Willow Creek paver patio
Highland Park, Saint Paul
A lot going on at once. We fit the patio in without adding to the chaos.
Jessie and Daren had a full plate. A big tree coming down, a fence being moved, a bathroom remodel underway — and in the middle of all of it, an opportunity. With the tree gone and the fence being repositioned, they suddenly had the perfect spot for a patio extension they'd always wanted.
The catch: with so many projects happening at once, the budget had to work. That's where Haven came in. Rather than pushing a premium product, she worked with Jessie to find a paver that was genuinely quality — just smartly priced. Willow Creek in Bronze Blend fit the bill. A rich, multi-tone color in a 3-piece freestyle pattern with a natural gray soldier border.
The grade on the site required a timber border to hold the patio level along the slope. We got it done in record time — and now Jessie and Daren have a space that's ready for hosting.
A tree coming down, a fence moving, and an opportunity hiding in the chaos.
The backyard was mid-project — tree removal underway, new fence going in, the grade uneven and raw. Most homeowners wouldn't think to add a patio to the mix. Jessie and Daren saw it differently.

Quality paver. Smart budget. No compromises on the install.
Paver selection is one of the most important conversations we have with every client. The product you choose determines a big part of what the project costs — and there's a wide range of quality available at different price points. Haven's job is to help clients find the right fit, not to push them toward the most expensive option.
Willow Creek in Bronze Blend gave Jessie and Daren a genuinely beautiful patio at a price that made sense given everything else on their plate. The 3-piece freestyle pattern adds visual complexity without adding labor cost, and the natural gray soldier border frames the whole space cleanly.
Done in record time. Ready to host.
The finished patio gave Jessie and Daren exactly what they were after — a beautiful, functional outdoor space that fit their budget, handled the site's grade challenge, and got done without adding stress to an already busy renovation season.

Paver patio questions we hear all the time
How much does a paver patio cost in Saint Paul, MN?
Paver patios with Heritage Outdoors typically run $35–$50+ per square foot installed, depending on paver selection, site conditions, and any grading or drainage work required.

What is Willow Creek and is it a good paver?
Willow Creek is a paver manufacturer offering quality concrete pavers at a competitive price point. For clients who want a great-looking patio that maximizes their budget, Willow Creek is a strong choice — durable, well-made, and available in colors like Bronze Blend that look rich and natural in a backyard setting.
What is a timber border on a paver patio?
When a backyard has a significant grade change, a timber border — pressure-treated timber set into the ground along the patio edge — holds the patio level against the slope. It's a practical, cost-effective solution for sites where the grade is too steep to simply pour a base and lay pavers flat. Heritage Outdoors evaluates every site's grading needs during the estimate.
Can Heritage Outdoors work around other projects happening at the same time?
Yes — and we do it regularly. On this Highland Park project, Jessie and Daren had a tree removal, a fence replacement, and a bathroom remodel all happening at the same time. We coordinated our schedule around the other trades and got the patio done efficiently without adding stress to an already busy project list.
