Benefits of Professional Patio Installation Services
Enhanced Outdoor Functionality
A professionally installed patio extends your home’s living space, offering a versatile area for dining, entertaining, or relaxation. It creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments. The added space enhances your ability to host gatherings or enjoy peaceful outdoor moments in comfort.
Increased Property Value
A high-quality patio is a valuable investment that can significantly boost your home’s resale value. Buyers are drawn to functional outdoor areas that offer aesthetic appeal and usability. Professionally built patios demonstrate attention to detail and thoughtful design, making your property more marketable.
Custom Design Flexibility
Professional patio installers offer a wide range of layout options, materials, colors, and finishes. This flexibility enables homeowners to tailor the patio to suit their unique vision and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a minimalist stone layout or a detailed paver pattern, your design goals are achievable.
Long-Term Durability
Professionally constructed patios are built to withstand years of use and harsh weather conditions. Experts ensure proper site preparation, drainage, and material selection to reduce the risk of cracking, shifting, or erosion. The result is a stable, durable outdoor surface that lasts for decades.
Low Maintenance Requirements
With the right materials and construction techniques, patios can remain attractive with minimal effort. Composite pavers, sealed surfaces, and efficient layouts help resist stains, weeds, and surface damage. You’ll spend more time enjoying your patio and less time maintaining it.
Professional Drainage and Grading
Experienced installers understand how to slope and grade patios to ensure proper water runoff. This prevents pooling, foundation issues, and erosion that can compromise structural integrity. Proper drainage protects both the patio and the surrounding landscape, reducing long-term repair costs.
Our Patio Installation & Design Services
Natural Stone Patio Installation
We install patios using flagstone, bluestone, or slate for a luxurious and timeless aesthetic. Each stone is laid with care using solid base preparation and joint materials suited to long-term performance. The unique texture and natural color variation create an elegant, high-end look. This option is perfect for homeowners seeking both charm and durability in their outdoor spaces.
Stamped & Colored Concrete Patios
Stamped concrete offers the look of stone or brick at a lower cost. We expertly pour and stamp concrete using molds and high-performance dyes that mimic natural materials. Finishes are sealed for protection against wear, weather, and fading. This low-maintenance option provides upscale appeal with the flexibility of custom design patterns.
Brick & Paver Patios
Brick and concrete pavers allow for versatile patterns and designs—from classic herringbone to circular medallions. Our process includes sub-base compaction, edge restraints, and polymeric joint sand for long-term structural stability. Pavers are available in a variety of textures and tones. This service is ideal for achieving both creative expression and exceptional strength in high-traffic areas.
Patio Resurfacing & Repair
We restore existing patios by leveling, re-layering missing pavers, re-grouting joints, and power washing surfaces. Repairs address common problems like sunken areas, cracking, or uneven finishes. Our team revitalizes aging patios, improving both aesthetics and safety. This cost-effective service extends the life of your current installation while refreshing its appearance.
Integrated Lighting & Accessories
Add function and ambiance with built-in lighting, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens. We integrate low-voltage or solar lighting into your patio layout for both safety and style. Options include pathway lights, recessed step lighting, and decorative fixtures. Accessory installations enhance usability after dark and elevate the entire outdoor experience.
Drainage & Subgrade Preparation
Proper base and drainage installation is critical for longevity. We compact the subsoil, install crushed stone bases, and slope surfaces to optimize water runoff. French drains or channel systems can be added where needed. These essential services prevent water pooling, frost heaving, and structural shifting, safeguarding your investment from environmental damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are best for my patio?
Common options include natural flagstone, stamped concrete, brick, and pavers. We assess your yard conditions, usage needs, and aesthetic preferences to recommend the best material for durability and style. Our goal is to balance beauty with functionality, ensuring the material complements your home’s architecture and withstands local weather patterns.
How long does patio installation take?
Most installations take 1–3 weeks, depending on size, materials, and weather. We offer detailed schedules upfront and maintain consistent updates to keep your project on track from preparation to cleanup. Efficient project management ensures minimal disruption to your routine while maintaining high-quality workmanship throughout.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, we manage all necessary permits and inspections to ensure compliance with local building regulations. Our experience with county codes ensures that your patio is constructed safely and legally. Handling permits also eliminates delays and helps avoid costly rework or legal complications down the road.
Can I add features like lighting or fire pits later?
Absolutely. We offer design options for integrated lighting, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and more. These can be incorporated during initial construction or retrofitted onto existing patios. Our team works to seamlessly blend new features with your current setup, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
How do you maintain drainage on patios?
Proper grading ensures water slopes away from your home. We install gravel bases and edge restraints and can integrate drainage channels where needed to prevent pooling and erosion. These drainage solutions protect your patio’s foundation and surrounding landscaping from water damage.
Will my patio withstand freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes, our base preparation and materials are chosen to endure regional freeze-thaw conditions. Compaction and joint sealing minimize frost heave, while appropriate drainage keeps base layers dry. This careful attention extends the patio’s lifespan and maintains its structural integrity through seasonal changes.
How do I maintain my patio?
Routine maintenance includes sweeping, occasional power washing, and annual sealant applications. These simple steps help preserve your patio’s appearance and structural integrity over time. Regular upkeep also prevents dirt buildup and reduces the risk of stains or surface damage.
Can you match my existing hardscape?
We can replicate or complement existing materials and designs. During consultation, we analyze your hardscape to create seamless blends using coordinating stone, color, and pattern choices. This approach ensures a cohesive look that enhances your overall outdoor living space.

Northern Star Construction was a wonderful experience. I've had my house repaired after a horrific tree fall accident. Got referred by a close friend, I am truly thankful that I had them do the job. They are not only professional, but also very prompt, reliable and dependable. Kevin, the owner, offered me a very reasonable quote and exceeded my expectation. I would definitely have them again in the future as needed, and would recommend them for family members and friends.

Have used Northern Star Construction for a few home projects. Each time, they’ve done great work. Communication and timeline was always clear throughout the process. Most recently re-worked our guest bathroom from a dated closet to a refreshed usable space with new flooring, vanity, and shower/tub.
