5 Steps to Finding the Right Patio Builder | Poynter Landscape

1. Define Your Patio Vision & Needs

Before you really dive into your search for a patio builder, you should have a clear vision of what you want. This will make it easier to communicate your ideas to potential patio builders. Be sure to consider the following factors:

  Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have by calling 636-256-2600 or connect with us online. Some key aspects to consider are:

  4. Schedule Consultations with Patio Builders & Get Quotes

  With your list narrowed down, schedule consultations to discuss your project in detail. Consultations and quotes will give you a better understanding of each patio builder’s capabilities, approach, and pricing. During these meetings:

  • Share Your Vision & Ask Questions: Clearly communicate your ideas, preferences, and budget. Then inquire about the patio builder’s process, timeline, materials, and any potential challenges they foresee.

  • Get Quotes: Request detailed quotes that include the cost of materials, labor, and any additional services.
