Your backyard should be more than just a patch of grass – it should be an extension of your home where memories are made, meals are shared, and relaxation comes naturally. Yet for many homeowners, that unused outdoor space represents untapped potential, a daily reminder of what could be if only they had the right outdoor living area.
A professionally installed patio transforms underutilized yards into functional, beautiful spaces that increase both your quality of life and your property value. Whether you envision hosting summer barbecues, enjoying quiet morning coffee, or creating a play area for children, the right patio design brings your outdoor dreams to life.
Professional patio installation encompasses far more than simply laying pavers or pouring concrete. It’s a comprehensive process that begins with understanding your lifestyle needs and ends with a stunning outdoor space perfectly integrated with your home and landscape.
Our patio installation service includes initial consultation and design, site preparation and grading, drainage planning and implementation, material selection and sourcing, professional installation, and finishing touches that complete your outdoor living vision. We work with a variety of materials including natural stone, concrete pavers, stamped concrete, brick, and permeable paving systems, ensuring your patio not only looks exceptional but functions flawlessly for decades.
Problem: Your backyard sits empty and underutilized, forcing family gatherings indoors even on beautiful days. The grass gets muddy after rain, outdoor furniture sinks into soft ground, and there’s no defined space for entertaining or relaxing.
Solution: A professionally designed patio creates a stable, attractive foundation for outdoor living. With proper grading and drainage, your new patio remains usable year-round, providing a clean, level surface for furniture, grills, and gatherings regardless of weather conditions.
Problem: Many homeowners attempt patio installation themselves, only to face settling pavers, pooling water, weed growth between joints, and uneven surfaces that create trip hazards and require costly repairs.
Solution: Professional installation ensures proper base preparation, precise grading for water management, professional-grade polymeric sand to prevent weed growth, and expert techniques that prevent settling and shifting. Our experience prevents common pitfalls that plague DIY attempts.
Problem: You know you want an outdoor space but feel overwhelmed by material choices, size decisions, and design options. How large should it be? What materials work best? How do you ensure it complements your home?
Solution: Our design expertise takes the guesswork out of patio planning. We assess your space, understand your lifestyle needs, recommend appropriate materials for your climate and usage, and create a design that seamlessly integrates with your home's architecture and landscape.
Your patio journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss your vision, assess your space, and understand how you plan to use your outdoor area. We’ll evaluate existing conditions including drainage patterns, soil type, sun exposure, and proximity to your home. Using this information, we create a custom design that maximizes your space while addressing any site-specific challenges.
The key to a lasting patio lies beneath the surface. Our team excavates to the proper depth, installs a compacted gravel base for stability, addresses any drainage concerns with appropriate grading or drainage systems, and creates the perfect foundation for your chosen materials. This crucial phase ensures your patio remains level and stable for years to come.
With the foundation prepared, our skilled craftsmen install your chosen materials with precision. Whether laying intricate paver patterns, creating smooth stamped concrete surfaces, or setting natural stone, we maintain strict quality standards throughout installation. We complete the project with proper joint filling, sealing if required, and careful cleanup, leaving you with a stunning patio ready for immediate enjoyment.
Concrete Pavers: Available in countless colors, shapes, and textures, pavers offer versatility and durability. They're ideal for creating patterns, are easy to repair if damaged, and provide excellent value. Choose from traditional brick patterns to modern large-format designs.
Natural Stone: For unmatched beauty and uniqueness, natural stone like flagstone, bluestone, or travertine creates stunning patios with organic appeal. Each piece is unique, offering natural color variations and textures that age beautifully over time.
Stamped Concrete: Achieve the look of stone or brick at a lower cost with stamped concrete. This option provides seamless surfaces ideal for modern designs, can be colored and textured to match any aesthetic, and offers excellent durability with proper sealing.
Permeable Pavers: Environmentally conscious homeowners choose permeable systems that allow water to filter through, reducing runoff and recharging groundwater. These systems help manage stormwater while providing all the benefits of traditional paving.
Size and Shape: From intimate bistro-sized patios to expansive entertainment areas, we design patios to fit your space and needs. Shapes range from classic rectangles to organic curves that flow with your landscape.
Multi-Level Designs: Sloped yards benefit from terraced patio designs that create distinct areas for dining, lounging, or cooking while managing grade changes beautifully.
Integrated Features: Enhance your patio with built-in fire pits, seating walls, outdoor kitchens, water features, or pergolas for shade. These additions transform simple patios into complete outdoor living rooms.
The moment your patio is complete, your lifestyle expands. Outdoor dining becomes a regular occurrence, not a special event. Children have a safe, clean place to play. Your home gains a natural gathering space that draws family and friends outdoors. Morning coffee tastes better on your private patio, and evening relaxation takes on new meaning under the stars.
A professionally installed patio offers one of the best returns on investment in home improvement. Real estate professionals consistently note that quality outdoor living spaces significantly increase home appeal and value. Unlike interior renovations that may not suit every buyer's taste, a well-designed patio adds universal appeal.
With proper installation and drainage, your patio remains functional throughout the seasons. Spring rains won't create puddles, summer heat won't cause buckling, fall leaves are easily swept away, and winter freezes won't crack or shift properly installed materials. This durability means your investment continues paying dividends year after year.
Unlike wooden decks that require regular staining or grass that needs constant mowing, a quality patio requires minimal maintenance. Occasional sweeping, annual joint sand touch-ups, and periodic sealing (depending on materials) keep your patio looking fresh with minimal effort, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space.
Safety Concerns: Uneven surfaces, deteriorating concrete, or makeshift solutions creating trip hazards require immediate attention to prevent injuries.
Water Issues: If water pools near your foundation after rain or your yard becomes a swamp, a properly graded patio can redirect water while providing usable space.
Special Events: An upcoming wedding, graduation party, or family reunion provides the perfect deadline for finally creating that outdoor entertainment space you’ve always wanted.
With over 40 years of combined experience in landscape construction, we’ve installed every type of patio imaginable. From simple paver patios to elaborate outdoor living spaces with multiple features, our team brings deep expertise to every project. We’ve solved complex drainage issues, worked with challenging slopes, and created stunning designs that exceed expectations.
Unlike contractors who simply install pavers, we approach each patio as part of your complete outdoor environment. We consider how your patio integrates with existing landscaping, how it relates to your home's architecture, and how additional features might enhance functionality. Our comprehensive approach ensures your patio feels like a natural extension of your home, not an afterthought.
We never cut corners on the elements you can't see. While others might skimp on base preparation or drainage, we know these hidden factors determine whether your patio lasts five years or fifty. Our commitment to quality extends from the initial excavation through the final sealed paver, ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
Understanding local climate conditions, soil types, and weather patterns is crucial for successful patio installation. Our team knows exactly how to address regional challenges like clay soil expansion, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall. This local knowledge, combined with our technical expertise, ensures your patio performs beautifully in all conditions.
Professional patio installation represents a significant but valuable investment in your home and lifestyle. Costs vary based on several factors:
Size and Scope: Larger patios require more materials and labor, but the cost per square foot often decreases with size. A basic 200-square-foot patio costs less than an 800-square-foot entertainment area with multiple zones.
Material Selection: Your choice of materials significantly impacts cost. Concrete pavers offer excellent value, while natural stone commands premium pricing. Stamped concrete falls in the middle range. We help you select materials that fit your budget while achieving your desired aesthetic.
Site Conditions: Level yards with good drainage cost less to prepare than sloped sites requiring retaining walls or extensive grading. Accessibility also affects pricing – materials hand-carried to backyard locations cost more to install than those easily accessed by equipment.
Additional Features: Built-in elements like fire pits, seating walls, or outdoor kitchens add value but increase investment. These features often provide the best return on investment by creating truly special outdoor spaces.
Investment Ranges: While every project is unique, most quality patio installations range from $15-50 per square foot installed, depending on the factors above. This investment typically returns 30-60% in immediate home value increase, plus years of lifestyle enjoyment.
Consider the true value of professional installation: years of enjoyment without maintenance headaches, increased home value that often exceeds installation cost, prevention of water damage through proper grading, and the peace of mind that comes with quality workmanship. When compared to the cost of repeated DIY repairs or the lost opportunity of an unusable yard, professional installation proves its worth quickly.
Most patio installations complete within 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation, installation, and cleanup. Weather can affect timeline, but we communicate any delays promptly.
All quality materials perform well when properly installed. Concrete pavers offer the best combination of durability, aesthetics, and value for most homeowners. Natural stone provides unmatched beauty, while permeable pavers excel in managing stormwater. We’ll recommend options based on your specific needs and preferences.
Proper drainage is critical to patio success. We grade all patios to direct water away from your home, install drainage systems when necessary, and use permeable joint materials that allow water infiltration while preventing weed growth.
Absolutely. Sloped yards often benefit most from professional patio installation. We use retaining walls, terracing, or creative grading solutions to create level entertaining areas while managing elevation changes beautifully.
Quality patios require minimal maintenance. Plan on sweeping regularly, refreshing joint sand every 2-3 years, and sealing surfaces every 3-5 years depending on material. We provide specific care instructions for your chosen materials.

Yes, we excel at integrating new patios with existing hardscaping. Whether matching materials, complementing styles, or creating seamless transitions, we ensure your new patio enhances your overall landscape design.
Our professional installation techniques minimize settling, but if issues arise, quality paver systems allow for easy repair. Unlike concrete slabs that require complete replacement, individual pavers can be lifted, the base corrected, and pavers reset.
Sloped properties often benefit from retaining walls that create level patio areas while adding visual interest and seating options.
