Custom Patio Design & Installation

A well-built patio should do more than fill space in your yard. It should create a comfortable, lasting outdoor living area that fits your home, your routine, and the way you want to entertain. At Earth Artisans, we design and build custom patios for homeowners who want a high-end result with thoughtful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and clear communication from start to finish.

Our process starts with an initial design consultation. We learn how you want to use the space, study the layout of your property, and look at drainage, grade changes, access, sun exposure, and how the patio should connect to your home. From there, we create a custom plan that balances beauty, function, and long-term performance.

We build patios using quality materials chosen for both appearance and durability. Depending on the style of the project, that can include natural stone, brick, concrete, or gravel. We help you compare options based on color, texture, maintenance needs, budget, and the overall look you want to achieve. Every patio is designed to feel like a natural extension of the home, not an afterthought.

Because we are a design-build company, we handle both the creative and construction sides of the job. That means better coordination, fewer surprises, and one team managing the details. Our 4-person team brings 40 years of combined experience to each project, and we are licensed and insured for your peace of mind. We focus on larger custom outdoor living projects, so we can also plan for features such as seating walls, steps, fire features, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, lighting, drainage solutions, and smooth indoor-outdoor integration where needed.

Proper installation matters just as much as design. A patio needs the right base preparation, grading, and material layout to hold up over time. We pay close attention to structure, water movement, finish work, and the small details that affect both appearance and performance. Our goal is to build a patio that looks exceptional and stays that way.

If you are ready to create a custom patio that adds beauty, function, and value to your property, we invite you to schedule an initial design consultation with Earth Artisans.

We make custom patio projects simple, clear, and well-managed from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. Our design-build process is built for high-end outdoor living spaces, with expert guidance, quality craftsmanship, and close attention to every detail.

Design Consultation & Site Review

We start with an on-site design consultation to learn how you want to use the space, review grading, drainage, access, and the home’s architecture, and discuss materials like stone, brick, concrete, or pavers. Then we shape a patio concept, budget range, and phased timeline that fits your property and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Patio Design & Installation

Get clear answers about our patio design-build process, pricing, timelines, materials, and what to expect when you work with Earth Artisans on a custom outdoor living project.

  • What is included in your custom patio design and installation service?

    We handle the full process, from the initial design consultation to planning, material selection, construction, and final walkthrough. Our team builds custom patios using stone, brick, concrete, or gravel and can also tie your patio into fire features, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and other outdoor living elements.

  • Do you only build patios, or can you design the whole outdoor space?

    We specialize in larger, high-end design-build projects, so we can do much more than a patio alone. If you want a complete outdoor living space, we can design and build connected features that fit your home, property, and how you want to use the space every day.

  • How much does a custom patio project cost?

    Patio pricing depends on size, layout, materials, site conditions, and the features you want included. Because every project is custom, we start with an initial design consultation to understand your goals and provide a clear estimate. We focus on delivering long-term value, quality craftsmanship, and a finished space built to last.

  • How long does a patio installation usually take?

    The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, material choices, weather, and site preparation needs. Simple patio installations move faster, while larger custom outdoor living projects take more time. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you informed throughout the design and construction process.

  • Why should I choose Earth Artisans for my patio project?

    We are a Cary design-build company focused on custom, high-end outdoor living projects, not routine maintenance work. Our small team brings 40 years of combined experience, and we are licensed and insured. We guide you from concept to completion and do not stop until you are satisfied with the final result.

  • How do I get started with a custom patio project?

    The best first step is to schedule an initial design consultation with our team. We will talk through your ideas, budget, property layout, and the features you want in your new patio space. From there, we can help shape a plan that fits your goals and move your project forward with confidence.
