Outdoor Patios—Built Flat, Poured Solid

We install outdoor patios that don’t crack, sink, or hold puddles. Whether it’s for a backyard setup or a side yard connection, our patios are built with proper grading, compaction, and formwork from start to finish.

Outdoor Fireplaces—Form, Function, and Flame

An outdoor fireplace isn’t just a feature—it’s a centerpiece. We build custom outdoor fireplaces with solid bases and clean designs so they don’t just look good; they last through heat, cold, and years of use.

Safe, Stable Construction

Every fireplace starts with a reinforced concrete base. No shifting, no cracking, no leaning over time.

Simple Styles That Make Sense

We don’t do flashy designs that don’t work. Our builds are made to match your yard, your seating area, and how you’ll actually use the space.

Heat-Ready and Weather-Resistant

Materials are rated for high heat and outdoor exposure. That means fewer repairs and more fire nights.

Built-In or Standalone

Whether it’s connected to a patio or placed on its own, we make sure your fireplace is ready to go without extra prep or hassle.

Start With the Right Foundation

Most hardscape problems come from what’s under the surface. Soft soil, poor drainage, or rushed grading can ruin even a great pour. That’s why we take the time to do it right—dig deep, compact tight, and build it to last.

Grading and Site Prep

No matter the job, we get the ground right first. That means fewer cracks and no standing water.

Reinforced Concrete Where It Counts

We use rebar or mesh where needed to help your patio or fireplace stay in place for years, even with heavy use.

Clean Finishes and No Mess

We finish every job with a full cleanup. No leftover debris, no form marks, and no jagged edges.

Pro Tips—Get More From Your Hardscape

1.    Seal your patio every few years to protect it from stains and sun damage.

2.    Plan for shade—patios last longer when not exposed to full sun all day.

3.    Avoid fire pits on standard patios without heat protection.

4.    Think about traffic flow—how people will walk to and from the area.

5.    Water runoff matters—patios should drain away from your house.

FAQs—Common Hardscape Questions

  • Do you only work with concrete?

    Yes. We only use concrete for our hardscapes, including patios and fireplace bases.

  • Can I add on to an existing patio?

    If the structure is solid, yes. We’ll check for cracks or shifting before tying in new concrete.

  • Do you offer stamped or decorative finishes?

    Only if the surface and slope allow for it. We prioritize durability over design features.

  • What size fireplaces do you build?

    We build outdoor fireplaces based on your space, code requirements, and safety. Nothing too small, nothing oversized.

  • Will weather delay the work?

    Heavy rain can slow pouring schedules. We’ll communicate any delays clearly and adjust without cutting corners.

Patios and Fireplaces That Get Used, Not Just Looked at

We don’t build showpieces. We build concrete hardscapes that get walked on, sat on, and fired up without breaking down. If you want a clean space for outdoor living, we’re the ones to call.
