Paver Contractor in Anderson, SC
From established neighborhoods in town to lakefront homes on Lake Hartwell, Southern Pavers designs and builds durable, beautiful hardscapes engineered for Anderson County's red clay and rolling terrain — patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens.
Anderson sits in the southwest corner of the Upstate, where city neighborhoods give way to wide rural lots and the shoreline of Lake Hartwell. It's a part of South Carolina built for outdoor living — and Southern Pavers helps Anderson homeowners make the most of it. Whether you're refreshing a tired backyard off Clemson Boulevard, building a lakeside entertaining space near Townville, or upgrading a worn driveway in an established neighborhood, we bring the same care and craftsmanship to every project.
Joe leads every job personally, and our work is backed by a 4.9-star rating across 27 reviews from homeowners around Anderson and the wider Upstate. We're not a high-volume franchise rushing from site to site — we're a local crew that shows up, builds it right on the area's challenging clay soil, and stands behind the result.

Knowing the Ground
Anderson County sits in the southwest Upstate, hugging the eastern shore of Lake Hartwell along the Georgia line. That setting shapes the projects we build here. Many homeowners have lakefront or larger rural properties and want patios, pool decks, and full outdoor living spaces to take advantage of the water and the views — areas like Townville, Starr, and the neighborhoods off Clemson Boulevard and Highway 81 see a lot of this.
The terrain comes with real challenges. Anderson's signature red clay soil holds water and moves with moisture, which can crack poured concrete and undermine a patio that wasn't built on a proper base. Many lakeside lots are also sloped down toward the water, so grading, drainage, and engineered retaining walls often aren't optional — they're what keep a hardscape stable and a yard usable for years.
We build for that reality. Every project starts with deep excavation and a compacted aggregate base, slope and drainage engineered to carry our heavy spring rains away from your home, and the right pavers for our humid Southern climate. Across the mix of established in-town Anderson neighborhoods and the lake-area homes outside the city, that approach is what makes the difference between a hardscape that lasts and one that fails in a few seasons.

Most paver patios in the Anderson area run between $15 and $30 per square foot installed, depending on the paver line, patterns, site grading, and features like seating walls or fire pits. Driveways, pool decks, and retaining walls are priced by scope. After a free on-site visit, Joe gives you a clear written estimate with no surprises.
Anderson County's red clay holds water and many lake-area lots are sloped, so base prep and drainage are everything. We excavate to the right depth, build a compacted aggregate base, and engineer slope, edge restraint, and drainage so water moves away from your home and foundation instead of pooling or washing out. On steeper lots we add engineered retaining walls to hold grade.
