Patios & Walkways

Patio & Walkway Contractor Serving Greater Boston

Create an outdoor space that feels like a true extension of your home.

Stein Construction designs and builds custom patios, walkways and outdoor living spaces throughout Greater Boston, Boston’s surrounding communities and the South Shore.

We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, bluestone, granite and complementary masonry features to create outdoor spaces designed around the architecture of your home and the way your family wants to use the property.

From a new front walkway to a complete backyard renovation with patios, walls, fire features and outdoor kitchens, we can manage the construction from excavation through final installation.

A professionally designed patio can become the center of your backyard.

We install paver patios for:

  • Outdoor dining
  • Entertaining
  • Grilling
  • Fire pits
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Seating areas
  • Pool areas
  • Backyard gathering spaces

Pavers are available in many styles, sizes, colors and textures, allowing the finished patio to complement both traditional New England homes and more contemporary architecture.

Natural Stone Patios

Timeless New England Character

Natural stone creates a distinctive look that is difficult to duplicate with manufactured materials.

Depending on the project, materials can include:

  • Bluestone
  • Natural flagstone
  • Granite
  • Fieldstone
  • Natural stone borders
  • Irregular stone

Natural stone is especially well suited to historic homes, high-end landscapes and properties where homeowners want a more organic appearance.

Paver Walkways

A new walkway can dramatically improve both the appearance and functionality of your property.

We construct:

  • Front entrance walkways
  • Backyard walkways
  • Garden paths
  • Side-yard walkways
  • Pool walkways
  • Driveway-to-entrance connections
  • Patio connections

Walkways can be constructed using pavers, natural stone, bluestone or granite depending on the design.

More Than Just a Patio

Outdoor Living Spaces

For many homeowners, the goal is not simply to install pavers.

The goal is to create a complete outdoor environment.

Stein Construction can combine:

  • Patios
  • Walkways
  • Fire pits
  • Outdoor fireplaces
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Seating walls
  • Retaining walls
  • Granite steps
  • Natural stone
  • Landscape lighting
  • Drainage
  • Planting areas

By planning these elements together, the finished space feels intentional rather than like a collection of separate projects.

Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces

Fire features create a natural gathering point for an outdoor living area.

A patio can be designed around:

Built-In Fire Pits

Ideal for casual seating and entertaining.

Outdoor Fireplaces

A larger architectural feature that can become the focal point of the backyard.

Fire features can be coordinated with seating walls, patios and landscape lighting to create a complete entertainment space.

Why Proper Patio Construction Matters

A patio may look beautiful when it is first completed, but what happens after several Massachusetts winters depends heavily on what is underneath it.

Proper installation requires attention to:

  • Excavation Depth
    Existing soil and unsuitable material must be removed as necessary.
  • Compacted Base
    A properly installed aggregate base helps support the finished surface.
  • Drainage
    Water needs somewhere to go. Patio grades must be coordinated with the surrounding property.
  • Bedding Material
    The proper bedding layer creates a stable installation surface.
  • Edge Restraint
    Edges must be secured to prevent movement.
  • Final Grading
    Finished elevations need to work with entrances, lawns, walls and drainage.

These steps are essential for long-term performance in New England.

Complete Backyard Transformations

Some of our most substantial residential projects involve multiple improvements completed together.

A project might include:

Existing patio removal → Excavation → Drainage → Retaining walls → New patio → Outdoor kitchen → Fire pit → Walkways → Lighting → Landscape improvements

Coordinating everything as one project allows the elevations, materials and layout to work together.
