— Patios & walkways

Backyard square footage, poured

A concrete patio is the cheapest livable square footage a Fishers backyard can add, half the cost of composite decking, none of the staining weekends.

Three finishes, three budgets

• Broom finish. Clean, grippy, timeless, the workhorse at the friendliest price point. Most patios land here, typically $8–$12/sq ft.
• Exposed aggregate. The river-stone texture that hides wear and pairs with landscape beds, a step up in price, a big step up in character.
• Stamped & colored. Slate, flagstone and wood-plank patterns with integral color, the premium look at $12–$18/sq ft that still undercuts pavers, with a resealing rhythm every few years to keep it sharp.

Design that fits the lot

Fishers backyards are drawn tight, so shape earns its keep: a 14×20 rectangle off the slider covers dinner-table-plus-grill; a curved edge softens it into the lawn; a fire-pit circle at the corner turns three seasons into four. Walkways run the same playbook, front-door approaches wide enough to walk two abreast (4 feet, not the builder's 3), garden paths that end the mud track by the gate.

Details that survive the winters

Same physics as driveways, lighter duty: air-entrained mix, 4-inch depth over compacted base, joints on a sane grid, slope pitched a quarter-inch per foot away from the foundation, and a same-day cure. Patios fail less from load than from water, getting the pitch and the downspout discharge right is half the engineering, and it is on every quote.

While the crew is there

Patio + walkway + a stoop repair in one mobilization prices dramatically better than three separate visits. Tell us everything you are considering and the quote will show it bundled and separate, your call with real numbers.
