Patio Installation Process

Here's Exactly How We Build Your Patio

First, we meet at your property to discuss your vision, measure the space, and assess drainage and access. We’ll talk through material options – stone, concrete, or pavers – and show you what works best for your specific situation and budget.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most DIY projects and inexperienced contractors fail. We excavate to the proper depth, install appropriate base materials, and ensure proper grading for water runoff. No shortcuts here because this foundation determines whether your patio lasts five years or fifty.

Installation follows, whether we’re laying natural stone, pouring and finishing concrete, or setting pavers in precise patterns. We handle all the details – from edge restraints to joint sand to final sealing. You get a finished patio that’s ready to use, plus cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it.

Stone Concrete Paver Patios

Materials That Handle Pennsylvania Weather

Your patio installation includes everything needed for a permanent, professional result. We’re talking proper excavation, engineered base materials, appropriate drainage solutions, and installation techniques that account for our local climate.

Stone patios give you that natural, timeless look with materials like bluestone, flagstone, or fieldstone. Each piece is individually set and leveled for a custom appearance that complements your home’s architecture. Concrete patios offer versatility with options for stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or smooth finishes that can mimic more expensive materials.

Paver patios provide the best of both worlds – the look of individual stones with consistent sizing that creates clean lines and patterns. Plus, individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, something you can’t do with poured concrete. Whatever material you choose, you get proper edge restraints, joint filling, and sealing to protect your investment.

Patio installation costs vary based on size, materials, and site conditions, but you’re typically looking at $15-25 per square foot for concrete, $20-35 for pavers, and $25-45 for natural stone. A standard 12×16 patio runs $3,000-8,500 depending on your choices. The biggest cost factors are excavation requirements, drainage needs, and material selection. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific site because every property is different. Factors like access for equipment, existing landscaping, and soil conditions all affect the final price.
All three main options – concrete, pavers, and natural stone – can handle Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles when installed correctly. The key is proper base preparation and drainage, not just the surface material. Concrete is most affordable but can crack over time. Pavers offer good durability and individual pieces can be replaced if needed. Natural stone like bluestone is extremely durable and handles weather well, but costs more upfront. The “best” choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals. We’ll walk through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation.
Most patio installations take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one is usually excavation and base preparation. Days two and three involve setting materials and initial installation. Final details, cleanup, and sealing happen on the last day or two. Weather can extend timelines since we won’t pour concrete or set pavers in rain. Complex designs, challenging access, or extensive drainage work can add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if anything changes during the work.
Most basic patio installations in Marple don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. If your patio connects to the house structure, involves significant grading changes, or affects drainage patterns, you might need permits. Properties in flood zones or with HOA restrictions may have additional requirements. We’re familiar with Marple’s requirements and will let you know if permits are needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can handle the application process or work with you to get everything approved before starting work.
Maintenance depends on your material choice, but all patios need some basic care. Concrete patios should be sealed every few years and cleaned annually. Paver patios need occasional joint sand replacement and may require re-sealing depending on the paver type. Natural stone needs periodic cleaning and may need re-pointing of joints over time. All patios benefit from keeping them clear of debris and addressing drainage issues quickly. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines for your chosen materials and can handle ongoing maintenance if you prefer professional care.
We can install stone and paver patios year-round as long as the ground isn’t frozen and we’re not dealing with active precipitation. Concrete work is more weather-dependent and typically happens between April and November when temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Winter installations sometimes take longer due to shorter daylight hours and weather delays, but the quality isn’t compromised. If you’re planning a patio for next spring’s entertaining season, fall and winter are actually great times to get on the schedule since demand is lower and you’ll be ready when warm weather arrives.
