Patio Design & Hardscape in Boston

Boston is a city of small, hard-won backyards — brownstone gardens, brick courtyards, triple-decker lots, and roof decks with a skyline view. For 37 years we've been turning those tight, tricky spaces into outdoor rooms people actually use. If it's inside the city, we've probably built one near you.

We design and build patios, walkways, walls, and full backyard makeovers all over Boston, and we build them to take our winters. Below are the neighborhoods we know best — tap into yours for the local details.

Boston neighborhoods we serve

From the historic streets of Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and the South End to the working blocks of South Boston, Charlestown, and the North End — plus Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Dorchester, and Brighton — we work across the whole city and the towns around it.

Built for city lots

City work is its own craft: narrow streets, no driveway, street parking, historic districts, and yards measured in feet. We plan the logistics, handle any approvals, keep the site tight, and make every inch count.

What we build across Boston

• Brick, bluestone, and paver patios sized for city yards
• Courtyards, walkways, granite steps, and entries
• Retaining and seating walls for sloped lots
• Outdoor kitchens, fire features, lighting, and privacy plantings
• Low-maintenance designs, including paver-and-turf layouts

From a customer

“We had our backyard completely overhauled by Allan & his team. The finished result looks amazing and totally transformed the space — a little oasis in the middle of the city, with room for the kids and dogs to run around.” — Shayna F.

Common questions

Which Boston neighborhoods do you build in?

All of them — Back Bay, the South End, Beacon Hill, Charlestown, the North End, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Brighton and beyond. If you're inside the city, we almost certainly cover you.

Do you handle historic-district approvals in Boston?

Yes. Several Boston neighborhoods — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End and others — are landmark or architectural-commission districts where visible exterior work needs review. We'll tell you if yours does and handle the submission.

Can you build a patio in a small Boston city yard?

That's our specialty. Tight, walled, no-access city lots are most of what we do — a small footprint, designed well, becomes the best room in the house.
