Next to adding a deck, a custom outdoor patio is one of the most desired additions for homeowners throughout Howard County and the surrounding areas. An outdoor patio installation is a significant project with a wide array of options to consider, from materials to design. That’s why it is crucial to partner with an experienced team like Absolute Landscapes. Whether you envision a classic cobblestone space, a modern herringbone design with bricks, or a sleek stamped concrete surface, our professionals can manage your project from start to finish.
Why Professional Patio Installation Matters
You might have heard someone say, “It’s just a patio, how hard could it be?” As a team that has completed hundreds of custom patio projects, we can attest that it’s a complex job that requires precision, the right tools, and a deep understanding of landscape construction. Every property is unique—the size, the materials, the existing landscape—making every patio a custom project.
Our team at Absolute Landscapes embraces this bespoke approach. We collaborate closely with each homeowner to fully understand their vision and functional needs. This commitment allows us to craft a patio space that not only meets your expectations but also blends seamlessly with your property’s existing aesthetic. Our experience, knowledge, and passion for creating beautiful outdoor living spaces ensure a final product that is a worthwhile and lasting investment.
Endless Possibilities for Your Custom Patio
While patios may seem similar, the vast selection of materials and the unique tastes of each homeowner mean that no two patios we install are ever the same. Your new patio can be designed for any purpose:
- A cozy gathering spot for relaxing around a custom fire pit.
- An elegant outdoor living room, complete with a fireplace and entertainment setup.
- A functional and stylish extension of your pool deck, providing extra space for seating and sunbathing.
- The foundation for a gourmet outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining guests.
- A shaded retreat with the addition of a pergola or other custom structure.

How long does a typical patio installation take? A standard patio installation can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. The timeline depends on the project’s complexity, the size of the patio, the materials used, and weather conditions.
Can a patio increase my home’s value? Yes, a well-designed and professionally installed patio can significantly increase your home’s resale value. It enhances curb appeal and expands your usable living space, which are attractive features for potential buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Do I need a permit for a new patio in Howard County? Permit requirements can vary based on the size, height, and specific features of your patio.
