The best time of year to install a stone deck depends on the materials and method used. If you are using
outdated techniques of excavation and building a granular base, you’ll need to wait until the weather
warms and the risk of frost has passed. You can build almost year-round if you choose a more modern
method of relying on a footing base rather than a granular base. We recommend using products like
SilcaGrate, Paverdeck Plank or a pedestal system, eliminating the need to plan around ground
temperature.
