Patio Installation Process

Here's Exactly How Your Project Happens

First, we come out to look at your space and talk through what you want. No high-pressure sales pitch – just an honest conversation about what’s possible with your yard, your budget, and your timeline. We measure everything, check drainage, and discuss material options that make sense for your property.

Next comes the detailed estimate. You’ll know exactly what materials we’re using, how long the project takes, and what the total cost is before any work starts. No surprises or change orders unless you decide you want something different.

The actual installation starts with proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most DIY projects and cheap contractors fail. We dig to the right depth, install proper drainage, and create a compacted base that won’t settle or shift. Then comes your chosen material – stone, concrete, or pavers – installed with the attention to detail that keeps everything looking good for decades.

Clean-up happens as we go, and we walk through the finished project with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.

Stone Concrete Paver Patios

Multiple Materials, One Standard of Quality

Whether you want natural stone, stamped concrete, or interlocking pavers, the foundation work stays the same. Every patio installation gets proper excavation, drainage consideration, and a compacted base that prevents settling and cracking.

Stone patios give you that high-end look with materials that age beautifully. Concrete patios offer versatility in design and color with lower maintenance requirements. Paver patios provide the best of both worlds – attractive, durable, and repairable if individual sections ever need attention.

We handle all the details you might not think about but definitely notice when they’re done wrong. Proper slope for water runoff. Edge restraints that keep everything in place. Joint sand or sealers that prevent weeds and shifting. The small things that separate professional installation from weekend warrior attempts.

You also get guidance on what works best for your specific situation. If your yard has drainage challenges, we’ll recommend solutions. If you’re working with a tight budget, we’ll show you how to get the most value. If you want something unique, we’ll figure out how to make it happen.

Most patio installations take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. Simple concrete patios might be done in 2-3 days, while elaborate stone or paver designs with multiple levels or curves can take a week. Weather affects the timeline since we can’t pour concrete or set pavers in heavy rain. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is not rushing the base preparation – that’s what determines whether your patio lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Concrete patios are typically the most budget-friendly option and can be stamped or colored for visual appeal. They’re durable but can crack over time and repairs are more noticeable. Stone patios offer natural beauty and character but cost more upfront. Natural stone handles freeze-thaw cycles well and actually looks better as it ages. Paver patios fall in the middle for cost but offer the most flexibility – individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, and there are countless design options. All three can last decades when installed properly with good drainage and base preparation.
Most basic patio installations don’t require permits in Aston, but there are exceptions. If your patio connects to the house structure, involves electrical work for lighting, or significantly changes drainage patterns, you might need permits. Patios over a certain size or height may also require approval. We handle permit research and applications when needed – it’s part of doing the job right. The township is usually reasonable to work with, and having proper permits protects you if you ever sell the house or need insurance claims related to the outdoor space.
Properly installed patios shouldn’t have significant cracking or settling issues. The key is in the foundation work – adequate excavation depth, proper drainage, and a well-compacted base. Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause problems with poorly installed patios, but good preparation prevents most issues. Concrete patios may develop hairline cracks over many years, which is normal and usually not structural. Stone and paver patios handle ground movement better because they’re not one solid piece. We warranty our workmanship because we’re confident in our installation methods.
Patio installation costs vary widely based on size, materials, and site conditions. Basic concrete patios might start around $8-12 per square foot, while high-end stone installations can run $20-30+ per square foot. Most homeowners in Aston spend between $3,000-$8,000 for a typical backyard patio. Factors that affect price include excavation requirements, drainage needs, material choices, and design complexity. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Remember that quality installation costs more upfront but saves money long-term by avoiding repairs and replacements.
Maintenance requirements depend on your patio material. Concrete patios need occasional cleaning and may benefit from sealing every few years to prevent stains and weather damage. Stone patios require minimal maintenance – mainly keeping joints clean and occasionally replacing joint sand. Paver patios need periodic cleaning and joint sand replacement, plus sealing every 3-5 years if you want to maintain color vibrancy. All patios benefit from keeping drainage areas clear and addressing any settling issues quickly. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines for your installation and can handle ongoing maintenance if you prefer professional service.
