Patio installation in Toronto comes down to three decisions: material, size, and where the water goes. We handle the third one for you, every patio we build slopes away from the foundation at 1–2% and ties into existing drainage, because a beautiful patio that sends water at your basement is an expensive mistake.
Most of our patios go into yards under 1,500 sq ft, behind semis and bungalows with narrow side access. We plan equipment and material staging around a 30-inch gate where we have to, and we tape the patio footprint out on the grass during the estimate so you see exactly what fits, most people go one size up once they see it.
A patio is the anchor; most clients pair it with retaining walls or garden walls for seating and grade changes, or a walkway from the gate so the lawn survives the traffic.
Pavers cost less, install faster, and individual stones can be swapped if stained or damaged. Natural stone (flagstone, square-cut) costs more and reads more organic. Structurally both live or die by the base. We bring samples of each so you compare in your own light.
Interlock patios typically run $18 to $30 per square foot installed; natural stone runs $30 to $50+. A common 300 sq ft backyard patio lands between $6,000 and $12,000 in pavers. Site access and excavation depth move the number, the written quote is fixed.
A dining set for six needs roughly 12 x 12 feet to pull chairs out comfortably. Add a lounge zone and you are at 300 to 400 sq ft. We tape out the footprint on your lawn during the estimate so you see the size before committing.
At-grade patios generally do not. Raised patios, structures over them, or anything touching grading near the property line can. We flag permit questions during the design visit.
