A well-designed patio changes how you use your home. We create custom patios that feel intentional, functional, and built to be enjoyed for years — not just the first season.
A custom patio should feel intentional, durable, and well-integrated with the home. We design and install patios using proven construction methods and materials selected for long-term performance, not quick installs or surface-level work.
Paver patios offer clean lines, design flexibility, and reliable long-term performance. They’re a versatile option that works well with integrated features like steps, walkways, and seating walls
Bluestone and natural stone patios bring natural texture, subtle color variation, and lasting durability to outdoor spaces. Proper base preparation and installation ensure these patios perform as well as they look over time.
Many patio projects include integrated features such as seating walls, firepits, and stone accents. These elements are designed as part of the overall layout to improve function, flow, and long-term usability.

A beautiful patio is only as good as the ground beneath it. We don’t just lay stone; we engineer your property to ensure water flows away from your foundation and stays off your entertaining space.
We utilize advanced laser-leveling technology to ensure your patio features a “hidden pitch,” invisibly guiding water away from your home’s foundation and preventing hazardous pooling.
Say goodbye to ugly black plastic pipes across your lawn. We hard-pipe your home’s gutter system beneath the patio, terminating water into dedicated pop-up emitters or dry wells.
Pennsylvania clay is notorious for shifting. We install a multi-layered, compacted aggregate sub-base and use high-strength geotextile fabrics to prevent the “heaving” and “sinking” common in standard installations.
We specialize in permeable paver systems that manage stormwater runoff on-site—an essential feature for meeting strict “impervious surface” zoning requirements in townships like Lower Merion and Radnor.
For complex landscapes, we install sleek, low-profile drainage channels that blend seamlessly into your stonework, capturing heavy runoff before it ever reaches your backdoor.
We don’t just fix the patio area; we ensure the surrounding landscape is graded to prevent erosion, leaving your entire property drier and more functional than we found it.
If you’re considering a custom patio and want thoughtful design, clear expectations, and quality construction, we invite you to schedule a design consultation.
01
We start by understanding the property, grading, drainage, and how the space will be used before any materials are selected or work begins.
02
A patio is only as good as what’s underneath it. We excavate, compact, and build a stable base designed to prevent shifting, settling, and drainage issues.
03
We install pavers and natural stone chosen for durability, appearance, and compatibility with the home — laid with precision and attention to detail.
04
Edges, joints, and final grading are completed to ensure the patio performs the way it should season after season.

We specialize in custom paver patios and bluestone or natural stone patios. Many projects also include integrated features such as seating walls, firepits, steps, and transitions to other outdoor living areas.
Project timelines vary based on size, materials, site conditions, and integrated features. Most patio installations take anywhere from several days to a few weeks once construction begins, which is discussed during the planning phase.
We begin with a design consultation to understand the property, scope, and goals of the project before discussing pricing. This approach ensures accurate expectations and avoids surface-level estimates.
Paver patios offer consistent sizing, clean lines, and design flexibility, while bluestone and natural stone patios provide natural variation and a more timeless appearance. The right choice depends on the home, the property, and how the space will be used.
Yes. Proper site evaluation, excavation, base preparation, and drainage are critical to long-term patio performance. These steps are a core part of our process and are never treated as an afterthought.
Many patio projects involve grading or site adjustments. We regularly design and install patios on properties with slopes or grade changes, often incorporating retaining or site walls where needed.
