Custom Paver Patios & Hardscapes in Upper Arlington
Make room for outdoor dinners, conversations around the fire and an easier connection to your yard. Flores plans and installs paver patios, steps, walkways and walls around your home and how you want to use the space.
Designed for the way you live
A patio should solve a layout problem
A good patio makes everyday movement feel natural: the route from the back door to the table, room to move chairs, space around a grill and a comfortable path to the rest of the yard. We start with those decisions before narrowing down colors and patterns.
For an Upper Arlington home, the assessment is also a chance to look at the specific site. Existing steps, mature planting, yard grades and construction access can shape the plan. We assess your property rather than treating these conditions as citywide assumptions.
Upper Arlington Fireside Patio
One local project, several connected decisions
Upper Arlington Fireside Patio
This backyard brings a paver patio, custom gas fire pit, steps and retaining walls into one gathering space. Refreshed landscape beds soften the hardscape.
The project also includes drainage gravel and perforated pipe behind the retaining wall, plus a concrete pad planned for a future hot tub. It shows why the work below the surface and the next phase deserve attention early.

Build the surface and the transitions together
Steps, walkways & walls
Connect elevations and routes without treating the edges of the patio as an afterthought.
Materials, borders & patterns
Compare colors, textures and contrasting borders against the house and landscape. The selection should support the whole space, not only a sample.
Base preparation & drainage
Discuss existing grades and water movement before construction. A finished paver surface depends on the work beneath it.
Fire, cooking & shade
Plan footprints and utility routes for a fire pit, kitchen or covered area so later additions do not force avoidable rework.

Plan what comes next, even if you build in phases
Keep the future in the first conversation
The Upper Arlington Fireside Patio includes a pad for a future hot tub. Your priorities may be different: a kitchen, shade structure or more seating. Talk through likely additions before selecting the patio footprint.
We can discuss the relationship between current work and future features, including space, elevations and utilities. A phased plan still needs a clear picture of the finished backyard.
Before installation
Check the site and the approval path
Start with the property, not a standard layout
Bring a survey or site plan if you have one. We can discuss existing grades, door and step elevations, access for construction, trees and the relationship between seating and neighboring properties. These are assessment questions, not assumptions about every Upper Arlington yard.
Check approvals for the actual scope
Patios, walls, structures, utilities and other improvements can raise different planning questions. Confirm the property jurisdiction and applicable approvals before construction; a mailing address alone does not establish the rules.

Helpful answers
Paver patio questions
How large should the patio be?
Start with the furniture and activities: dining, cooking, lounging and walking routes. We can compare layouts that give each area enough room without filling the yard unnecessarily.
Can pavers work through Central Ohio seasons?
Pavers are used throughout the region, but material selection alone is not the answer. Base construction, edge restraint, drainage and maintenance all matter. We discuss these details as part of the installation plan.
Can a patio include a retaining wall and drainage work?
Yes, where appropriate to the site. Our Upper Arlington Fireside Patio includes a retaining-wall drainage system. The solution for your property requires its own assessment.
How much will my Upper Arlington patio cost?
A useful estimate depends on dimensions, materials, site preparation, access, walls, steps and added features. Book an assessment to discuss scope and budget; we do not give a universal citywide price.
How do I care for the patio after installation?
Discuss cleaning, joint condition and surface care for the selected materials. Flores also offers power washing, joint sand and sealing for existing paver surfaces.
