A cracked, faded, or weedy patio has a way of dragging down the whole look of a backyard you'd otherwise love to show off. Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting fixes that with paver installation services for homes and businesses across Fort Myers, FL, and the surrounding areas, turning tired concrete and bare dirt into outdoor spaces built to last. From a cozy patio for morning coffee to a driveway that boosts your curb appeal, we handle the design and the dirty work so you end up with something solid, good-looking, and easy to live with.
Located in Fort Myers, FL, Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting is a family-run outdoor living contractor serving homeowners and businesses. Our team designs and installs custom patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, retaining walls, and fire pit areas using brick, concrete, and natural stone pavers. Every job is handled by our in-house crew, from excavation to the final sweep, so you work with one paver company from start to finish and never get handed off to a subcontractor.
We run into the same situation all over Southwest Florida. You've got a slab patio that's cracked down the middle, a driveway with weeds pushing through the seams, or a faded surface that makes the whole yard look tired no matter how nice everything around it is.
Most of the time it traces back to poured concrete and a rushed base underneath. Concrete has no give, so our shifting Florida soil and heavy rains crack it over time. When the ground wasn't excavated and compacted right to begin with, the whole thing starts to sink and settle. Once water finds those cracks and joints, weeds and stains move in fast.
We turn that around by doing the groundwork the right way before a single paver goes down. Our crew digs out the area, builds and compacts a solid base, and grades everything so water drains where it should. Then we lay your pavers in the pattern and material you picked and lock it all in with a clean, sealed finish. Because pavers sit as individual stones, they flex with the ground rather than crack, and if one ever needs attention down the road, we can lift and swap it without tearing up the whole surface.
The result is an outdoor space that looks sharp and actually holds up. You get a patio, driveway, or pool deck that resists cracking, shrugs off our weather, stays easy to clean, and keeps its good looks for years, giving you a spot you'll genuinely want to use instead of one you keep meaning to fix.
Our paver installation services help turn worn, basic, or underused outdoor areas into spaces that feel ready for real life.
Choosing the right stone shapes the entire feel of your finished project. We offer brick paver installation for a timeless, classic look, plus concrete paver installation for durability, with a wide range of shapes and colors to choose from. For something more organic, natural stone brings real character that no two patios will ever share.
What sits under your pavers matters just as much as the stones on top. Our crew handles full excavation, grading, and a compacted base so water drains where it should and your surface stays level for years. Skipping this step is what leads to the sinking and shifting you see on rushed jobs, so we never cut corners here.
Even solid hardscapes can settle, stain, or loosen up over time. Our paver repair work tackles sunken sections, wobbly stones, and worn joints to bring an aging surface back to life. When a patch is too far gone, our paver replacement team swaps it out cleanly so the fix blends right in with the rest.
A little protection goes a long way toward keeping your investment looking sharp. Sealing your pavers guards against stains, fading, and weeds creeping up through the joints, which keeps maintenance low and the color rich. We finish qualifying projects with a clean, even seal so your hardscape holds its good looks season after season.
First impressions start at the curb, and a fresh driveway sets the tone for the whole property. Our paver driveway installation withstands daily traffic and Florida sun without the cracking you get with poured slabs, while neat walkways tie your yard together and guide guests safely to the door. Both come in styles and patterns that match the look you're after.
Few things beat gathering around a warm fire on a cool Florida evening. With our fire pit installation service, we create a backyard hangout spot your family and friends will gravitate toward all year. Each setup gets designed to flow with the rest of your space rather than feeling tacked on.
A good patio quickly becomes the most-used room of the house, just without the roof. Our backyard patio installation service provides a sturdy, weather-resistant foundation for dining, lounging, or entertaining a crowd. Pairing those concrete paver patios with retaining walls or planters can shape the whole area into a true outdoor living space.
The area around your pool takes a real beating from sun, splashing, and bare feet all day long. Our pool deck pavers stay cooler underfoot than poured concrete and give you slip-resistant footing right where you need it most. Spills and pool chemicals wipe away easily, too, so the surface keeps looking great all summer.
A yard can look completely different once the lighting is placed in the right spots. Our landscape lighting services help brighten paths, patios, pool areas, fountains, decks, balconies, columns, planting beds, and other outdoor features, so your space feels more inviting as evening settles in.
Built-in lighting is a smart option when you want your property ready for holidays, gatherings, color changes, and regular nighttime use without having to unpack lights every season. Our permanent lighting services include residential and commercial systems, dock lighting, roofline lighting, outdoor LED lighting, smart controls, color-changing features, and architectural lighting.
There's a better way to get the holiday sparkle without spending your Saturday on a ladder with a box of mystery cords. Our holiday lighting services cover custom designs, professional installation, roofline lighting, trees, shrubs, walkways, landscape accents, LED Christmas systems, timers, smart controls, seasonal support, takedown, and organized storage.
Once the sun goes down, a lanai needs light that feels comfortable without turning the screens into mirrors. Our lanai lighting uses discreet Nebula or cap-style fixtures mounted on pool cage beams to create a soft glow around walkways, steps, pool edges, and screened spaces, with materials designed for Florida's humidity and salt air.
A great outdoor project starts with a plan that feels clear before anything gets planted, removed, or installed. Our landscape design services may include 2D and 3D render videos, designer guidance, layout revisions, plant selections, hedge removal, botanical updates, residential concepts, condo and apartment layouts, and lighting ideas for clubhouses or shared outdoor areas.
When the yard feels worn out, patchy, or stuck in a past decade, a fresh landscape installation can make the whole property feel more inviting. Our team handles rehabs, remodels, remulching, re-rocking, plant updates, full design and reinstallation work, and outdoor upgrades that help everything feel more complete.
Uneven watering can turn a nice landscape into a guessing game pretty quickly. Our irrigation repair services cover inspections, troubleshooting, sprinkler system repairs, drainage correction, oversaturation fixes, emergency repairs, and residential or commercial irrigation system repairs.
Your paver project should feel straightforward from the first conversation, with a team that explains the plan clearly and keeps the finished space in mind.
Our complimentary estimates and consultations give us time to understand your space, discuss layout ideas, and review what makes the most sense for your property.
Qualifying landscape installations include a one-year plant warranty, and our holiday lighting services include 24/7 seasonal support to help keep displays bright when the season is in full swing.
As a local, family-owned company, our team stands behind the finished work and values the relationships we build with homeowners and businesses across Southwest Florida.
Our partnership with S4 Lights allows us to install commercial-grade LED lighting and décor systems for holidays, events, and year-round architectural displays.
Most paver installation projects take a few days to complete, depending on the area size, layout, drainage needs, and the type of pavers used. A simple walkway may take less time, while a driveway, pool deck, fire pit area, or custom paver patio installation can take longer.
A paver installation works well for Florida outdoor spaces because pavers can handle patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, and backyard entertainment areas with a clean, finished look. With proper base preparation and drainage planning, pavers can also help outdoor areas remain more usable during rain, heat, and everyday use.
A professional paver installation can include excavation, base preparation, grading, drainage planning, custom layouts, paver placement, edge restraints, joint sand, and finishing touches.
Concrete pavers, brick pavers, and natural stone pavers can all work well in Florida, depending on the look, use, and layout of the space. Patios often prioritize style and comfort, while driveways require durable materials and proper base preparation to handle vehicles and daily traffic.
Paver repair may work when only a few sections have shifted, cracked, or settled. Replacement may make more sense when large areas look uneven, drainage problems keep returning, or the current layout no longer fits how you use the outdoor space.
