A Design That Works for Your Backyard
No cookie-cutter templates here. We design patios that fit your existing space — whether that means wrapping around a garden, creating a multi-use layout, or complementing your home’s exterior.
Built for Michigan’s Seasons
Our patios are built to withstand heavy rains, freezing winters, and all the messy weather in between. With proper grading and a compacted base, your patio stays level, drains right, and holds up for the long haul.
See Samples in Person
We bring real material samples — from natural stone to textured concrete pavers — right to your property. You’ll get to see them in your lighting, in your space, and choose what truly fits.
Clear Pricing, No Guesswork
You’ll receive an itemized quote that shows exactly what you’re paying for — materials, labor, prep work, and any custom features. No mystery fees. No last-minute surprises.
Optional Add-Ons That Elevate the Space
Want outdoor lighting built into your seating wall? A fire pit for cool evenings? We can integrate it all into the design so your backyard becomes a space you’ll actually use — not just look at.
For Property Managers: Reliable Results Without Micromanaging
Managing multiple properties means you have enough on your plate without chasing down contractors. You need crews who show up when they say they will, stay on schedule, communicate clearly, and deliver quality work that holds up - with zero hand-holding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a patio installation usually take?
For most residential projects, we complete the job in 3 to 5 days, depending on the size, materials, and weather. Commercial installations may take longer, especially if we’re working in phases to reduce disruption.
Will I need a permit for my patio?
In many residential cases, no permit is needed, but it depends on the scope of work and your municipality. If a permit is required, we’ll handle the paperwork and ensure everything is up to code — especially for commercial properties.
Do you install patios year-round?
We work as long as the weather allows. Spring through fall is ideal, but some installations are possible in early winter. If you’re planning a summer event or need work done before the freeze, it’s best to schedule early.
Can you fix drainage issues while installing a patio?
Absolutely. Proper grading and drainage are part of every paver patio installation we do. If your current space collects water or has uneven slopes, we’ll address that during site prep so your new patio drains correctly.
What’s the difference between pavers and stamped concrete?
Pavers offer more flexibility, easier repairs, and a high-end look. Stamped concrete gives a decorative finish at a slightly lower cost but can be harder to repair if cracks develop. We install both and can walk you through what fits your property and budget best.
