A Five-Step Framework

How to Plan Your Build

01

Measure First

Length, width, and accessible side margins of your patio. Photograph the install area from multiple angles.

02

Identify the Focal Point

Fireplace, BBQ island, or fire pit table — every other element gets built around that anchor.

03

Plan Activity Zones

Cooking, dining, lounging — keep them separated where space allows. Distinct zones prevent traffic collisions.

04

Account for Utilities

Gas line distance, electrical access, water access. Do not skip this — retrofits are the most expensive fix later.

05

Budget for Delivery

White-glove delivery, gas and electrical work, and site prep add to the project total. Get quotes early.
