Your backyard deserves more than a poured slab. Whether you're hosting guests, relaxing with family, or finally building out that outdoor cooking zone, a custom patio is the foundation of your outdoor living space.
But too often, Pittsburgh homeowners get stuck with generic layouts, poor drainage, and cheap materials that don’t last more than a few seasons.
At SORCE Landscape Contracting, we design and install custom patios across the Pittsburgh region, using durable materials and smart layouts tailored to your home, your lifestyle, and your property’s natural conditions. Based in Fox Chapel, we serve homeowners throughout the greater Pittsburgh area, from city lots to large suburban properties, with patio solutions built to last.
We build patios that are made for real use—not just for looks. Whether you want a clean, modern patio for entertaining or a rustic space that blends into your landscape design, we’ll help you create a space that actually gets used.
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 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 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 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
We recommend materials based on function, appearance, and durability in local conditions:
• Concrete pavers (Unilock, Techo-Bloc) – Versatile and stylish
