Patio Installation in Pittsburgh – Custom Outdoor Living Spaces by SORCE Landscape
Built for Life Outdoors—Custom Patio Design Across Pittsburgh
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.
Professional Patio Installation Services in Pittsburgh
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.
Our Patio Design and Hardscape Services Include:
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.
