A backyard without a patio is a lost opportunity.
Worn-out grass, patchy gravel, or a concrete slab can’t support the way you want to live outside. Whether you’re trying to host a gathering or just sip your coffee in peace, it’s hard to feel comfortable without a solid patio build.

Patio Materials
Frequently Asked Questions
The size of a walkway or patio is determined by several factors, including the available space on your property, your intended use of the area, and your design preferences. Our expert designers take into account the flow of traffic and how the space will connect different areas of your landscape, ensuring a natural, intuitive layout. We also consider your desired level of privacy or openness, as well as potential additions like seating areas or outdoor features that could impact how the space is used. By blending functionality with aesthetics, we craft walkways and patios that seamlessly merge with your outdoor space and match your lifestyle.
Choosing the right materials is essential to achieving both aesthetic appeal and durability. You can choose from a variety of options such as natural stone, brick, pavers and concrete, each with its own unique charm and advantages. Our experts work closely with you to select the materials that compliment your landscape, match your preferences and withstand the elements for long-lasting use.
Pavers offer a simple and durable solution, and they’re easy to customize. Slab and stone lend a more sophisticated feel and all the more with travertine. For the budget conscious buyer, stamped concrete provides a quick and easy solution with different stamps and colors to choose from.
Determining the ideal location for walkways and patios is a large part of our design process and is not a decision you have to make on your own. We consider factors such as sun exposure, accessibility, and how your space will be used to identify the perfect spot that enhances your property’s natural flow and beauty. Our goal is to create spaces that invite you to enjoy the outdoors comfortably and conveniently.
Enhance your walkways and patios with a variety of add-on features to elevate your outdoor experience. Options include outdoor kitchens for al fresco dining, fireplaces or fire pits for cozy gatherings, and outdoor structures like pergolas for shade and ambiance. Additionally, retaining walls can add visual interest and functionality to your space. Opportunities are endless.
Make sure to reach out directly to your project manager for any questions you may have during the construction process.
Aside from simple routine cleaning, wood may need refinishing, and stonework could be pressure washed to maintain a like-new appearance. Sealcoats can reduce the time between maintenance work, and joint resanding prevents weeds from overtaking bricks and pavers.
Let our team guide you through your backyard options making the process quick and simple.

Reviews from our Customers
Darius Barnes
“Ivy Creek Landscapes were fantastic to work with throughout my project, from design to execution. They were able to create more usable yard space and outdoor entertainment area for my family and I to enjoy. Brandon and Martin are highly knowledgeable and will leave no stone unturned to help create your vision at a fair price. I look forward to working with them again on potential future projects.”
David Crandall
“Brandon & Team are attentive with great communications with the project. It was a sectioning of retaining wall that needed repair, but with the challenges of the hotel guest parking logistics. Thank Brandon & Wendy for seeing the project through.
Annie Bingham
“We had a great experience with Ivy Creek! They redid our backyard with extensive clearing, rebuilding a retaining wall, and adding a patio and sprinkler system. Brandon and the whole team were highly communicative and answered questions every step of the way. We will use Ivy Creek again to add a fence around our backyard as our next project!.”

Read More About Patio & Hardscaping Services
Even the best landscapes often require a thoughtful and attractive hardscape to render outdoor areas more usable. Yet, with so many inspiring options, where exactly do homeowners begin?
Hardscape Services
It’s best to align custom patio and hardscaping plans from the start. Doing so ensures you have enough surface support for the hardscaping amenities you have in mind. Accessibility and seating are also important, as is how hardscaping complements your landscape and home.
Patios
From simple flat designs to multi-level structures, patios support endless customization. They can also integrate with firepits, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and other features that expand a patio’s experiential value and function.
Walkways
Thoughtfully planned walkways are the key to greater accessibility. They should strike a balance between form and function, and the materials should require minimal maintenance while complementing the other design elements.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls create space for decorative foliage while supporting the eye’s tendency to detect patterns. They can also provide a pleasant sense of enclosure and are a smart way to manage accessibility.
