Adding a new patio to your home is a great way to create a new space for relaxing, entertaining, or spending time with your loved ones. It is also a way to add value to your home and property, depending on the type of patio you are thinking of installing. If you have plans to make a new patio, there are a few services you will need to get started.
Dirt Removal
Whenever you are planning to add a new layer of concrete, wood, or other material to your property, you will likely need to remove dirt or the foundation currently in its place. Hiring a dirt and debris removal company is highly advisable when you are making a new patio, especially if you are in need of help with the transportation of dirt and other material you need dug up.
Builders/Pavers
Seek out builders and patio pavers who are familiar with the types of patios you are interested in for your own home. You can search for builders and pavers with local ads or even online and with the use of social media. Check local listings within online communities, message boards, and even on various hiring websites to compare portfolios before choosing a builder and paver that is right for the job you have in mind.

Designer
While designers are not always necessary, they may be hired to help if you have plans to build a large, extensive, or multi-deck patio for your yard. Traditional pavers and builders may be familiar with a wide range of classic patios and classic materials. However, if you want to implement various features and functions along with rare or uncommon material, working with a patio designer can help you to find the solutions that are right for you.
