Flagstone and Natural Stone Patio Installation in Pittsburgh – Custom Outdoor Living Spaces by SORCE Landscape
Timeless Outdoor Living – Flagstone & Natural Stone Patios in Pittsburgh
A backyard should feel like an extension of your home, not just an empty space. With a flagstone or natural stone patio, you can create a durable, elegant foundation for entertaining guests, spending time with family, or adding an outdoor kitchen.
Unfortunately, many Pittsburgh homeowners end up with patios that lack character, suffer from poor drainage, or are built with materials that don’t hold up to our changing seasons.
At SORCE Landscape Contracting, we design and install custom flagstone and natural stone patios that combine natural beauty with long-term durability. Based in Fox Chapel, we work with homeowners throughout Greater Pittsburgh, from tight urban properties to sprawling suburban yards, delivering stone patios built for both style and everyday living.
Professional Flagstone & Natural Stone Patio Installation Services in Pittsburgh
We create patios that are as functional as they are beautiful. A flagstone patio offers a rustic, organic charm with its irregular shapes and earthy tones, while a natural stone patio brings sophistication and strength with options like slate, bluestone, or limestone.
Whether your vision is casual and rustic or refined and elegant, we’ll help you design a stone patio that enhances your outdoor living space and blends seamlessly with your landscape.
