Patios

• Specializing in small to medium patios (100 to 1,000 sq. ft.), constructed with Bluestone or Flagstone , E.P. Henry and other brands of interlocking concrete pavers, and Brick.
• Patios and walks are blended into existing grade with a minimum of disturbance to surrounding lawns and gardens, and the proper pitch  (approximately 1½% to 2% grade) set to appear level and still drain water away from the house.
• Pennsylvania bluestone or flagstone comes in various shades of gray which may have tints of blue (bluestone), green, tan, brown, rust, and plum mixed with the gray.   We individually select the stones to insure quality and desired color range. Flagstone Patios
• Many of our customers have used E. P. Henry concrete pavers, but we also can use Imperial, Techo-Bloc, Cambridge, Belgard, Anchor, Hanover, Rinox, CST or any other brand of pavers. Installation is the same for all of the different brands. Paver Patios
• Clay Paving Brick offers permanent color and a centuries old classic look that has proven it can pass the test of time.  Many walks over 200 years old and still in good shape can be seen in older sections of Philadelphia.  Brick Patios

Steps & Landings

• We can construct steps and landings with many different materials.
• The height and length of the hill is measured to determine the number of steps, the height of each riser, and the length of each tread.
• Steps can be constructed with brick or flagstone on a concrete and cinder block foundation for steps that should last for generations.
  Bricks and flagstone as well as various colored bullnose pavers and different textured concrete wall caps could be used as treads on segmental retaining wall (SRW) risers.  They do not require a concrete foundation so they are more economical than masonry  steps.
• Click here to see best practices of good step construction as taught by the NCMA and used by the top Hardscapers and Landscapers on our Step Construction page. 
• Pressure treated softwood ties can also be used to make nice steps with six inch risers.  These step are the most economical.
• Ties can also be combined with brick or flagstone as the tread.

Landscape Design

• Proper placement of trees and shrubs is our first step.
• Plants are spaced to allow for future growth without overcrowding.
• Many factors are also considered such as leaf and flower color, fragrance, berries, texture and more.
• Good landscape design provides the framework to build on with seasonal color from perennials, annuals and bulbs.
• Whether commercial or residential, the design must consider which views are most important to the owner, (inside looking out, or outside the property looking in) which seasons are most important to the owner, and many other factors such as favorite plants and favorite colors.
