Most standard patios take 1–2 weeks, depending on size, access, and features. Add complexity—curves, multi-level patios, or a fire pit patio—and you may see an extra few days. Weather can shift sequencing, but we set realistic schedules and update you if the forecast changes our plan. Our goal is steady progress without cutting corners.

Budgets depend on area, materials, and site conditions. Interlocking pavers usually cost less than natural stone patios. Built-ins like seat walls, steps, or kitchens add cost but boost function and value. We provide a line-item proposal so you can scale scope up or down—no surprises, no vague “allowances.”

Yes—especially with low-maintenance patio solutions. Expect occasional sweeping, a rinse now and then, and polymeric sand touchups every few years. Sealing helps with stain resistance and color pop, but it’s optional. If a paver gets damaged, we replace just that piece. Modular design also makes future additions easier.

Drainage is everything. We build bases to shed water, add under-drains where needed, and daylight runoff away from the house. For sloped yards, multi-level patios and short retaining features manage elevation changes safely. Proper compaction and edge restraint are what keep your patio flat after heavy storms.

Both are excellent. Interlocking pavers offer consistent thickness, wide color options, and easy repairs. Natural stone patios bring unique texture and classic style. We’ll show samples side by side, explain performance and cost, and help you pick the look that fits your home and budget—no pressure.

Absolutely. We design for future backyard patio upgrades—running conduits during install, placing bases for future walls, and leaving tie-in points. That way you can add patio seating areas, path lights, or even a kitchen later without tearing up finished work.

Details. Correct excavation depth, geotextile when soils call for it, well-compacted base lifts, tight restraint, clean cuts, and joints vibrated in right. These steps aren’t flashy, but they’re why our patios stay level, drain well, and feel finished. We also keep job sites tidy and communicate daily.

Yes. Many Bristow neighborhoods require HOA review for patios, walls, or fire pit patios. We prepare drawings, specs, and samples to move approvals along and manage any county permitting that applies. You stay informed while we handle the paperwork.
