When outdoor hardscapes aren’t installed correctly, they don’t just lose their appearance—they can become uneven, unstable, and unsafe. That’s exactly what one North Raleigh homeowner was experiencing after a previously installed flagstone patio began to fail.
The homeowner contacted MWM Landscaping & Grading to remove the failing installation and rebuild the space with quality craftsmanship and durable materials. As part of this hardscaping project, our team transformed the poolside area into a beautiful, long-lasting outdoor living space that’s built to withstand years of use.
Replacing a Failing Flagstone Patio
The existing flagstone patio had been installed by another contractor and was already showing signs of failure. Rather than attempting temporary repairs, we removed the damaged installation and rebuilt the patio with proper preparation and installation techniques to ensure lasting performance.
Our team carefully reinstalled approximately 200 square feet of natural flagstone, preserving the timeless character and natural beauty that makes flagstone such a popular choice for outdoor living spaces.
Natural flagstone continues to provide an elegant transition around the pool while offering excellent durability and a classic appearance that complements the surrounding landscape.
Expanding the Outdoor Living Space with Belgard Pavers
To create additional functional space around the pool, we also installed approximately 550 square feet of Belgard pavers.
Belgard pavers are an excellent choice for pool patios because they offer:
- Long-lasting durability
- Low maintenance
- Excellent drainage
- Attractive color and texture options
- A slip-resistant surface for poolside areas
The new paver installation blends seamlessly with the natural flagstone, creating a cohesive outdoor living area that’s both beautiful and functional.
