“The outdoor kitchen and lanai addition exceeded our wildest expectations.”
Turn your backyard into a place you love to spend time. Graceson Construction helps homeowners plan and build beautiful concrete patios, paver patios, covered patios and connected outdoor living spaces—designed around the home, the property and Florida weather.
The best patios connect the back door to everything that happens outdoors—dining, relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the pool. Proportions, shade, surfaces, drainage and the relationship to the house all help determine how comfortable the space feels.

Start with the existing yard, how you plan to use the patio and the features you want to connect. We consider surface materials, shade, circulation and site conditions as we shape a workable scope.
Explore pavers, concrete and finish options with grading and water movement in mind.
Discuss shade, roof ties, columns, lighting and weather exposure where a cover is desired.
Plan comfortable dimensions for dining, lounging and day-to-day backyard use.
Consider access from the home, pool circulation and existing outdoor amenities.
Create space for morning coffee, family dinners or quiet evenings outside.
Link the patio to the house, lawn, pool and any future outdoor features.
Think through surface drainage, exposure, shade and durable material choices.
Whether you need a new gathering area, want to replace a worn patio, or envision an expanded covered lanai, Graceson can discuss options based on the property, material choices, project scope and local approvals.
Explore brick, concrete or suitable stone pavers in patterns and colors that complement the house. The base, edge restraint and drainage design matter as much as appearance.
Pavers + HardscapeNew concrete patios, patio enlargements and surface finishes can create practical outdoor space when the subgrade, slope and planned loads are addressed.
Concrete ConstructionConsider roofed patio areas, columns, lighting and fans subject to structural design, existing-home connections and required approvals.
Covered Outdoor LivingAn older patio may need repairs, selective replacement, regrading or a new configuration that improves circulation and usability.
Patio RemodelingCoordinate paving, adjacent pool areas, seating, steps, walkways and optional outdoor kitchens for a more cohesive backyard.
Connected Backyard DesignBefore choosing a color or paver pattern, it helps to understand elevations, water flow, soil and the connection to the house. These details, plus any covered structure or utilities, shape a durable and practical construction plan.
We begin with your property, the existing grade and patio condition, the desired uses and the surrounding home or pool. From there we define feasible materials, construction requirements and the scope of work.
Share the address, yard and patio photos, dimensions if available, inspiration and a working budget.
Review drainage, access, elevations, nearby structures, intended seating and covered-area options.
Discuss pavers, concrete finishes, transitions, permits, HOA guidelines and structural engineering where applicable.
Complete the approved work and walk through the finished patio, drainage details and care considerations.
A successful patio balances appearance, function and construction conditions. We will discuss how drainage, structural requirements, permitting and weather exposure influence your proposed layout before work is scheduled.
Explore covered patio, poolside and backyard gathering images to help clarify the size, feel and features you would like for your own project.



Whether you are replacing a small concrete patio, installing pavers or creating a covered backyard living area, start with your property and the outdoor experience you want to create.

Every yard, patio and drainage condition is different. Here are common questions to help you plan your next outdoor improvement.
Depending on the property and approved scope, patio projects can include new concrete slabs, paver areas, covered patios and lanais, expansions, replacements and connected poolside hardscape.
Both may be suitable. Pavers offer layout and pattern flexibility, while concrete offers a continuous surface with several finish options. Site preparation, drainage, upkeep and your design goals will help determine the better fit.
Often, yes. We first need to evaluate the existing slab or paving, adjacent grades, access, drainage and any structures the new patio would connect to.
A covered area may be possible after reviewing setbacks, structural requirements, roof connections, wind design, permitting and the existing foundation. A roofed project is more involved than an uncovered patio.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction, patio scope, impervious surface and whether structural, electrical or other permitted work is involved. We review the applicable approvals and HOA rules before construction.
Proper grading, drainage planning, surface pitch and the relationship to the home and adjoining yard are important. Actual drainage solutions depend on site conditions.
Price depends on square footage, material choice, demolition, excavation, site access, drainage, patio cover, finishes and other features. Share your address and photos so we can discuss a realistic preliminary scope.
Send the property address, photos of the current yard or patio, approximate dimensions, material and cover preferences, inspiration images, budget and ideal timeline.
Share a few backyard photos and tell us what would make the space work better for you.
