Patio Installation — Burnaby, BC
Burnaby's varied terrain means patio projects here range from straightforward flat-lot installations in Metrotown to complex multi-level designs carved into Capitol Hill slopes. Burnaby Heights properties with inlet views call for patios that frame the sightline, while Deer Lake area homes surrounded by mature trees need surfaces that handle shade, moisture, and leaf debris without becoming slippery. Edmonds and Brentwood townhouse complexes want compact, efficient outdoor spaces that punch above their footprint. The diversity of Burnaby's built environment means no two patios we install here are the same — and that is exactly how it should be.
Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights slopes require patios to be carved into the hillside with retaining wall integration — the patio is not just a surface but a structural element.
Dense tree canopy around Deer Lake and Edmonds deposits sap, needles, and leaves that stain patio surfaces and promote moss growth in shaded areas.
Mixed soil conditions — glacial till on the heights, clay in the lowlands — demand different sub-base designs depending on the neighbourhood.
Townhouse complexes in Brentwood and Metrotown have limited access for equipment, requiring hand-delivery of materials and smaller compaction equipment.
We match the patio design to Burnaby's neighbourhood conditions. Hillside installations on Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights get integrated retaining walls with the patio surface leveled into the cut. Flat Metrotown and Edmonds lots get standard compacted bases with drainage slope toward garden beds. Shaded properties near Deer Lake get textured pavers or tumbled stone that resist algae better than smooth finishes. For every Burnaby patio, the sub-base depth reflects the soil conditions we find during excavation — not a generic spec pulled from a manual.
Patio installation in Burnaby typically ranges from $5,000 to $25,000. Flat-lot installations in Metrotown and Edmonds start at the lower end. Hillside patios on Capitol Hill with retaining wall integration, or premium natural stone on Burnaby Heights lots with view orientation, push toward the higher end.

Patio Installation across every neighbourhood in Burnaby.
Yes — hillside patios are one of our specialties. On Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights, we cut into the slope, install a retaining wall to hold the uphill side, and build the patio on a leveled, compacted base within the cut. The retaining wall handles the grade change while the patio surface drains away from the house. This approach creates usable flat space on lots that otherwise slope too steeply for outdoor living.
Textured concrete pavers and tumbled natural stone resist moss better than smooth-finished surfaces because they dry faster. For heavily shaded properties near Deer Lake, we recommend pavers with a slightly rougher texture that discourages moss adhesion, combined with polymeric joint sand that inhibits growth between pavers. Annual pressure washing is still recommended for Burnaby's shadiest spots.
Every Burnaby patio slopes at a minimum two-percent grade away from the house toward a permeable area or catch basin. On hillside lots, we integrate a channel drain at the uphill edge to intercept runoff from the slope above. Flat lots get surface slope plus a gravel drainage strip at the patio perimeter. The goal is zero standing water on the surface — Burnaby's rain demands it.
