Porcelain
No sealing, no fading, no stains
Non-porous, so wine, grease and pool chemicals rinse off and colour does not fade. 2CM is the patio standard; large formats and wood or marble looks give a clean, modern surface.

Patio Pavers in Sarasota, FL
The only Hardscape.com certified installer in Sarasota County — patios that stay level, drain away from the house and stay comfortable barefoot.
Certified Installer fine sand, a shallow water table and Gulf salt air
A patio built for Sarasota
Sarasota sand drains quickly but does not hold its shape on its own. A patio laid on a thin, uncompacted base looks perfect for a season, then dips at the edges where rain runs off the roof and washes the bedding out from under the pavers.
The detail that changes here: We confine every edge and compact the base in lifts, then set a fall away from the house so roof water leaves the patio instead of soaking it. Near the Gulf and the bay, joints get a marine-grade compound that holds against wind-blown sand.
We build paver patios throughout Sarasota:
- Palmer Ranch
- Siesta Key
- Gulf Gate
- Osprey
- Lido Key
- Downtown Sarasota

Materials
Patio paver options for Sarasota homes
Chosen by sun, salt and how much upkeep you want — not by the brochure.
Travertine
The coolest surface underfoot
Natural stone that stays comfortable barefoot in full Florida sun. Classic in a French pattern. Needs sealing on a regular schedule, more often near the coast.
Learn moreBrick & concrete pavers
Classic look, best value
Clay brick for colour that never fades and a long service life; concrete pavers for the widest choice of colours and shapes at the best price.
Learn moreWhat a Sarasota patio has to handle
On Siesta Key, Lido Key and along the bay, salt air bleaches and pits unsealed surfaces. Porcelain never needs sealing; travertine does, on a coastal schedule.
Palmer Ranch and the gated communities off Honore and Clark have architectural review boards. We bring the product sheets, samples and layout the board asks for before work starts.
Most older Sarasota homes already have a small concrete patio. If it is sound, we can extend it with pavers and mortar-set over the old slab so the whole space reads as one surface.
Process
How we build a patio in Sarasota
- 01
On-site design
We measure, check where water goes and assess any existing slab, then lay out the footprint with you.
- 02
Approvals
HOA review when your community requires it — before any work starts.
- 03
Base or slab prep
New areas: excavate, geotextile and compacted crushed stone in lifts. Existing slab: clean, repair and profile for mortar.
- 04
Edges and fall
Confined edges and a fall away from the house, so roof water leaves the patio.
- 05
Installation
Pattern laid and levelled continuously, clean wet-saw cuts around columns, drains and doors, no lippage.
- 06
Joints and walkthrough
Polymeric or marine-grade joints, sealing where the material needs it, and a final walkthrough with you.

Questions
Patio pavers in Sarasota, answered
How much does a paver patio cost in Sarasota?+
It depends on the material, the size, whether there is an old slab to remove or build over, and how much base your soil needs. Concrete and brick pavers cost less per square foot than porcelain or travertine. We measure on site and give you a written, itemised estimate.
What is the best patio paver for Sarasota sun?+
Travertine stays the coolest underfoot in full sun, which matters on an unshaded patio. Porcelain is the choice for no sealing, no fading and no stains. Brick and concrete pavers are the value options. We help you choose by sun exposure, salt exposure and how much upkeep you want.
Do I need a permit for a paver patio in Sarasota County?+
An at-grade paver patio on your own lot usually does not need a building permit, but a roof, screen enclosure or change to drainage can. HOA communities need review board approval first. We confirm both for your address at the estimate.
Can you extend my existing concrete patio with pavers?+
Yes. If the slab is sound and drains correctly, we mortar-set pavers over it and extend the paved area beyond it on a new compacted base, so the whole patio finishes at one level in one material.

Rated 5 out of 5Diogo and his team replaced our horrible travertine pavers with large porcelain pavers in a light cream. They are incredible! The entire team did such a great job and we’re very happy with the outcome! We highly recommend EC Paver Solutions!

Rated 5 out of 5I just have installed the "Da Vinci" Italian Porcelain tiles by EC Paver Solutions in my driveway, and I could not be happier with the results. Diego and his team did fantastic job. They finished the project on time we agreed on and they clean after the work was done. Great job done!

Rated 5 out of 5Highly recommend EC Pavers. Diogo is great to work with and his crew is fast and very detailed. They completed a large project around our pool using 3cm ceramic pavers and mosaic tiles wrapping the spa and waterline of the pool. A few months later, they came back to do the driveway also in the same ceramic pavers. The work was done promptly and everything was handled in a professional and efficient manner. Diogo has come back a few times to take care of minor items and is always available to address any concerns. I’m very happy with the work and highly recommend them to anyone.
