Paver Patios in Salem
Paver patios in Salem make sense when they're larger-scope — 400+ sq ft or combined with retaining wall and drainage work. The southern Willamette clay needs careful base prep; we don't shortcut depth on Salem installs because the trip-back cost would eat any savings.
About working in Salem
What we've learned installing paver patios in Salem.
Salem is the southern anchor of our service area. We take selective work in Salem — primarily larger-scope hardscape and drainage projects where the trip makes sense logistically. The market is less crowded than Portland, which means our pricing and warranty terms read differently here.
Terrain & soil
Salem sits in the southern Willamette Valley with deep silt and clay soils. The east side toward Lancaster runs heavier clay; the west toward Polk County is more loam. Drainage planning is essential — winter saturation is the norm here.
Properties we work on
Mix of 1960s-1990s established neighborhoods on 0.2-0.4 acre lots, plus newer subdivisions on the south side. Less new construction than the Portland metro, and lot sizes tend to be slightly larger on average.
Neighborhoods we serve
- South Salem
- Lancaster
- West Salem
- Croisan Creek
- Sunnyslope
Permits in Salem

Common questions
What Salem 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.
