Paver Patio Installation in Ankeny, Iowa
Your backyard should be the easiest place in Ankeny to spend a summer evening. If it’s a patch of grass you look at instead of a patio you live on, we can fix that.
Tebock’s Landscape designs and installs custom paver patios for homeowners across Ankeny. Nick started building landscapes around the metro in 2009 and opened Tebock’s in 2020. We live and work in Ankeny ourselves, so when you hire us you’re hiring neighbors who drive past their own work, not a subcontractor you’ll never see again.
What Goes Into a Patio That Lasts
Anyone can lay pavers on dirt. The difference between a patio that looks good the day it’s finished and one that still looks good ten years later is everything you can’t see.
Iowa freeze and thaw cycles are hard on hardscaping. A patio built without proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage will heave, settle, and shift. We build for our winters: a properly compacted base, correct slope for drainage away from your foundation, and edge restraints that keep everything where we put it.
Here’s what that means on your yard. We excavate a minimum of 12 inches and lay two layers of geotextile fabric before the base goes in. Ankeny sits on clay that holds water, and water is what moves a patio: the ground settles where it stays soft and lifts where wet soil freezes. The depth gets the base down below that soft layer, and the fabric keeps the clay from working up into the base over the years. It’s more base than a lot of patios get, and it’s the part of the job you’ll never see.
You pick the layout, the pavers, and the pattern. We handle the part that keeps it flat through February.

More Than Just the Patio
Most of our Ankeny patio projects grow into full outdoor living spaces. If you’re already thinking bigger, we design and build:
- Fire pits for the three seasons Iowa actually gives us
- Retaining walls and landscape steps for sloped yards
- Walkways connecting the patio to the driveway or garden
- Landscape lighting so the evening doesn’t end at sunset
We can build it all at once or in phases as your budget allows. Either way, we design the full picture first so phase two doesn’t mean tearing up phase one.
What a Paver Patio Costs in Ankeny
We can’t price a patio we haven’t seen, but we can tell you where the number starts. Our paver patios start around $7,500, and that’s a small one. A typical patio takes us 4 to 5 days to build. Three things move the price from there:
- Size. Square footage sets the base and the pavers, so it’s the biggest driver.
- Slope. A sloped yard needs more excavation, and sometimes a small retaining wall, to end up flat.
- Add-ons. Fire pits, seat walls, steps and lighting each add to the quote, and each can be phased in later if we design for it now.
Your quote is free and based on a walk of your actual yard, not a number off a chart.
