Outdoor Patio Design Process

Design That Fits Your Reality

Good patio design isn’t just about making things look nice. It’s about understanding how water moves through your yard, what materials actually hold up in our climate, and how to maximize the space you have.

We’ve seen too many patios that look great in photos but crack within two years or turn into swimming pools every time it rains. Our design process starts with your property’s specific conditions—soil type, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing landscaping. Then we create something that works with all of that instead of fighting against it.

Patio Design and Installation

Installation That Actually Lasts

The difference between a patio that lasts five years and one that lasts twenty comes down to what happens before you see any materials delivered. Proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage work aren’t exciting, but they’re what keep your investment looking good.

We handle the foundation work that other contractors skip because it’s time-consuming. Compacted base materials, proper grading for drainage, and reinforcement where needed. You won’t see most of this work once it’s done, but you’ll benefit from it every day you use your patio.

Patios FAQs

Common questions about Patios

How long does a typical patio installation take to complete?

The timeline for a typical patio installation by Creekside Pro Construction can vary depending on the size, materials, and site conditions, but most projects are completed within 3 to 7 days. The process includes site preparation, foundation work, and the actual laying of materials such as pavers, stone, or concrete. Larger or more customized projects may take a bit longer, especially if features like retaining walls, lighting, or built-in seating are included. Weather and permitting may also affect timing. At Creekside Pro Construction, we prioritize quality craftsmanship while working efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and outdoor lifestyle.

What's the best patio material for Bay Area weather conditions?

Creekside Pro Construction recommends materials like natural stone (such as bluestone or slate), concrete pavers, or composite decking. These options resist fading, cracking, and moisture damage while offering a polished, upscale look. Concrete pavers, in particular, are highly customizable and ideal for uneven terrain. Meanwhile, composite decking is a low-maintenance solution that stands up well to fog and coastal humidity. Each material we recommend is selected for durability and comfort underfoot, ensuring your outdoor space thrives in every season.

Do I need permits for patio installation in Contra Costa County?

Patios at ground level under 200 sq ft generally fall below the threshold for building permits, similar to small decks, provided they don’t include electrical, plumbing, or solid overhead structures. However, once your patio exceeds 200 sq ft, is attached to the home, elevated, or includes utilities or a roofline, a permit through Contra Costa’s ePermits Center is required . Creekside Pro Construction handles everything from design and permitting to final inspections, ensuring your outdoor space is both beautiful and fully compliant.

How do you handle drainage to prevent water pooling problems?

At Creekside Pro Construction, we take water drainage seriously to prevent pooling and long-term damage around your home. We start by evaluating the natural slope of your property and ensuring proper grading to direct water away from the foundation. Our team installs French drains, catch basins, or swales where necessary, depending on your landscape and soil type. We also incorporate gutter extensions and drainage piping to control roof runoff effectively. Every solution is tailored to the specific needs of your property to keep water moving efficiently and avoid costly issues caused by standing water or erosion.

What should I expect to pay for professional patio installation?

Basic concrete patios tend to be more affordable, while high-end options like pavers, flagstone, or custom finishes will raise the overall cost. Site preparation, grading, drainage solutions, and any additional features—such as lighting, seating walls, or built-in fire pits—can also impact your final price. Creekside Pro Construction offers transparent estimates and quality workmanship to ensure your investment results in a functional and beautiful outdoor space.

How do I know if a patio contractor is reliable and qualified?

When choosing a patio contractor for your home, reliability and qualifications matter. At Creekside Pro Construction, we recommend starting with proof of licensing and insurance—non-negotiables for any legitimate contractor. Next, check their portfolio and read reviews to gauge the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. A trustworthy contractor will offer transparent estimates, set clear timelines, and communicate throughout the project. Ask if they handle permits and understand local building codes. Most importantly, a qualified contractor like Creekside Pro Construction stands behind their craftsmanship with a warranty and takes pride in creating beautiful, lasting outdoor spaces.
