Popular patio projects in Ormond Beach
- Back patios off the slider or lanai, replacing a small concrete pad.
- Lanai and screen room extensions to make room for a table and grill.

- Walkways from the driveway to the front door or around the side of the house.
- Outdoor kitchens and grill pads.
Choosing a material
- Concrete pavers are the most common and come in the widest range of colors, sizes and textures.
- Travertine is a natural stone that stays cooler underfoot and has a softer, upscale look. It is popular near pools.
- Brick or clay pavers hold their color well and suit older and traditional homes.
Lighter colors stay cooler in the Florida sun. Ask to see full-size samples outside, because colors look different in direct light.
Drainage matters in Florida
Summer storms dump a lot of water fast. A patio should slope gently away from the house so water doesn't pool against the foundation or run under the slider. Ask how the company plans to grade the patio and where the water will go.
What affects the price
- Size in square feet.
- Material. Concrete pavers, travertine and brick are priced differently.
- Shape and pattern. Curves, borders and inlays mean more cutting.
- Removing an old slab or regrading the yard.
- Extras such as seating walls, steps, fire pits and lighting.
Before you hire anyone
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation.
- Get the quote in writing, including base, edge restraint, joint sand and cleanup.
- Check HOA rules before you pick colors and sizes.
- Ask about the workmanship warranty if pavers sink or shift.

Paver Patios questions
Should I choose pavers or a concrete patio?
Concrete costs less up front but cracks over time and is hard to repair invisibly. Pavers cost more but can be relaid if a section sinks, and they come in many more colors and patterns.
Can a paver patio go under a screen enclosure?
Yes. Pavers are often laid inside existing screen rooms or under a new enclosure. If an enclosure will be added later, tell the paver company so they can plan for the footer.
How long does a patio take to install?
Most residential patios take a few days. Larger projects with walls, steps or outdoor kitchens take longer.
Do I need a permit for a paver patio?
Often not for a simple patio on your own lot, but rules depend on the project and lot coverage, so check with the City of Ormond Beach and your HOA before work starts.
