Patio Builders for Custom Patios & Hardscapes

Great patios are the backdrop of a lot of lovely days outside. In some ways, a patio is a platform to hold chairs, but that’s a serious understatement. In reality, it’s more like the gathering point that the whole rest of the backyard is built around. As an experienced patio builder serving Suburban Boston, Archadeck designs and builds custom patios that complement your home and stand up to New England weather, giving you a durable base for entertaining, dining, and gathering. Depending on the project, a patio can fold in pavers, slabs, seating walls, fire features, and an outdoor kitchen. And it can all be made custom for you, designed to work as one space. 

Custom Patio Design & Installation

Professional patio design starts before the first paver goes down. We study your site, the size and shape that fit your yard, and how people move through the space. We're then able to plan out transitions from the back door or deck so it all feels continuous when you go outside.

Then there comes all the work of quality patio installation that matters so much and that you never see. We engineer drainage and grading to move water away from your foundation and keep the surface level for the long haul. We also tie the patio into your existing landscaping and any hardscape features you want. In the end, it will feel perfectly natural as if it was always in your backyard.

Choose the Right Pavers & Patio Materials

Nothing sets the tone of a patio quite like pavers. And you have many options to choose from so you’ll be able to find one with the right look and function for yours. Online pictures don’t do materials justice, so you can always see them in-person at our Burlington showroom so you can compare with a paver in each hand.

Often, we’ll work with Belgard pavers when available. But that’s far from your only option.

Lafitt® Grana Slab

Large-format slabs create a clean, streamlined surface with fewer joint lines. This is an excellent choice for homeowners who are seeking a sophisticated look that works in settings both modern and traditional.

Mega-Arbel® Patio Slab

For a more natural feel, Mega-Arbel brings flagstone-inspired shapes and organic variation to a custom patio. You can enjoy the look of natural stone with the consistency of an engineered paver.

Urbana® Stone

A modular paver system built for versatility, Urbana Stone offers multiple sizes and patterns. This allows us to tailor a contemporary patio and add visual interest through the layout.

Add Hardscape Features to Your Patio

Features are what make patios feel like outdoor rooms. Some of the more popular ones around here include sitting walls, raised areas, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and built-in seating. And all of these are even better when installed by a crew with serious hardscape design expertise.

Weston Stone® Universal Wall

You might add a wall purely for the purpose of retaining soil, but that’s far from the only value. Weston Stone Universal Wall can be used to build sitting walls that ring a gathering area or frame raised patios and fire pits. It’s a great way to define zones and make the space feel like it was made on purpose.

Belgard Elements™

To extend the patio into a full entertaining space, Belgard Elements offers coordinated options for outdoor kitchens and fire features. Because we design and build the patio and its features together, everything feels like one cohesive whole.

Create a Complete Backyard Gathering Space

Think of how all the pieces that go into patios. You could have paver and slab surfaces, sitting walls on one edge and a fire feature on another. You could even have an outdoor kitchen for hosting.

That’s a lot of moving parts, of course. You never need separate contractors for the patio, walls, lighting, and electrical. One team coordinates the whole build, so the patio connects cleanly to your deck, porch, pergola, and the rest of your outdoor living space.

Why Work With a Professional Patio Builder?

If you have been searching patio builder near me, the thing that sets the options apart is design plus construction expertise. Our Design Consultants hold degrees in architecture and bring more than three decades of local experience, a design-first process, and industry-leading warranties.

As a hardscape contractor that self-performs the work, we own the outcome from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. That is the difference between a patio installer and a patio builder who designs the whole space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best material for a patio?

It depends on your home's architecture, the look you want, maintenance preferences, budget, and use. We walk you through the options in person.

How much does a paver patio cost?

Cost varies with size, materials, site conditions, design complexity, and added features like walls or an outdoor kitchen. The best way to get an accurate estimate is by booking a free consultation.

What is the difference between a patio and a hardscape?

A patio is a defined outdoor surface. Hardscaping is the broader category, covering patios, walls, fire features, outdoor kitchens, and steps.

What are the benefits of using pavers for a patio?

Pavers offer durability, design flexibility, and a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns. They hold up well to New England freeze-and-thaw, and single units can be addressed if the surface ever needs attention.

Can a patio include a fire pit or outdoor kitchen?

Yes, and if you plan those alongside the patio from the start, you’ll be able to enjoy a much more cohesive result in the end.

Can Archadeck build more than the patio?

Absolutely. See patio ideas and finished work in our project gallery.
