Stone Paver Concrete Patios

Materials That Actually Last Here

We install three main types of patios, and each has advantages depending on your situation and budget.

Natural stone patios give you that high-end look that never goes out of style. Flagstone and bluestone are popular choices that handle our winters well. Concrete patios offer the most design flexibility – we can stamp patterns, add color, or create custom shapes that work perfectly with your landscape.

Paver patios hit the sweet spot for many homeowners. They look great, individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, and the variety of colors and patterns means your patio won’t look like everyone else’s. Plus, proper paver installation includes polymeric sand that prevents weeds and keeps everything locked in place.

Most patio installations take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend this timeline, especially during spring when rain is common. We excavate and prepare the base on day one, which is the messiest part. Material installation usually happens over the next 2-3 days. We don’t rush the process because proper base preparation and curing time are critical for a patio that lasts decades without settling or cracking.
All three main options – stone, concrete, and pavers – work well here if installed properly. The key is proper drainage and base preparation, not just the surface material. Natural stone like bluestone is extremely durable but costs more upfront. Concrete offers the most design options and handles freeze-thaw cycles well when properly mixed and cured. Pavers are great because individual pieces can be replaced if damaged, and they allow for slight movement without cracking.
It depends on the size and location of your patio. Generally, patios under 200 square feet don’t require permits, but larger installations or those affecting drainage patterns might need township approval. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. It’s better to check upfront than deal with compliance issues later, especially if you’re planning to sell your home in the future.
Patio costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and site conditions. Basic concrete patios start around $8-12 per square foot installed. Paver patios typically run $12-18 per square foot. Natural stone installations range from $15-25 per square foot depending on the stone type. These prices include proper excavation, base preparation, and installation. We provide detailed written estimates after seeing your specific site conditions and discussing your preferences.
Proper drainage is built into every patio we install. We grade the base to direct water away from your home’s foundation and install drainage systems when needed. This is especially important in Tinicum where clay soil doesn’t absorb water quickly. We also ensure the patio surface has appropriate slope – enough to shed water but not so much that furniture feels uneven. Poor drainage is the number one cause of patio failure, so we never cut corners on this aspect.
Yes, we actually solve drainage problems as part of many patio installations. We can install French drains, adjust grading, or create permeable patio surfaces that allow water to filter through. Sometimes a properly designed patio actually improves your yard’s drainage by directing water flow more effectively. We’ll assess your specific drainage challenges during the initial consultation and explain what options make sense for your situation and budget.
