Add Usable Outdoor Space With Custom Patios and Decks

JP Landscaping LLC designs and installs patios and decks that fit your property and lifestyle in Port Orchard.

A patio or deck gives you a place to sit outside without dealing with wet grass, uneven ground, or mud tracked into the house. In Port Orchard, where rain is common and yards stay damp for months, a raised or paved surface lets you use your outdoor space more often. You can set up furniture, a grill, or planters without worrying about sinking into soft soil or cleaning off puddles every time you step outside.

JP Landscaping LLC builds patios using pavers, stone, or concrete, and constructs decks with pressure-treated lumber or composite materials depending on your budget and maintenance preferences. Each project starts with a site visit to measure the area, check slope and drainage, and talk through how you plan to use the space. Deck installations include posts set in concrete, joists spaced to code, and railings that meet local height and spacing requirements.

How Patios and Decks Are Built for Durability

Building a patio in Port Orchard involves excavating the area, adding a compacted gravel base, and setting pavers or pouring concrete with a slight slope so water runs off instead of pooling. JP Landscaping LLC uses edge restraints to keep pavers from shifting and checks the level throughout the install to avoid low spots. For decks, posts are set at least two feet into the ground with concrete footings, and ledger boards are lag-bolted to the house with flashing to prevent water intrusion.

When the project is finished, you will have a stable, level surface that stays dry after rain and does not develop soft spots or wobble when you walk across it. The deck will feel solid underfoot, and the patio will drain cleanly without leaving standing water.

Materials are chosen based on how much sun and moisture the area receives, whether you want a low-maintenance finish, and how the color and texture match your home. This service does not include built-in seating, pergolas, or lighting, but those can be added later. Once the patio or deck is in place, you will notice how much more time you spend outside, even on cooler or overcast days.

Common Questions Before Installing a Patio or Deck

Homeowners in Port Orchard often ask about materials, costs, and what to expect during construction. These answers address the most common concerns before starting a patio or deck project.

What is the difference between a patio and a deck?
A patio sits on the ground with a gravel and sand base, while a deck is a raised platform built with posts and joists. Patios work well on flat or gently sloped lots, and decks are better for steep or uneven terrain.
How long does patio or deck installation take?
Most patio projects take three to five days, and deck builds take five to ten days depending on size and site access. Weather and material availability can affect the timeline.
What type of wood or material lasts longest in Port Orchard?
Pressure-treated lumber resists rot and insects but needs staining every few years, while composite decking does not splinter or fade and requires less upkeep. JP Landscaping LLC can walk you through the pros and cons of each.
Why do some decks feel bouncy or uneven?
Joists spaced too far apart or posts that were not set deep enough cause flexing and movement. Proper framing and footing depth keep the deck stable and level.
When should I add a patio instead of a deck?
If your yard is mostly flat and you want a surface that blends with landscaping, a patio is often less expensive and easier to maintain. Decks work better when you need to match door height or build over a slope.
