Slab on Pedestal Systems

Slab-on-pedestal systems provide an innovative solution for creating elevated, level outdoor surfaces without extensive groundwork. By supporting hydrapressed slabs or large porcelain tile on adjustable pedestals, this method allows for easy drainage and access beneath the surface while protecting the integrity of your landscape. Slab-on-pedestal installations are perfect for rooftop patios and as an alternative to traditional vinyl decks, delivering a clean, modern look that’s both practical and visually appealing.

We chose David (Lone Wolf) for our cement paver patio after thorough research, and it was the best decision. He listens carefully, delivers exceptional workmanship, and leads a professional, friendly team. Our perfectionist family and neighbors were genuinely impressed. We highly recommend his honest, high-quality service and commitment.

Dave completed our gazebo brickwork and later redesigned our driveway hardscaping with outstanding results. His craftsmanship, communication, and attention to detail were exceptional. He respected our budget, offered valuable suggestions, and treated the project like his own home. We highly recommend Lone Wolf and would gladly hire him again.

Deb Oakley

We couldn’t be more impressed with Dave and his team. Our project had difficult access and no clear plan going in. After meeting with Dave and sharing a general idea of what we wanted, he put together a rough design, a realistic budget, and a solid plan to get it done. The final result completely blew us away, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Dave and his team for all your hardscaping needs, you won’t be disappointed!

Josh Meyer

I had Dave work on my yard and I’m over the moon happy with the outcome. The masonary wall he created grabs your attention and is always commented on by friends. I’ll be asking him to do my front yard next summer. Thanks Dave!!

FAQs

How long does a slab on pedestal installation take?

Most residential projects take one to three days depending on square footage and site conditions. Larger or rooftop installations may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your estimate.

Yes. Pedestal systems are ideal for elevated surfaces because they’re lightweight, protect the waterproof membrane, and allow water to drain freely underneath the slabs.

Individual slabs can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the surrounding surface, and pedestals can be re-adjusted to correct any settling. Our 3-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself.

Material costs are often higher, but installation is faster and requires no mortar, less excavation, and minimal base preparation. Over time, the easy access for repairs and drainage benefits can make it a cost-effective choice.
