Medford's Trusted Patio Specialists

A patio contractor that knows Medford

Medford sits in Greater Boston (Middlesex County), and projects here near Mystic River and Tufts University need to handle a specific blend of weather and soil. Medford has a high concentration of original 1900s brick chimneys. We've built patios throughout Medford Square, West Medford, and the rest of town with that local knowledge baked in.

We're based in Woburn and reach Medford on a regular schedule. That means same-day callbacks, on-site estimates within 48 hours, and crews that know which materials handle Middlesex County conditions best.

Common patio problems in Medford

• Existing patio is heaving, settling, or cracking after freeze-thaw cycles — particularly common in Medford given river fog impacts north-facing masonry.
• Old concrete slab is stained, pitted, or has separated joints
• Pavers have shifted, sunk, or grown weeds in the joints
• Outdoor space drains toward the house instead of away
• Backyard has no usable surface for dining, fire pit, or seating

Patio questions, answered

Do I need a permit for a patio?

In most MA towns, patios under 200 sq ft do not require a permit. Conservation, wetlands, and historic district overlays may apply — we handle permitting when needed.

How long should a properly built patio last?

A patio with engineered base, geotextile separation, and polymeric joint sand will last 30–50+ years with minimal maintenance.

Can you build over my existing patio?

Almost never recommended. Old base material is rarely up to current standards, and overlaying creates trip hazards and drainage problems. Full removal and rebuild is the right approach.
