Patio Design and Construction · Chardon, Ohio
Custom Paver and StonePatio Installation
An undersized or uneven patio can limit outdoor dining, create drainage concerns, and leave your backyard without a comfortable gathering area. As a local patio builder, we plan each project around traffic flow, water movement, your surrounding landscape, and the way you want to use the space. Our crews install custom patios using pavers, natural stone, flagstone, slate, granite, and concrete finishes suited to Northeast Ohio weather.

One Coordinated PlanFor Your Property
We handle the design and build process, including site evaluation, grading, excavation, hardscape installation, and related landscape work. Our team can also incorporate retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, walkways, planting beds, and landscape lighting into one coordinated plan for your property.

Landscape Design and Build
A coordinated design connects your patio with your home, lawn, planting areas, walkways, and other outdoor features. We handle projects from the initial property evaluation through site preparation, installation, and finishing details.
Grading and Excavation
Sloped, rocky, or poorly draining ground may require preparation before new outdoor features can be installed. Excavation removes unsuitable material, while grading establishes contours that help manage runoff and erosion across your property.
Retaining Walls
Elevation changes can limit usable yard space and allow soil to wash away during heavy rain. Retaining walls help terrace sloped areas, manage erosion, and create flatter sections for seating, planting, and outdoor living.
Landscape Lighting
Your patio becomes harder to navigate and enjoy once daylight fades. Low-voltage lighting can illuminate gathering areas, walkways, steps, and nearby landscape features for safer evening use.
Planting Services
A new patio can feel exposed or disconnected without landscaping around its edges. Trees, shrubs, flowers, and planting beds soften the hardscape and help your finished space feel established within the property.
Landscape Maintenance
Plant beds and lawn areas surrounding your patio need routine care to retain their appearance after construction. Innovative Companies offers scheduled mowing and seasonal maintenance following installation.

Why It Is Worth Building
Benefits of aProfessionally Built Patio
A custom patio gives your backyard a defined purpose and makes outdoor time easier to enjoy. Thoughtful planning also addresses the practical concerns that affect comfort, upkeep, and long-term use.
Expanded Living Space
A backyard without a comfortable gathering area often goes unused, even when you have plenty of available room. A custom patio creates a dedicated place for meals, conversations, celebrations, and quiet evenings without adding onto your house.
More Enjoyable Time at Home
Uneven ground, muddy grass, and scattered furniture can make outdoor plans feel like extra work. A stable, organized patio keeps your space ready for grilling, dining, and relaxing whenever the weather cooperates.
Reduced Yard Maintenance
Grass beneath tables, grills, and seating areas becomes difficult to mow and can wear down into bare or muddy patches. A finished patio replaces that high-traffic section with a durable surface that requires less weekly attention.
Improved Property Appeal
An unfinished backyard can make your entire property feel incomplete and limit its appeal to future buyers. A patio adds a permanent outdoor feature that makes your home feel larger, more inviting, and better suited for entertaining.
Better Use of Challenging Ground
Slopes, drainage trouble, and erosion can prevent you from using parts of your yard comfortably. We can account for grading, excavation, retaining walls, and water movement as part of a coordinated design, creating a more dependable setting for your patio.

Patio BuilderFAQs
What materials can you use to build my patio?
We build patios using pavers, flagstone, slate, granite, other natural stone, and concrete. Concrete finish options listed on our website include stamped, colored, exposed aggregate, polished, and broom-finished surfaces.
How do you prepare my yard for a patio?
Preparation may include evaluating your site, excavating unsuitable material, establishing the required base, and grading the area for proper water movement. The exact process depends on your soil, slope, selected patio material, and nearby structures.
Can my patio project include a fire pit or outdoor kitchen?
Yes. We build fire pits and outdoor kitchens as part of our hardscape services and can plan them alongside seating, walkways, retaining walls, lighting, and planting areas.
How long will my patio construction take?
Your project schedule depends on the patio size, material, site access, excavation requirements, weather, and any additional features included in the plan. We can outline the expected construction sequence after reviewing your property and project scope.
