If you need a place to spend summer or fall evenings around a blazing fire pit or a complement to your walking pathways, our contractors for outdoor patios will utilize a persistent, stress-free approach to find the right solution for you!
With almost 20 years in business, we’re confident we can handle every aspect of the process.
While it might not seem like a big deal to some people, installing well-designed patios and walkways can provide a host of advantages in both the short- and long-term.
Walkways can significantly add to your home’s curb appeal, which helps to make a memorable impression on visitors. They can be customized to fit in with your house’s style and landscaping so you’re left with one cOhioesive package. They also improve the flow of your outdoor space, as they can connect driveways, entryways, patios, porches, and other elements of the home.
Patios not only serve as extensions of your living spaces but also significantly increase your home’s entertainment and socializing potential. Hold cookouts, tell stories by the fire or host parties — you’ll be living in an attractive and viable space to do them all! Not only does that positively affect you, but it also affects your house’s overall worth, too.
You can’t put a firm price on the monetary value that well-designed, practical walkways and patios bring to a potential property sale, as they leave immediately favorable impressions on prospective buyers.
On top of it all, these architectural improvements are designed to be durable and easy to maintain, so you’ll be able to enjoy them without always being worried about cleanup and repairs.
We started as a small landscaping maintenance firm over 20 years ago, but now we’ve expanded to offer a vast selection of services to suit your every request, big or small. When you choose our custom patio and walkway design services, you’ll receive sales assistance, in-depth planning and design, intricate surveying and full installation.
Here are the services that we offer:
Patio installation costs vary based on the size of the project, materials selected, and site conditions. Paver patios, stone walkways, and stamped concrete each come at different price points, and features like fire pits, seating walls, or landscape lighting will also affect the total. Because every property is different, we provide free on-site consultations so we can give you an accurate quote tailored to your project. Request your free estimate to get started.
Most residential patio installations take between one and three weeks, depending on the scope of work. A straightforward paver walkway may be completed in just a few days, while a larger project with multiple features — like an outdoor kitchen area or connected walkway system — will take longer. Our team handles every step from planning and design through surveying and full installation, and we’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
Paver patios are built with interlocking bricks or blocks that come in many colors and shapes, making them highly versatile and easy to repair if a single piece is damaged. Stone patios and walkways use natural flagstone or similar materials for a more organic look and can also help reduce foot traffic on your lawn. Concrete patios (including stamped concrete) offer a cost-effective, durable surface that can be textured or colored to mimic stone or brick. As ICPI-certified installers, we ensure every project starts with a properly constructed base regardless of the material you choose.
In most cases, a standard ground-level patio does not require a building permit in the Columbus area. However, permits may be needed if the project involves significant grading, retaining walls above a certain height, electrical work for lighting, or structures like pergolas or covered patios. Requirements can also vary between municipalities like Dublin, Westerville, and Powell. During your consultation, we’ll let you know if your specific project needs any permits.
One of the biggest benefits of a professionally installed patio is that maintenance is minimal. Paver patios may need occasional re-sanding of the joints and can be sealed every few years to maintain their color. Natural stone requires similar upkeep and may benefit from periodic sealing depending on the stone type. Concrete patios are the lowest-maintenance option — periodic cleaning and resealing every few years keeps them looking great. All materials are designed to be durable and long-lasting, so you can enjoy your outdoor space without constant upkeep.
Their paver work was some of the best that I have seen. They built a very strong base by compacting a few inches at a time. They had much of the back paver wall up when they noticed that it was off by about 1/4". They ripped it all out and started over. We were very impressed with their workmanship and follow-through.
