You get a patio that handles Pennsylvania weather without cracking or settling. Materials that look good year after year. A space designed around how you actually want to use it, not some cookie-cutter approach that works for everyone and no one.

Glenolden Patio Contractor

We Know Delaware County Backyards

We’ve been handling patio installations throughout Glenolden and Delaware County for years. We understand the soil conditions here, the drainage challenges that come with our terrain, and exactly what materials hold up best through our winters.

You’re not getting a crew that learned their trade somewhere else and hopes it translates. We’ve solved the same problems your neighbors face. We know which shortcuts cause headaches down the road and which details make the difference between a patio that lasts five years and one that lasts decades.

Patio Design and Build Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we’ll walk your property and talk through what you want this space to do for you. Entertainment? Quiet mornings? Family gatherings? The design follows the function, not the other way around.

Then we handle the technical stuff – proper excavation, base preparation, drainage solutions. This is where most problems start or get prevented. We do it right the first time because fixing foundation issues later costs everyone more money and time.

Installation comes next, whether you’ve chosen stone, concrete, or pavers. Every piece gets set with attention to both how it looks today and how it’ll perform ten years from now. We clean up completely and walk you through maintenance basics that’ll keep everything looking sharp.

Stone Concrete Paver Installation

Materials That Actually Last Here

We work with stone, concrete, and paver options because different situations call for different solutions. Stone gives you that natural look that ages beautifully. Concrete offers clean lines and can be customized with colors and textures. Pavers provide flexibility and easy repairs if needed.

What matters more than the material is the foundation underneath. Proper excavation, the right base materials, correct drainage – this is where your investment gets protected. We’ve seen too many beautiful patios fail because someone skipped steps to save time or money upfront.

Every installation includes proper grading to move water away from your home’s foundation. We’re not just building you a patio; we’re solving drainage issues before they become basement problems.

How long does a typical patio installation take to complete?

Most patio installations take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one is excavation and base preparation – the foundation work that determines how well your patio performs long-term. Days two and three involve setting materials and making sure everything is level and properly aligned. Final day covers cleanup, sealing if needed, and walking you through basic maintenance. Weather can add a day or two, especially if we get heavy rain during base preparation. We’d rather wait for proper conditions than rush through steps that affect the final result.

What's the difference between concrete, stone, and paver patios?

Concrete gives you clean, modern lines and can be colored or textured to match your home’s style. It’s durable and cost-effective, but if it cracks, you’re looking at more involved repairs. Stone offers natural beauty that improves with age, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and gives you that timeless look that works with any architectural style. Pavers provide the most flexibility – individual pieces mean easy repairs, lots of pattern options, and you can even change the design later if needed. The best choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you want the space to look in ten years.

How do you handle drainage issues during patio installation?

Drainage is built into every installation from the ground up. We grade the base so water moves away from your house foundation, typically with a slope of about 1/4 inch per foot. If your yard has specific drainage challenges, we’ll install additional solutions like French drains or adjust the patio elevation to work with your property’s natural water flow. Poor drainage is the number one cause of patio failure – settling, cracking, ice damage in winter. We’ve seen too many patios that looked great for two years then started having problems because drainage was an afterthought instead of a priority.

Will my patio crack during Pennsylvania winters?

Properly installed patios handle our freeze-thaw cycles without major issues. The key is foundation work – correct excavation depth, proper base materials, and adequate drainage to prevent water from sitting underneath and expanding when it freezes. Stone and pavers have natural flexibility that accommodates ground movement better than solid concrete slabs. We use installation techniques specifically designed for Pennsylvania’s climate, including base materials that drain well and don’t shift with temperature changes. Most winter damage happens to patios that were installed without proper base preparation or adequate drainage solutions.

How much does professional patio installation typically cost?

Patio installation costs vary based on size, materials, and site conditions, but most projects fall between $15-30 per square foot installed. Concrete patios are typically the most budget-friendly option, natural stone costs more but offers unique beauty and longevity, and pavers fall somewhere in the middle with good durability and design flexibility. Complex drainage solutions, significant excavation, or challenging access can affect pricing. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The investment makes sense when you consider how much you’ll use the space and the value it adds to your property.

Do I need permits for patio installation in Glenolden?

Most basic patio installations don’t require permits in Glenolden, but regulations can vary based on size, location relative to property lines, and whether you’re making changes that affect drainage patterns. We’re familiar with local requirements and will let you know if your project needs permits during the initial consultation. If permits are required, we can handle the application process or guide you through it. It’s always better to check upfront than deal with issues later. We’ve worked throughout Delaware County long enough to know which projects trigger permit requirements and which don’t.
