AV Property Care designs and installs patios in Summerset, SD that become the centerpiece of your outdoor lifestyle. From intimate courtyard retreats to expansive entertaining platforms, we build it beautifully and built it to last.
A professionally installed patio is one of the highest-return investments a homeowner can make. Beyond the immediate improvement in outdoor livability, a well-designed patio increases property value, extends the usable square footage of your home, and transforms unused yard space into a destination your family and guests will use constantly.
At AV Property Care, our patio installation team in Summerset, SD approaches every project with a design-first mindset. We begin by understanding how you intend to use the space: whether it is primarily for dining, entertaining, relaxation, or a combination. That functional brief shapes everything from the overall size and shape of the patio to the material selection, drainage orientation, and any built-in features like seating walls, fire pit cutouts, or planting borders.
Our installations cover every phase of the project from excavation and compacted base preparation through final edge detailing and polymeric sand jointing. We never skip base preparation steps in the interest of speed. A properly compacted, graded aggregate base is what separates a patio that stays flat and stable for decades from one that sinks, heaves, and develops drainage problems within a few seasons.
All of our patio installations incorporate positive drainage slope to move water away from your home's foundation. We also plan for how the patio integrates with surrounding lawn, planting beds, and any adjacent structures or retaining walls to create a cohesive outdoor space rather than an isolated slab dropped into the middle of your yard.

Whether you prefer natural stone, concrete pavers, or exposed aggregate, AV Property Care installs patios that match your vision and exceed your durability expectations in Summerset, SD.
Concrete pavers offer an exceptional combination of durability, variety, and value. Available in dozens of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, pavers allow for intricate patterns and easy repairs since individual units can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding installation.
Flagstone patios deliver timeless, organic character that no manufactured product can fully replicate. Bluestone, travertine, limestone, and slate each bring distinctive color and texture. We install flagstone both dry-set over compacted base and mortar-set over concrete for maximum stability.
Stamped concrete provides the visual richness of stone or brick at a lower material cost. Our crews achieve precise pattern alignment and consistent coloring using professional-grade stamps, release agents, and integral color systems for a result that maintains its appearance long after installation.
Integrated seating walls define the patio perimeter, eliminate the need for bulky furniture, and create a polished finished edge between the hardscape and surrounding landscape. We design and build seating walls to match your patio material and incorporate comfortable coping heights.
A fire pit transforms a patio into a four-season gathering space. We plan the fire pit pad, fuel routing, and surrounding conversation area into the patio design from the start, ensuring the entire configuration is safe, proportioned, and compliant with local clearance requirements.
Settled, cracked, or stained patios benefit from professional repair rather than full replacement. We re-level sunken sections, replace cracked pavers, clean and re-sand joints, and apply appropriate sealers to restore both function and appearance to worn patio surfaces.
Patio installation requires precision at every phase. Here is why Summerset, SD homeowners consistently select our team for their outdoor living investments.
We spend time understanding your lifestyle, your home's architectural style, and your long-term landscape vision before recommending a single material or layout configuration. Good patio design serves function first and looks stunning as a result.
We excavate to the correct depth for your soil conditions, install a properly sloped crushed stone base, and compact it in layers. This foundation work is invisible once the project is complete, but it is what determines whether your patio lasts 5 years or 35 years.
Every patio we build is graded away from your home's foundation and surrounding structures. Where site conditions require it, we incorporate channel drains, pop-up emitters, or French drain connections to manage surface runoff effectively.
Our installers have hands-on experience with natural stone, concrete pavers, porcelain tile, stamped concrete, and exposed aggregate. We know the installation requirements, tolerances, and maintenance needs of each product and recommend accordingly.
Our patio installations come with a written workmanship warranty. We stand behind the structural integrity of our base preparation and installation work, providing you with documented protection for your outdoor living investment.
A professionally installed outdoor living space consistently returns significant value at resale. We design patios with resale considerations in mind, selecting materials and scales that appeal broadly to buyers while delivering immediate enjoyment for your family.
Honest reviews from homeowners in Summerset, SD who chose AV Property Care for their patio project.
The design consultation alone was worth calling them. They asked great questions about how we use our backyard and came back with a layout that we never would have thought of ourselves. The finished patio is exactly right for our family and it has completely changed how much time we spend outside.
I specifically asked about their base preparation process before hiring because I had a previous contractor skip that step. AV Property Care walked me through exactly how they excavate and compact. Three seasons later, not a single paver has settled or moved. That is exactly what I was looking for.
The integrated seating wall was the best decision we made. It ties the patio together architecturally and we actually use it more than our outdoor chairs. The crews were neat every day and completed the project on the timeline they quoted. Overall a seamless experience.
We chose flagstone for a natural look to match our wooded backyard setting. AV Property Care sourced beautiful Pennsylvania bluestone and the dry-set installation is perfectly level with excellent joint consistency. Our outdoor space looks genuinely premium now.
Our fire pit patio is the social hub of our neighborhood now. The fire pit positioning and seating arrangement they planned out is perfect for conversation. The drainage from the patio works flawlessly even after very heavy rainfall events. Extremely satisfied with the whole project.
They repaired a badly settled patio that two other companies said needed full replacement. AV Property Care re-leveled every section, replaced cracked pavers, and re-sanded all the joints. It looks and functions like new. Saved me a significant amount compared to a replacement quote.
