Patio Design &
Installation in
New Castle, Delaware

Patio area, material, excavation, base preparation, drainage, access and added features affect the total. Request a written estimate for your property rather than treating a general per-square-foot figure as a quote.

Concrete pavers are the best all-around choice for Delaware patios. They handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete (individual pavers flex without cracking), drain well, and come in hundreds of colors and patterns. For a premium look, bluestone and natural flagstone are excellent choices. Stamped concrete offers a budget-friendly alternative with good durability.

Most residential patio installations take 3-7 days. A simple 200 sq ft paver patio can be completed in 3-4 days. Larger patios, those requiring significant grading or drainage work, and projects with features like fire pits or seating walls take 5-10 days. Stamped concrete requires additional curing time (3-7 days before use).

For work under New Castle County rules, non-structural patios and decorative hardscaping no more than 30 inches above grade are listed as exempt from building permits. Other work and zoning restrictions may still apply. Check the jurisdiction, grading, utilities and proposed features before work begins.

Absolutely! Fire pits and outdoor kitchens are among our most popular patio features. We build custom fire pits (gas or wood-burning), outdoor kitchen islands with built-in grills and countertops, seating walls, pizza ovens, and more. These features transform your patio into a true outdoor living space. Gas fire pits require a plumber for the gas line, which we coordinate.
