Custom Patios Built to Last

A well-built patio gives you more than extra square footage outside. It gives you a place to relax after work, eat with family, entertain friends, and enjoy your property more often. At Red Cedar Landscapes, Inc, we build patios that are made to last and made to fit the way you actually live. Whether you want a simple paver patio for a seating area or a larger outdoor living space with room for dining, grilling, and gathering, we help you create a space that looks great and performs through Hudson Valley weather.

We’ve been serving the Hudson Valley since 1987 as a family-owned company, and that experience matters when it comes to patio construction. A patio is only as good as the work underneath it. Nice materials can still fail if the base is weak, the grading is off, or drainage is ignored. That’s why we focus on the full build, not just the surface. Our team of 28 brings hands-on experience in hardscaping, landscaping, excavation, and sitework, so we can handle patio projects with the right planning, equipment, and attention to detail.

What our patio service includes

Our patio service is built around function, durability, and clean craftsmanship. We work with homeowners and property managers who want an outdoor space that feels natural on the property and holds up over time. Depending on the project, we can build:

• Backyard patios for dining and entertaining
• Front or side patios for sitting areas and curb appeal
• Garden patios and quiet retreat spaces
• Poolside patios
• Multi-level patios for sloped properties
• Patio spaces that connect to walkways, steps, retaining walls, or planting beds
• Patios designed around outdoor kitchens, grills, or fire features

Because we also provide hardscaping and outdoor kitchen services, we can help plan a patio as part of a bigger outdoor living project instead of treating it like a standalone surface.

Patio materials and design options

We help clients choose materials based on the look they want, how the space will be used, and the conditions on the property. Popular patio materials often include concrete pavers, natural stone, and other hardscape products selected for strength and appearance. Some clients want a clean, classic patio with simple lines. Others want a more custom look with mixed sizes, border details, sitting walls, or a layout that blends into the surrounding landscape.

During planning, we talk through practical details such as:

• Patio size and shape
• Traffic flow and furniture layout
• Space for grilling, dining, or lounging
• Grade changes and step locations
• Drainage and water movement
• Material color, texture, and pattern
• Edges, borders, and transitions to lawn or landscape beds

Our goal is to build a patio that works well on day one and still works years from now.

Built for long-term performance

In our line of work, the foundation matters just as much as the finish. We build patios with long-term performance in mind, especially in the Hudson and Catskill region, where freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and changing site conditions can cause problems if a patio is not installed correctly. We pay close attention to base preparation, compaction, grading, and drainage so the finished patio stays tight and stable.

This approach helps reduce common problems like shifting pavers, low spots, standing water, and uneven surfaces. If your property has problem areas, slope issues, or drainage concerns, we address those conditions as part of the planning process. Since our team also has experience with excavation and drainage work, we can look at the site as a whole and recommend the right approach.

Our process

We keep the process straightforward. Most patio projects start with a call and a conversation about what you want to build. You can share ideas, inspiration, or even a rough sketch. We review the project, discuss layout options and features, and provide a rough cost range. If needed, we schedule a site visit to evaluate the space, grades, access, and any challenges that could affect the build. From there, we develop a formal quote and scheduling plan.

Once the project is approved, we coordinate the job based on weather and site conditions. Our crew shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and completes the work with care. We believe clients should know what’s happening, what comes next, and what it takes to do the job right. That kind of communication is a big reason customers continue to work with us.

Why homeowners choose Red Cedar for patio installation

Patio installation is not just about laying stone. It takes planning, site knowledge, the right equipment, and a crew that knows how to execute cleanly. Red Cedar Landscapes, Inc has grown from one truck into a fleet of more than 30 vehicles and machines, but our approach is still the same: show up prepared, do the work right, and build something we’re proud to put our name on.

When you hire us for a patio project, you’re working with a local, family-owned company trusted across Hyde Park, Dutchess County, Columbia County, and the greater Hudson Valley. We are known for premium outdoor work, honest expectations, and durable results. Many of our clients want more than a pretty patio. They want an outdoor space that feels finished, fits the property, and adds real everyday value to the home.
