We are beyond happy with how our pavers turned out! They look absolutely beautiful. They did an amazing job sanding and sealing the pavers, and also fixed our step perfectly. The attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of work were incredible from start to finish. Everything was done so neatly and with so much care. We’ve already gotten so many compliments! Highly recommend to anyone looking to refresh their outdoor space. Thank you again for such an amazing job!

Expert Patio Installation in River Forest, IL
Patio installation in River Forest means working with real local conditions. Homes here range from classic brick colonials to Prairie-style residences, and backyards sit on glacial clay-loam soil that shifts with freeze-thaw cycles every winter. A patio built without proper base depth and drainage will heave, crack, and settle within a few seasons. At Unique Seal And Brick, we account for all of that before the first stone goes down. We start with a site assessment, then grade and compact a deep aggregate base sized for your soil and traffic load. Edge restraints are set to hold the field in place through Chicagoland winters. Pitch is built into every surface so water exits away from your foundation. The result is a flat, stable outdoor space that holds up year after year. Whether your backyard is shaded by mature oaks or open to the sun, we fit the layout and materials to your specific lot. Call us to schedule a site visit.
