At First State Building & Design, we design and build custom patios and hardscaping features that enhance curb appeal, increase livable outdoor space, and add long-term value. Whether you envision a simple stone retreat or a complete outdoor living area with built-in features, our team brings your vision to life with expert craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Elevate Everyday Living Outdoors

A custom patio offers more than a place to sit—it creates the foundation for countless gatherings, meals, and quiet moments. Our designs reflect your lifestyle, from intimate spaces for morning coffee to expansive entertainment zones with dining, cooking, and lounge areas. With our tailored approach, your patio becomes a seamless and stylish extension of your home.

The Value of Professional Hardscaping

Hardscaping transforms your outdoor areas into beautiful, functional, and low-maintenance spaces. From stone walkways to retaining walls, fire pits, and seating walls, these features blend durability with design. Professionally built hardscaping not only enhances aesthetics but also boosts property value and usability, giving you spaces that perform season after season.

Outdoor Living, Designed Around You

Whether you want a classic paver patio, a modern hardscape with clean lines, or a natural flagstone retreat, we’ll help you create the perfect setting. Combine your patio with complementary features like fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and decorative walls for a truly custom outdoor living space that reflects your style.
