Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

good to know.

What a patio builder in East Gwillimbury plans around

Septic lots first. The Town's permit exemption for landscaping and patio stone or concrete walkways holds only where the work is not near a septic system, and its guidance is that the leaching bed must not be covered with pavers, plastic or other landscaping, since it needs air and water moving through it. So we mark the tank, the bed and the pipe between them, and the outline follows those marks. Then trees: removing one whose trunk measures 20 cm or more across falls under the Town's tree protection by-law, so the layout is not final until the trees are checked.

Patio permits in East Gwillimbury

The Town's Site Alteration By-law asks for a Site Alteration Permit application when a patio or deck is added, a walkway extended or a retaining wall built, so on our jobs that form goes in before the excavator arrives. In an environmentally sensitive area, the building department also points to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, whose approval may be needed too.

Patio pricing in East Gwillimbury: excavation and base

Most of a patio's cost is underground. Excavation depth, the compacted stone under the surface and any retaining to level the yard set the price before a paver is chosen, and steps, walls, lighting, drainage and machine access add to it. We agree the drawing, levels and budget with you before excavation, and price any later change first.
