Your backyard deserves more than a flat concrete slab. Whether you’re entertaining guests, enjoying quiet evenings with family, or creating an outdoor kitchen, a multi-level or elevated patio adds depth, function, and dimension to your outdoor living space.
Unfortunately, many Pittsburgh homes are limited by sloped yards or uneven terrain. Too often, homeowners settle for small, awkward layouts that don’t take advantage of the space available.
At SORCE Landscape Contracting, we specialize in multi-level and elevated patio installations across the Pittsburgh region. Our designs maximize outdoor square footage, improve flow between spaces, and solve grading challenges.
Based in Fox Chapel, we proudly serve homeowners throughout Greater Pittsburgh with patio solutions that are functional, stylish, and built to last.
We build patios that do more than just look good — they create new ways to enjoy your backyard.
A multi-level patio allows you to separate spaces for dining, lounging, or entertaining, while an elevated patio makes sloped or uneven yards more usable.
Whether you want a modern entertaining hub or a rustic retreat that blends into your landscape, we’ll design a patio that transforms the way you use your outdoor space.
Paver Patio Installation
Brick, concrete, and Techo-Bloc or Unilock pavers installed with proper base prep and drainage to ensure long-term stability.
Concrete Patios and Stamped Concrete
A solid, cost-effective option for large patio areas. We offer broom-finished, smooth, or textured concrete surfaces with control joints for durability.
Flagstone and Natural Stone Patios
Ideal for historic neighborhoods or homeowners who prefer an organic, timeless look. Great for garden patios, fire pit areas, or relaxed seating spaces.
Multi-Level or Elevated Patios
Especially helpful for properties with uneven terrain. We use retaining walls, steps, and thoughtful grading to create usable outdoor space.
Patio Expansions and Renovations
Already have a patio that’s too small or falling apart? We can replace or expand it and blend the new with the old for a seamless finish.
We don’t just build patios—we build outdoor living spaces that add value to your home and make your yard easier to enjoy.
We understand the challenges of Pittsburgh’s terrain, soil types, and freeze-thaw cycles. Our Multi-Level & Elevated patios are built with materials and methods that hold up to Western PA weather.
Whether you’re in a tight city lot in Lawrenceville or a sprawling property in O’Hara Township, we tailor every Our Multi-Level & Elevated patio to the space and how you’ll use it.
You’ll always know what’s happening. From consultation to final walkthrough, we communicate clearly, stick to timelines, and keep your project moving.
Want a grill zone, outdoor fireplace, or covered pergola? We’ll design your Multi-Level & Elevated patio as the foundation for a full, functional outdoor living experience—not just a place to drop furniture.
We’ll walk your yard, talk through your goals, and evaluate slope, drainage, and layout needs.
You’ll receive a clear scope of work with layout diagrams, recommended materials, and any integrated features like lighting or seating walls.
We handle excavation, install proper base layers, set pavers or concrete, apply finishing details, and clean up the site.
We walk the space with you, make sure everything is perfect, and leave you with a patio that’s ready for cooking, relaxing, and entertaining.
Homeowners across Pittsburgh are looking for more than just square footage—they want patios that feel connected to their home and lifestyle. Popular additions include:
• Outdoor kitchens and grilling areas
• Built-in fire pits with gas or wood-burning options
• Retaining walls that double as seating
• Integrated low-voltage lighting for ambiance and safety
• Pergolas or gazebos for shade and structure
• Stone pathways and garden designs that connect the patio to the rest of the yard
• Drainage channels and proper pitch to prevent water pooling
Choosing the right material ensures strength, safety, and long-term beauty. We recommend:
• Concrete pavers (Unilock, Techo-Bloc) – Durable, versatile, and stylish for tiered patios
• Flagstone – Natural stone look that enhances upscale outdoor designs
• Brick – Traditional charm, ideal for historic neighborhoods like Highland Park or Fox Chapel
• Concrete – Cost-effective, clean, and adaptable for raised patios
