Somers sits at a spot where wind funnels down the Flathead Valley toward the lake, and that has more effect on a patio than most homeowners expect until they've tried to sit outside on a breezy afternoon. Layout and orientation matter here as much as the view does.
Wind funneling down the valley
A patio that's technically facing the water but sitting directly in that valley wind channel often goes unused more than one tucked slightly out of the direct line or backed by a low wall or planting screen. We look at where the wind actually moves across a specific lot, not just the general compass direction, before laying anything out.
Older grid-platted lots near downtown
A lot of homes in Somers sit on smaller lots laid out generations ago, with houses closer to the street and to each other than newer subdivisions elsewhere in the valley. Patios on these lots tend to be modest and efficient, fit into the side or back yard rather than sprawling across ground that isn't there.
Base work for a freeze-thaw climate
Whatever the lot size, the aggregate base underneath a patio has to handle the same cycle of freezing and thawing every Somers winter brings. Skipping proper excavation and compaction here is what tends to show up two or three years later as a dip, a bump, or a paver that's shifted out of line.
Walkways connecting older homes to newer additions
Somers properties that have added a garage, shop, or newer outbuilding often need a walkway connecting it back to the original house, and matching that path's material and grade to the existing layout takes some care on a lot that wasn't planned around it originally.
A patio built with the wind in mind lasts longer socially
A beautiful patio nobody sits on because it's uncomfortable most afternoons isn't really doing its job. We'd rather talk you into a smaller, better-placed patio than a bigger one in the wrong spot.
Choosing pavers that hold color through winter
Some paver finishes fade or discolor faster under repeated freeze-thaw cycling than others, and we steer clients toward material that's proven itself in this climate rather than whatever looks best in a catalog photo taken somewhere warmer.
Walk your lot with us and we'll show you where a patio actually makes sense, wind and all.
