Paver Patios in Portland
Paver patios in Portland get specified differently by neighborhood. Inner-east bungalow yards favor smaller-format pavers in tight patterns; Southwest hillside lots often need stepped patios with retaining wall integration. BES stormwater requirements apply on larger projects.
About working in Portland
What we've learned installing paver patios in Portland.
Portland is the largest city in our service area, but we're selective about which neighborhoods we take work in. We focus on the close-in southwest and inner-east neighborhoods where the project profiles fit our crew strengths — hardscape, drainage, and full-yard transformations on established residential lots.
Terrain & soil
Massively variable. Southwest has hills and basalt; east of the river is mostly flat alluvial soil; the hills above Burnside are deep loam over clay. Drainage planning has to be done lot-by-lot in Portland more than anywhere else in our footprint.
Properties we work on
Anything from 1900s craftsman bungalows on 0.1 acre to 1+ acre lots in the Southwest hills. Mature landscapes are the norm — most projects involve working around existing trees, hardscape, and infrastructure.
Neighborhoods we serve
- Southwest Portland (Multnomah, Hillsdale, Burlingame)
- Sellwood-Moreland
- Eastmoreland
- Laurelhurst
- Hawthorne
Permits in Portland
Portland's permit process is the most complex in our service area. Tree code, BES (Bureau of Environmental Services) stormwater requirements, and historic overlays all kick in depending on neighborhood. We quote permit timelines conservatively here.

Common questions
What Portland homeowners ask about paver patios.
How much does a paver patio cost?
Typical paver patios in the Portland–Salem corridor run $10,000–$25,000 depending on size, pattern, and grading needs. A 400 sqft herringbone patio is usually around $14–$18K all-in.
What patterns do you install?
Herringbone, basketweave, running bond, and custom layouts. We bring samples to the free site visit so you can see materials in your light.
Will the pavers stay flat over time?
Yes — that's what proper base prep is for. We excavate, compact a structural base, install edge restraints, and stabilize the joints. The 5-year hardscape warranty covers the install.
Do you integrate drainage with paver patios?
Always. We grade for runoff during install. If the site needs more (channel drains, french drains, downspout integration) we design that in from day one — not bolted on later.
Do you require an upfront payment?
No. We never require upfront payment. The free site visit gives you a locked quote, and you're not invoiced until the work is complete.
What areas do you serve?
We work the I-5 corridor from Canby (our HQ) through Aurora, Hubbard, Oregon City, West Linn, Wilsonville, Tualatin, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, Portland, and Salem.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. GI Landscape is CCB # 224884, fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Oregon.
