Custom Paver Patios & Hardscapes in Columbus, Ohio
A patio renovation starts with what still works: the back-door route, existing steps, planting you want to keep and the furniture you use. Flores plans paver patios and hardscapes for Columbus homeowners around those decisions, from a focused dining area to a larger outdoor living space.
Designed around your home
Make the patio fit the home you already have
Measure the furniture before drawing the footprint. Leave room to pull out chairs and move between the house, grill and yard. A larger surface is useful only when its layout supports the activities you actually enjoy.
For a replacement, we review the existing surface and site rather than assuming new pavers can simply cover old problems. Compare removal, grade changes, base preparation and drainage alongside the finish choices.

Compare a replacement patio with a new outdoor layout
Measure the furniture before drawing the footprint. Leave room to pull out chairs and move between the house, grill and yard. A larger surface is useful only when its layout supports the activities you actually enjoy.
Bring a survey or site plan if available, along with photos of doors, steps and the yard. Construction access, existing grades and the intended furniture layout help define the work.
Confirm the review path for your property
Columbus provides Building and Zoning Services resources, but a Columbus mailing address does not by itself confirm municipal jurisdiction. Establish the property’s authority and ask about the actual utility, structural and site work proposed. Do not assume one citywide approval or price fits every project.
Official planning and building resources
Requirements depend on the property and proposed scope. Check any applicable neighborhood approval process alongside the responsible public authority.
Think beyond the surface
Keep the finished yard in view
Connect the patio with supporting features
For a replacement, we review the existing surface and site rather than assuming new pavers can simply cover old problems. Compare removal, grade changes, base preparation and drainage alongside the finish choices.
Explore outdoor kitchens, fire features and pergolas and pavilions as parts of one plan. An assessment helps separate the initial work from possible future additions.

Helpful answers
Columbus paver patio questions
Can you replace an existing patio instead of rebuilding the whole yard?
We can assess that scope. Bring photos and tell us which steps, beds or routes you want to retain. The condition of the existing work and the proposed elevations determine what can be kept.
What determines the cost of my Columbus patio?
The estimate reflects dimensions, material choices, excavation, access, base preparation, drainage and any steps, walls or additional features. Discuss scope and budget together at the free assessment.
