Patio Construction & Installation in Winnipeg
A beautiful patio that you'll love using every day of the summer
Beautifully Designed. Built for Real Life
Earthworks Landscaping specializes in building patios that feel good to be in – comfortable, practical spaces you’ll actually use. Ideally it'll be one of the best parts of your house, an outdoor space you truly enjoy.
We’ll help you think through how you live and relax outdoors, and make sure the layout supports that naturally.
High-Quality Craftsmanship. Lasting Value.
We take pride in doing careful, detailed work. All curves, patterns, and joints are considered carefully.
We don’t rush jobs. Our experienced crew takes the time to get things right.
And, since so much of the cost in landscaping is the labour it only makes sense to use high quality materials to make all the work worthwhile, and that is exactly what we do.
Durable Patios Engineered for Winnipeg Conditions
Winnipeg’s extreme climate and clay soil can be tough on stonework. Freeze-thaw cycles, shifting ground, and moisture make it essential to build patios with the right techniques and materials.
We build with Winnipeg’s conditions in mind. That means deeper excavation, a good drainage strategy, and an interlocking brick system that can handle inevitable ground movement.
The result is a patio that stays level, stays solid, and looks good – season after season.
A patio we build will last for decades with almost no maintenance.
Our stonework is guaranteed for 5 years

Patio Installation FAQs
A patio could cost anywhere from $6 to $60 per square foot. But our guide will help you estimate it based on your choice of finish material, size and complexity of design and location of the patio.
A really short answer is: Small 8'x8' patios are usually around $4,000. Medium-sized patios are around $9,000. Very large patios can be closer to $20,000.
Considering the huge benefit and very low maintenance costs, we think of patios as one of the best enhancements to a home you can get for a similar cost.
To get a better idea of how long it takes, including design time and material delivery, see our timeline estimation guide for patio installation.
Our Google Reviews consistently talk about how happy people are that we actually show up on time.
Spring and early summer everyone is eager to get their yards and gardens in shape so ideally you'll reach out to us in late winter or early spring.
Mid- to late-summer tend to be good opportunities to get things done on shorter notice because the spring rush is over.
The smaller the project, the easier it is to fit into an existing schedule so it's more likely to be something that can be done on short notice.
If you email us, we can give you a very clear idea of how long you'll have to wait. We also have this longer article discussing how far in advance you should book a landscaping contractor for various services.
- Sweep off grass clippings and fallen leaves. It is a common misconception that weeds grow up through the joints between pavers, but actually weeds settle in from the top. If those weed seeds are removed along with any other organic material, they won't be able to take root.
- Inspect joint sand. With our clay soils in Winnipeg it is inevitable that patios will move with the changing of seasons. A concrete paver surface is a flexible system that can move with these changes, but occasionally you will see fine cracks develop in the sand between the pavers. You'll want to fill those cracks. We can do this for you easily. If any cracks appear within five years of installation, just send us an email and we will happily take care of it for you as a part of our guarantee.
- If your patio is multiple decades old, sometimes a few of your paver bricks end up cracked. This may be an indicator of deeper problems, but in many cases it is a simple matter of replacing the cracked bricks with new pavers. We can do this for you as a part of our brick patio repair services. It is extremely rare to see damaged pavers that are less than 20 or 30 years old.
- Sometimes even well-built patios will experience issues from ground movement in Winnipeg. Areas with disturbed soil, next to driveways or along building foundations are more likely to cause problems and sometimes require repair work within 10 years.
We have a 5-year guarantee on our patio stonework. We take the warranty very seriously and routinely do small repairs on patios we've built to honour that guarantee. You can see in some of our Google Reviews that our customers were really surprised at how we responded when they had little problems with our work. So we do stand behind our work.

We had a wonderful experience with Dwayne and his team at Earthworks. Communication was easy and Dwayne was very happy to answer all of our questions. They were very accommodating with the personal design we had and with last minute project add ons (excavation, hauling, extra mini patio). They tidied up the yard carefully after work was completed. And finally… the patio workmanship is beautiful!!

Our first project with Earthworks was about 15 years ago to create a backyard patio space. We were very impressed with Dwayne's creative ideas and the quality of his craftsmanship. Since that time we've had him back to create a front sidewalk and gardens. Dwayne is an artist. He is helpful in planning, reliable, on site every day and maintains a good crew. We've recommended Dwayne to friends and family over the years and all have been appreciative and very happy with the quality of his work. We highly recommend Earthworks!!!
