Creating a Backyard You’ll Actually Want to Spend Time In
Las Vegas homeowners know how tough it can be to enjoy the outdoors when the heat climbs. A well-planned backyard can change that. With the right layout, shade, and materials, your space becomes a comfortable retreat, a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of desert living.
That’s where Sun Valley Landscaping comes in. Serving Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, our team designs and installs paver patios and outdoor living areas that balance beauty, durability, and comfort. Whether you want a cozy sitting area or a full outdoor kitchen, we’ll help you create a backyard that feels like an extension of your home.
Why Paver Patios Are Perfect for the Las Vegas Climate
The desert environment can be hard on outdoor surfaces. Traditional concrete cracks, grass fades, and the sun beats down year-round. Pavers are built to handle all of it and still look great for decades.
Built to Withstand the Desert
- Heat Resistant: Quality pavers reflect sunlight and stay cooler than standard concrete.
- Durable Under Pressure: Because they flex with the ground, they resist cracking better than solid slabs.
- Low Maintenance: Just rinse or sweep occasionally to keep them looking new.
- Fade Resistant: UV-protected colors hold up under years of direct sunlight.
At Sun Valley Landscaping, we use premium materials from trusted names like Belgard and Mirage, specifically chosen for their performance in desert climates.
Design Freedom That Fits Every Style
Pavers aren’t just practical, they’re creative tools for design. With so many colors, textures, and shapes available, you can match any architectural style or personal taste.
Popular Paver Design Options
- Herringbone and Basketweave Patterns: Classic looks that add character and visual interest.
- Natural Stone Finishes: Get the luxury of travertine or flagstone without the high maintenance.
- Multi-Color Blends: Combine warm desert tones with cool grays for depth and dimension.
- Border Accents: Use contrasting edges to outline seating areas or walkways.
Our landscape designers guide each homeowner through the design process, making sure every detail fits your home’s look, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Transforming Your Outdoor Space
A paver patio is more than a place to sit; it’s where people gather. Adding one to your property instantly expands your living area and boosts curb appeal and value.
How Pavers Transform Backyards
- Defined Living Zones: Create outdoor kitchens, shaded lounges, or cozy fire pit areas.
- Improved Property Value: High-quality hardscaping attracts buyers and enhances resale appeal.
- More Usable Space: Smooth surfaces make it easy to set up furniture or decor.
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: Pavers create a polished look that ties your yard together.
A professionally designed outdoor living area by Sun Valley Landscaping quickly becomes the heart of your home perfect for gatherings, quiet evenings, or weekend barbecues.
Combining Hardscaping with Landscaping
The best backyards balance structure and softness. Hardscaping gives shape and function, while landscaping adds life and color.
Our Integrated Approach
We combine both elements to create complete outdoor environments that thrive in the desert. Your design might include:
- Artificial turf for a clean, low-maintenance lawn
- Retaining walls to add structure or manage elevation
- Decorative rock and desert plants for water efficiency
- Landscape lighting for nighttime beauty and safety
Every design is created with the Las Vegas environment in mind so it looks amazing and works with the local climate, not against it.
The Installation Process with Sun Valley Landscaping
Choosing pavers is just the beginning. Proper installation makes the difference between a patio that lasts a season and one that lasts for decades.
Our Installation Steps
- Free Consultation: We evaluate your property, discuss ideas, and provide an upfront estimate.
- Site Preparation: Old surfaces are removed, the ground is leveled, and a compacted base is built.
- Laying the Pavers: Each stone is placed by hand with attention to pattern and precision.
- Edge Restraints and Joint Sand: Borders are secured, and sand locks each paver in place.
- Final Inspection: We review every detail to ensure it looks and performs perfectly.
Our process guarantees your new patio will stay level and beautiful for years even through the region’s extreme temperature swings.
Adding Outdoor Living Features
A patio is just the start. With a few upgrades, your backyard can become a complete outdoor living area that matches your lifestyle.
Popular Outdoor Living Additions
- Outdoor Kitchens: Great for grilling, hosting, or dining under the stars.
- Fire Pits and Seating Walls: Create warmth and character for cool desert nights.
- Pergolas and Shade Structures: Stay comfortable through the hottest months.
- Water Features: Fountains and ponds add relaxation and balance to the landscape.

Our team can design and install all these features as part of one seamless project, giving you a backyard that’s both functional and elegant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paver Patios
Yes. Sealing your pavers soon after installation helps preserve color, prevent UV fading, and protect against stains from spills or oil. Reapplying every few years keeps them looking fresh and extends their lifespan.
Pavers perform much better in the desert than poured concrete. Concrete tends to crack from heat and soil movement, while pavers flex naturally with the ground. If one gets damaged, it can be replaced individually, saving time and money.
Definitely. We design and install water features like fountains, ponds, and cascading walls that use efficient recirculating systems. They add a peaceful touch to your yard while staying water-smart for Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas homes.
Most paver patio projects take about one to two weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and design. Our team handles everything from preparation and base work to the final inspection so your new outdoor space is ready to enjoy as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality.

“Outstanding Work”
Victor and his team just finished my backyard landscaping and I couldn’t be happier! We had a retaining wall, pavers and turf put in. Victor was very communicative and punctual every day. We negotiated a fair price and the work they did was done very well and very quickly. They finished 2 days earlier than anticipated and even gave us some solar lights to polish everything off! During the process they offered great suggestions and were very knowledgeable and super friendly. Will definitely be using them for future work! I can’t say enough good things. So happy we chose Sun Valley LLC for this exciting project!
