Beyond Boring, Builder-Grade Patios…
Patios have certainly changed in recent years. Not too long ago, most patios were made of simple concrete encompassing a sparse piece of earth off the back of the home. These boring, builder-grade patios lacked function, beauty and character.
Our awe-inspiring combination project in Clear Creek Township, OH was the winning design for the CotY in the category of Residential Exterior projects in 2015. The design features a low-maintenance covered porch that steps down into a large curved paver patio including an integrated custom fire pit, all of which were constructed with Oberfield Tumbled Pavers.

Today’s patios are different! They encompass a wide variety of materials from pavers, natural and synthetic stone and are often assembled with unique footprints complementing the architectural elements present in your home, and the surrounding landscape. Our patios include vertical hardscapes with outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, retaining walls, decorative pillars, and even hardscape stairs and steps. Our hardscape crews have tremendous experience and expertise in designing and building high-quality patios and hardscapes in the Greater Dayton and Northern Cincinnati area - the kind of hardscapes that make you say WOW.
Patios as a low-maintenance structure
Low-maintenance is defined as requiring little work to keep in good condition. When most homeowners think about a low-maintenance outdoor living space, they often automatically imagine a composite or PVC deck. It is only natural that many of our clients assume that decking is the only material that comes in low-maintenance because we design and build many stunning TimberTech, AZEK and Fiberon decks. However, many of our clients are pleasantly surprised when they learn about another low-maintenance option we offer; patios.

Paver patios in particular, are becoming more popular with Dayton area homeowners who are looking for low maintenance, durability, and stability in their outdoor living space. In fact, more than 200 million square feet of pavers have been installed throughout North America.

They require very little attention on the part of the homeowner aside from just maintaining them using common sense practices to ensure their aesthetics; i.e.keeping leaves blown off the patio, cleaning up mud where the kids or your pet tracked it from the yard on a rainy day!

Our custom patios work well as part of an outdoor living space combination, with a deck or porch, around a pool or even to highlight your landscaping. Patios are the perfect space to complete a backyard retreat. Paver patios, when installed by a professional, are as reliable and stable as concrete patios. They last just as long require minimal maintenance trumping the time you spend laboring over the constant cleaning, staining and maintenance of a wooden outdoor structure.
