Finally, An Outdoor Space Worth Using

Your backyard should be more than just grass you mow every weekend. A properly designed and installed patio gives you that extra room you’ve been wanting without the cost of a home addition.

Picture stepping out your back door onto a beautiful stone or paver surface that’s level, stable, and ready for whatever you have planned. Morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or just a quiet place to unwind after work. No more dealing with muddy grass or uneven ground that makes outdoor furniture wobble.

The right patio installation does more than look good. It solves the practical problems that keep you from actually enjoying your yard. Proper drainage means no more standing water. Quality materials mean no more shifting or settling that creates trip hazards. And a design that complements your home means an investment that pays back in both daily enjoyment and property value.

We Know Delaware County Soil and Weather

We’ve been installing patios throughout Delaware County for years. We understand how Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles affect outdoor installations and what it takes to build something that lasts.

Every patio project starts with proper site preparation. That means understanding your soil conditions, drainage patterns, and how water moves around your property. These aren’t details you can skip if you want results that look good five years from now.

We’re not the crew that shows up, lays some pavers, and disappears. You’ll work with the same team from design through completion, and we’ll be here if you need anything down the road.

Patio Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens, Step by Step

First, we’ll meet at your property to discuss what you’re looking for and assess your space. We’ll talk about size, materials, drainage considerations, and how the patio will connect to your existing landscape and home.

Next comes the design phase where we create a plan that works with your budget and your yard’s specific conditions. We’ll show you material options and explain why certain choices make sense for your situation. No pressure, just information so you can make the right decision.

Installation starts with excavation and proper base preparation. This foundation work determines how well your patio performs long-term. We install the base materials, ensure proper drainage, and then place your chosen surface material whether that’s natural stone, concrete pavers, or poured concrete.

The final step includes cleanup, a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations, and care instructions so you know how to maintain your new outdoor space.

Stone Paver Concrete Patios

Materials That Actually Work in Pennsylvania

We install three main types of patios, each with specific advantages depending on your needs and budget. Natural stone patios offer unique character and excellent durability, with materials like bluestone and flagstone that complement traditional Delaware County home styles.

Concrete paver patios provide consistent appearance with excellent flexibility for our climate’s freeze-thaw cycles. Pavers can be replaced individually if needed and come in numerous colors and patterns to match your home’s architecture.

Poured concrete patios offer the most cost-effective solution and can be enhanced with stamping, coloring, or texturing for additional visual appeal. Modern concrete techniques create surfaces that are both functional and attractive.

Every installation includes proper excavation, compacted base material, appropriate edge restraints, and attention to drainage details that prevent water problems. We also handle any necessary grading to ensure water flows away from your home and doesn’t pool on the patio surface.

Most patio installations take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Days two and three typically cover base material installation and compaction. The final days involve placing your surface material and finishing details. Weather can affect timing, especially during base preparation when we need dry conditions for proper compaction. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated if anything changes.
Concrete pavers offer consistent size, color, and thickness, making installation more predictable and often less expensive. They’re manufactured to tight tolerances and come in many styles. Natural stone provides unique character with variations in color and texture that many homeowners prefer. Stone typically costs more but offers a premium appearance. Both materials perform well in Pennsylvania’s climate when properly installed. Your choice often comes down to budget, desired appearance, and how the material complements your home’s existing features.
Most basic patio installations don’t require permits in Aldan, but requirements can vary based on size, location, and proximity to property lines or existing structures. We’re familiar with local requirements and will let you know if permits are needed for your specific project. If permits are required, we can help with the application process. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with issues later, especially if your patio connects to existing structures or involves significant grading changes.
Proper drainage starts with site evaluation to understand how water currently moves around your property. We grade the patio surface to direct water away from your home and create positive drainage in all areas. Base preparation includes appropriate slope and sometimes drainage systems if needed. For paver installations, we use permeable base materials that allow water infiltration. The goal is ensuring water moves efficiently away from both your patio and your home’s foundation without creating problems elsewhere in your yard.
Maintenance requirements depend on your material choice, but all properly installed patios are relatively low maintenance. Stone and paver patios benefit from occasional cleaning and re-sanding of joints every few years. Concrete patios may need periodic sealing depending on the finish. All patios should be kept clear of debris and checked annually for any settling or drainage issues. We’ll provide specific care instructions for your installation and materials. Most homeowners find patio maintenance much easier than caring for grass or garden beds in the same space.
Patio installation costs vary significantly based on size, materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Basic concrete patios start at one price point, while natural stone installations cost more due to material and labor requirements. Site preparation needs also affect pricing – simple, level sites cost less than areas requiring significant excavation or drainage work. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific situation. This approach ensures you get accurate pricing rather than broad ranges that don’t reflect your actual project requirements.
