Should drainage be addressed before a new patio?

Often, yes. If water already collects where the patio will go, it's usually better to plan grading and drainage at the same time so the new surface doesn't create or hide a problem.

Can a patio be part of a larger project?

Yes. Many of our hardscape projects are built alongside retaining walls, planting, irrigation, lighting or an outdoor kitchen, so the pieces are planned in the right order.

Patios, Pavers and Hardscapes Built for How You Use the Yard.

A patio or walkway is only as good as what's underneath it and how water moves around it.

We build patios, paver areas, walkways, steps and masonry for homeowners in Concord and nearby communities, and we plan them around the grades, drainage and landscape they connect to.

Common site symptoms and structural requirements that lead to this scope:

You don't have a usable place to sit or gather outside.

An older patio has settled, cracked or started holding water.

Getting from the house to the yard, driveway or dock is awkward.

You want the outdoor space to match the quality of the home.

How We Approach It

Our systematic engineering and installation sequence:

01We look at elevations and water flow before we set a finished surface.

02We plan base preparation for the soil and use the area will get.

03We connect the hardscape to planting, lighting and any outdoor living features planned now or later.
