From design to installation, DiStefano is the premier hardscaping service provider throughout Chester and Delaware Counties. Our
committment is strictly focused on our customers and building solutions that deliver the outdoor living space of their dreams. Bringing your dream backyard to life requires skill, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. By working with DiStefano, you have access to a team that specializes in a variety of hardscape structures, including patios, walkways, retaining walls, fireplaces, fire pits, pizza ovens, and driveways.
But, why choose a hardscape patio over a traditional deck? There are several key benefits, two of which stand out from the rest. These include the fact that a hardscape patio requires virtually no maintenance and offers a long-term solution due to its durability in contrast to wood. So, why choose DiStefano over all other options?
A key factor that sets us apart from the rest is our ability to offer a number of top paving brands and materials to our clients. Some of our top-rated choices include EP Henry, Techo-Bloc, Cambridge, and natural materials including stone, brick, and flagstone. This means that regardless of what you’re looking for, you can find it here.

Design Tailored to Meet Your Unique Lifestyle and Preferences
No two customers are alike, and we are well aware of the different needs and preferences that each of our customers have. That’s why when you choose DiStefano, we offer a free initial consultation that walks you through each step to get you closer to your dream yard.
We offer functional designs that can accommodate your needs regarding children and pets. And, with the addition of an outdoor kitchen, landscaping, landscape lighting, water features, pergolas, or a fireplace, you can take your outdoor space to an entirely new level.
An Installation Process That Maximizes Safety, Efficiency, and Quality
Installation can be complex, but the professionals at DiStefano make it simple by obtaining all necessary permits prior to installation and calling 811 to ensure the safety of your dig.
We excavate 9-11” deep (12-14” for driveways) and 6” wider (1” wider for driveways) than the finished edge of your patio and use our equipment to compact the soil. Then, we install premium geo-textile fabric for drainage and to protect your investment. After, we use 2A state certified stone aggregate and compact it to 95%- 98% proctor density and test with a dynamic cone penetrometer to ensure proper density of the materials.
To finish, we screen 1” of concrete sand to minimize shifting and movement, which is followed by the actual installation of the pavers and edge restraints, followed by compacting the pavers. Finishing includes sweeping in polymeric sand and grading, seeding, and strawing any areas of your land disturbed by the installation process.
DiStefano Makes Hardscaping Design and Installation Simple
Rotting boards, staining, and splintering can make traditional wood decks a hassle. However, when you choose DiStefano, you can have access to hardscaping services that deliver beautiful solutions with a 3-year applied use warranty and in a variety of finishes.
