- Expanded Outdoor Living Space – Patios add functional square footage to your home, creating areas to cook, dine, lounge, play, garden and more. Well-planned patios feel like additional rooms.

- Low Maintenance – Proper installation and smart material selection, like pavers and sealed concrete, minimize maintenance. You spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your space.
Patio Installation Process
While timelines vary, you can expect the following patio construction phases:
Consultation
Our process begins with a personal consultation where we sit down to discuss your vision for the outdoor space. During this initial meeting, we assess your yard to understand its unique characteristics and potential. This is a crucial step where we explore various materials and layout options, considering factors such as durability, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. It’s an opportunity for you to express your desires and preferences, ensuring that the final layout aligns with your vision.
Design
Considering your home style, lifestyle, and budget, we create a tailored patio design plan for your approval. Our aim is to craft a space that not only complements your home but also reflects your personality. The design plan is presented for your approval, ensuring that you are completely satisfied before moving forward.
Permits
We submit required permits and ensure compliance with local regulations. Permit approval usually takes two to four weeks and is essential for ensuring that all construction work is compliant with local standards and regulations.
Site Prep
We layout, excavate, and level the area, removing any existing surfaces. This phase typically takes one to two days to complete.
Installation
Our artisans skillfully install your new patio over three to five days based on size and materials. During this phase, additional features such as steps, retaining walls, planter boxes, and other custom elements may be constructed to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your outdoor space.
Finishing
We complete any final decorative touches, grouting, sealing, and color staining for a cohesive finished look. Our attention to detail during this phase ensures that your patio not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time.
Inspection & Cleanup
The final phase is a comprehensive examination and walkthrough with you to ensure that every detail matches your standards. Following the inspection, our team conducts a comprehensive cleanup, removing all debris and leaving your yard in pristine condition, ready for you to enjoy your new outdoor living space.
Patio Materials
With our breadth of expertise, we’ll guide you in choosing the ideal patio material for your needs and preferences.
Natural Stone
Flagstone, travertine, blue stone, and other natural stone types create a classic, elegant look. The irregular shapes and earthy tones beautifully complement gardens and water features. Natural stone offers unique textures and appearance, but requires annual sealing and can be more expensive. However, it’s important to note that while natural stone adds undeniable beauty and value to any outdoor space, it does require annual sealing to maintain its appearance and longevity. Additionally, natural stone can be more costly than other materials due to its premium quality and the labor involved in its installation.
Pavers
Clay brick and concrete pavers bring a charming style to any patio. We create stunning patterns, textures, and colors by expertly arranging varied pavers. One of the advantages of pavers is their resistance to cracking, thanks to the interlocking design that accommodates ground movement. However, the gaps between pavers can become a breeding ground for weeds if not properly maintained with appropriate filling and sealing techniques. Despite this, pavers are a highly popular choice due to their affordability and the diverse range of looks they can achieve, making them suitable for both traditional and contemporary patio designs.
Concrete
Poured concrete is the most durable patio material. Its seamless surface can be shaped into any form. Concrete patios can last decades but require proper installation and sealing to prevent cracking long-term. The material is affordable and perfect for modern designs. When installed and sealed correctly, concrete patios can withstand the test of time, often lasting decades with minimal maintenance. Its affordability and adaptability make it an attractive option for creating a sleek, durable outdoor space that complements any home style.
Stamped Concrete
We imprint textures and patterns into concrete to mimic natural slate, stone, brick, and other elegant finishes. This achieves the visual appeal of natural materials with the durability and affordable cost of concrete. We match patterns to your home’s style. Whether you’re aiming for a rustic, traditional, or modern look, stamped concrete provides the flexibility to achieve your desired aesthetic without compromising on durability or affordability.
Porous Concrete & Pavers
For an eco-friendly patio, porous concrete and pavers allow rainwater to filter through. This reduces runoff and pooling. Perfect for patios surrounded by gardens and landscape elements, porous concrete provides permeability without compromising style. Opting for porous pavement means enjoying the dual benefits of contributing to environmental preservation while maintaining a stylish and functional outdoor space.
Artificial Grass
Whether you’re interested in a putting green, a low-maintenance green space, or a dedicated area for your pet to “go,” artificial grass–also known as artificial turf– for your patio is an excellent option. Many artificial turfs are realistic, durable, and incredibly low maintenance. The appeal of artificial grass lies in its minimal upkeep requirements, eliminating the need for watering, mowing, or fertilizing, which makes it an excellent choice for busy homeowners or those seeking an always-green patio space. Whether it’s enhancing a small balcony or a large outdoor living area, artificial grass can transform any patio into a vibrant, inviting retreat tailored to your specific lifestyle needs.
