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).

Ground-level patios typically do not require a building permit in New Castle County. However, permits may be required if your patio includes retaining walls over 4 feet, electrical work (for lighting or outdoor kitchens), plumbing connections, or significant grading changes. ProDecks will advise you on permit requirements during the estimate process.

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.
