Your Hillside Patio Is Fighting a Battle Against the Rock
That stunning limestone terrace at your Spanish Oaks home looked incredible when it was installed. Now the grout is separating from the natural rock foundation, pavers are lifting where tree roots pushed through, and water sheets across the surface during every storm.
The real cost of waiting: Bee Caves' unforgiving terrain doesn't forgive neglected hardscapes. Unaddressed settling on hillside patios leads to structural failure that can compromise retaining walls and cost $15K+ to rebuild from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
Why do pavers on my Bee Caves hillside keep shifting despite repairs?
Limestone terrain has hidden fractures that channel water underneath your patio. Proper repair requires addressing subsurface drainage, not just releveling the surface.
Our HOA requires specific materials—can you match them?
Yes, we connect you with contractors experienced in Bee Caves communities who stock matching pavers and know each HOA's architectural standards.
A tree root lifted several pavers. Can this be fixed without removing the oak?
Skilled crews can excavate around roots, install root barriers, and rebuild the affected section while preserving the tree. Austin's oak wilt concerns make tree preservation critical.
