“Tom is very organized and went by his thorough bid, communicating along the way about what was happening and when. The end result was excellent.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris C. — Leavenworth, WA
“Tom did an outstanding job. The job site was in a tough location. He was very conscientious and careful not to damage the existing landscaping even though that meant hauling most of the rock and stone by hand. The quality of his work was outstanding.We couldn't be happier with the finished product. I'd often look out the window and see him throwing the ball to my dogs!!! That's just who he is.”

How We Build Patios That Last for Decades
At Dreamlike Builders, we believe your outdoor space should be as functional as it is beautiful. Our patio installation process is designed to ensure long-lasting performance, seamless design, and minimal maintenance. Here’s how we bring your vision to life:
1. Site Preparation & Grading
We start by creating a clean, stable foundation for your new patio.
-
Clear debris, vegetation, and any obstructions
-
Excavate to the required depth for the base system
-
Level and grade the area for proper water drainage
-
Compact the subgrade to prevent settling
2. Base System Installation
A strong base is the key to a patio that lasts for decades.
-
Install geotextile fabric to separate native soil from the base materials
-
Add 6" of clean, angular drainage rock (no fines) for stability and water flow
-
Compact the base in layers for maximum strength
-
Add 2" bedding layer of clean 3/8" chip rock to create a perfect setting surface
