Concrete Patios in Westtown, PA

Westtown lots have the space for patios that are designed rather than squeezed in, which changes what is worth doing.

What Westtown properties need from this work


Generous rear yards mean a patio here can be sized for how it will actually be used, with defined areas for dining, seating and cooking rather than one rectangle that tries to serve everything. It also means access is usually straightforward, keeping cost closer to the base rate.

The rolling ground through the township is the main design factor. A patio on sloping ground either steps down in levels or requires cut and fill with a retaining edge, and both are better decided at design stage than discovered during excavation.

Pitch away from the house is non negotiable regardless of the slope. Around a quarter inch per foot of fall keeps water moving off the surface. Patios that look level in photographs are usually the ones holding water against a foundation.

Answers

Concrete Patios in Westtown: common questions


Can a patio be built on a sloping yard?

Yes, and there are two approaches. Step it into levels connected by steps, which suits a steeper slope and usually looks better. Or cut and fill to create one level surface with a retaining edge on the low side.

Which suits depends on how much fall there is across the patio area and what you want to use the space for.

How big should a patio be?

It depends on use rather than on a rule. A dining table with chairs pulled out needs meaningfully more space than people estimate, generally around twelve by twelve feet as a minimum for a six person table.

A useful exercise is marking the footprint out on the ground with stakes and string and living with it for a few days before committing.
