Pavers and a Patio Cover: Can One Company Do Both?

Written October 20, 2026.

Quick answer: Yes. We do pavers too, and we can put them in with your patio cover, so the patio floor and the shade over it come from one company. Planning the two together lets the posts, the footings and anything under the floor go in once, in the right order. Every project starts with a free on-site design consultation. Call or text 725-502-3114 to set one up.

Why plan the pavers and the patio cover together?

Because the cover's posts stand in the floor, and the two have to fit.

The posts need a base. If the posts cannot sit on an existing slab, each one needs a new concrete footing. A footing is a hole dug at each post and filled with concrete, and footings require digging and inspections. That work is easier before the new floor goes down than after.

Pavers already down mean extra work. When posts land in a paver patio, taking the pavers up and setting them back is part of the job. When the floor and the cover are planned together, the pavers go around the posts once.

Power goes under the floor. If you want fans or lights on a cover that stands away from the house, the electrical can be routed to it through underground conduit. That trench crosses whatever lies between the house and the cover, so settle it before pavers or concrete go down.

Rain needs somewhere to go. Rain runs off a solid patio cover into a built-in gutter system that directs the water away from the patio. Decide where the downspouts will empty before the pavers are laid.

The sun is why the cover is there. In a Phoenix hospital study, concrete in the sun peaked at 136 to 140°F and concrete in shade peaked at 102°F. The study does not name concrete pavers, so treat those figures as a guide. Shade is what keeps a new floor usable on a summer afternoon.

What order does the work go in?

Every yard is different, but in general the order runs like this:

  1. Lay out the cover: its size, and where each post lands. Posts should not land in the middle of a sliding door path or block a grill zone.
  2. Dig any trench for power or drainage.
  3. Dig and pour the footings at the posts, and get them inspected.
  4. Lay the pavers around the post locations.
  5. Set the posts and build the cover.

On some jobs the posts go up first and the pavers are cut in around them. Either way, the footings and posts come before or with the pavers, not after.

What can I check before the consultation?

  1. What is there now. Whether there is a slab, pavers or bare ground where the posts will go.
  2. How you will use it. A small dining table, a grill, a spa, a pool-side seating area and a full outdoor room all need different coverage.
  3. Power. Whether you want fans, lights or outlets, so the wiring is planned before the floor goes down.
  4. Water. Where rain and sprinkler water run now, and where a downspout could empty.
  5. Your HOA. Most associations want to approve a patio cover's design, color and placement. Ask whether your guidelines cover pavers too.
  6. Photos. Take photos of the back of the house and the patio.

What does City Seamless do?

We do pavers too, and we can put them in with your patio cover. Every project starts with a free on-site design consultation, where we evaluate your patio layout, sun exposure and HOA requirements before recommending the right product for your home.

For the cover, we install Alumawood and Four Seasons Elitewood systems in every configuration: lattice, solid, insulated, combination and freestanding. Our insulated covers can be built over existing concrete patios or coordinated with new paver installations. We pull the building permit for the cover and handle it from application through final inspection. Our project gallery shows covers finished with pavers.

Frequently asked questions

Does City Seamless install pavers?

Yes. We do pavers too, and we can put them in with your patio cover, so the patio floor and the shade over it come from one company.

Should the pavers or the patio cover go in first?

Plan them together. In general, the post locations and footings are settled before or with the paver work, and any trench for power goes in before the pavers, so nothing has to be taken up later.

Can you put a patio cover over pavers I already have?

Yes. When posts land in a paver patio, taking the pavers up and setting them back is part of the job. If the posts cannot sit on an existing slab, each one needs a new concrete footing.

Does a patio cover need a permit in Las Vegas?

Yes. Every jurisdiction in the Las Vegas Valley requires a building permit for a patio cover. City Seamless handles the entire permit process, from application through final inspection.
