Patio Design & Installation in Philadelphia
A great patio becomes one of the most-used spaces around your home. It’s where family dinners move outside, friends gather around the fire, and quiet mornings begin with a cup of coffee.
The best patios don’t just fit the backyard. They fit the way you live.
Harth Builders designs and installs custom patios throughout Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, Chester County, Delaware County, South Jersey, and now the Jersey Shore. Every patio is thoughtfully designed around your home, your property, and the way you want to enjoy your outdoor space.
Whether you’re replacing an aging patio or starting from scratch, our design-build team manages the project from concept through construction.
Patio Design That Fits Your Home
Every patio starts with a plan.
We look at how your home connects to the backyard, how the space will be used, existing grades and drainage, and the materials that best complement your home’s architecture.
Some homeowners want a comfortable place for outdoor dining. Others are creating a larger space for entertaining, relaxing, or spending more time outside. Whatever your vision, we’ll design a patio that feels like it belongs.

Patio Expansions & Replacements
If your existing patio no longer meets your needs, we can redesign the layout, expand the space, or replace it entirely with a new design that better fits the way you live today.
Complete Your Outdoor Space
A patio often becomes the centerpiece of a larger outdoor living area.
Many homeowners choose to incorporate features such as:
- Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces
- Outdoor kitchens with built-in grills or pizza ovens
- Built-in seating
- Pergolas and shade structures
- Landscape lighting
- Walkways that connect the patio to the rest of the property
These elements are thoughtfully incorporated into the overall design so the finished space feels cohesive and natural.

How long does patio installation take?
