdoor space that feels intentional and works year after year.
Built Right
We review grade, drainage, access, and usage goals before layout recommendations are made.
We excavate to depth and compact the base in lifts for long-term structural support.
Pavers or stone are installed with clean lines, consistent joint spacing, and correct edge restraint.
Final compaction and joint stabilization help lock in the surface and improve durability.
Optional fire pits, seat walls, pathways, and steps are coordinated into one cohesive build.
We review care recommendations and confirm every detail before project closeout.
FAQ
Concrete pavers and natural stone are the most reliable choices for Michigan patios because they flex better through freeze-thaw cycles than poured concrete. We help you choose the right option based on budget, style, and maintenance preferences.
Most patios in the Kalamazoo area need 6-8 inches of compacted aggregate base plus 1 inch of leveling material beneath the pavers. Base depth can increase based on soil conditions, drainage, and expected load.
Yes. We regularly integrate fire pits, seat walls, steps, lighting, edging, and planting zones into patio projects so your space is functional and cohesive from day one.
Most standard residential patio projects are completed in 3-5 days. Larger or more detailed layouts with integrated hardscape features can take 1-2 weeks.

Roberto and his team made my backyard vision a reality. They were able to take a 68 year old hardscape in my backyard and transform it into something that is beautiful and built of rock and bluestone. It is the beginning of a sensational hangout spot for me and my family. The company's attention to detail is above and beyond.
We have been working with Torres Lawn Care for two years. Roberto and his team are fantastic. They have put in retaining walls, walkways and completed a large dirt and reseeding project. The work is excellent and the quality outstanding. His team is very hard working and diligent. This year, Torres took over our mowing service. They do a great job, are timely and the cost competitive. As well, they are now doing our Fall and Spring clean ups. Again the service and quality is outstanding. We highly recommend Torres Lawn Care.
