Patios, Walkways, and Backyard Hardscapes
Custom Patio Design and Build
We approach each patio as a site-specific project. We'll look at how the land slopes, where the sun hits throughout the day, and how you plan to use the space. Whether you're picturing a quiet morning coffee spot or a built-in grill and fire pit, we'll create a layout that fits your lifestyle. Our designs often include seating walls, lighting, and multiple surfaces that help define zones within the yard. We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, and stamped finishes, each selected based on visual goals and long-term performance.
Walkways and Stone Paths
Walkways provide structure, accessibility, and visual flow throughout your property. We build straight, curved, and patterned paths that connect entryways, patios, gardens, and driveways. Maine's freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on improperly installed walkways, but our compacted bases, slope control, and high-quality pavers reduce movement and help prevent heaving. We can also integrate steps, borders, and lighting into your walkway project.
Retaining Walls and Outdoor Features
When the backyard calls for more than a flat surface, we can design and install retaining walls that shape the terrain and prevent erosion. These walls can also provide seating or visual definition to your patio area. We often combine these elements with garden beds, grill stations, or fire features to create a complete outdoor setting. Everything is built to code, and all materials are selected for Maine weather.
Why Homeowners Choose Newcomb Builders
Years of Local Hardscaping Experience
Our team has over two decades of experience building in Central Maine. We know what materials hold up to local winters and how to build outdoor living spaces that still look great years later. Our projects are designed for long-term durability and tailored to fit the architecture of your home.
We Handle Every Step In-House
You won't need to manage multiple contractors. We take care of the layout, materials, excavation, drainage, and installation. That means no confusion about who's doing what, no miscommunications, and a much smoother construction process from start to finish.
Built To Withstand Maine's Climate
Our patios are designed to handle moisture, snow loads, and temperature swings. That means proper base preparation, correct slope for drainage, and material choices that resist spalling, cracking, or erosion. We're not guessing at what works here—we've built outdoor spaces in Lewiston, Auburn, and Portland through every kind of weather Maine can offer.
Material and Finish Options
Natural Stone and Flagstone Patios
Natural stone adds visual depth and variety to any outdoor setting. We install flagstone, bluestone, and granite patios with dry-laid or mortared joints depending on the look and performance you want. These materials work well in Maine's landscape and pair beautifully with native plants and rustic home exteriors.
Paver Patios With Custom Patterns
Concrete and clay pavers offer a wide range of color and layout options. We install herringbone, running bond, basket weave, and circular patterns based on your design goals. These patios often include soldier course or sailor course borders and may include multiple paver styles to add texture and contrast.
Stamped and Decorative Concrete
For homeowners who want a solid-surface patio with texture and visual interest, we offer stamped concrete in a range of patterns and colors. Decorative borders and surface treatments can mimic natural stone while providing a cost-effective alternative. All concrete is mixed and poured to hold up through Maine's winters.

Most patio installations range from $8,000 to $30,000 depending on size, materials, and site work. Natural stone patios cost more than standard pavers, and projects that require extensive excavation or retaining walls will fall at the higher end of that range.
Natural stone and high-quality pavers perform well in freeze-thaw conditions. We recommend materials that resist moisture absorption, such as granite, concrete pavers, or sealed stamped concrete. These hold up better through seasonal cycles than porous stones or unsealed surfaces.
Yes. We manage all permitting if required by your town and handle excavation, grading, and drainage solutions in-house. You won't need to hire additional contractors or coordinate separate pieces of the job.
Yes, we regularly design patios for uneven terrain. We may use retaining walls, steps, or tiered patio sections to create usable space. Each project is adjusted to suit the existing grade and drainage conditions.
Most patio builds take one to two weeks once we break ground. Larger or more complex designs may take longer, especially if retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, or integrated lighting are involved. We'll provide a schedule before we begin.
Paver and natural stone patios require minimal maintenance—mainly periodic cleaning and joint sand replenishment. Stamped concrete may need resealing every few years depending on use and exposure. We provide care instructions for every project.
Yes. We offer full design services, including layout planning, material recommendations, and integration with your landscaping and home exterior. Some clients bring a vision to us, and others rely on us to help develop the design from scratch.
Yes. We can install low-voltage lighting, natural gas or propane fire pits, and wiring conduits for future upgrades. Many of our patio builds include pre-planned zones for cooking, seating, and lighting to improve function and aesthetics.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a warranty, and we also honor the warranties provided by the manufacturers of our pavers and stone materials. We're available to answer questions after the project is complete.
Stamped concrete offers a seamless finish and lower upfront cost, while pavers allow for easy repairs and more visual variety. The right choice depends on your priorities, site conditions, and desired look.
Dry-laid stone patios sit on a compacted base and allow for water drainage between joints. Mortared patios have a concrete base and sealed joints. Dry-laid is more flexible in freezing conditions, while mortared patios offer a more permanent surface.
We typically build patios in spring through fall. Fall is a great time to schedule if you want the project ready for next summer. Winter builds are possible if temperatures allow, but they may take longer and have added costs.
Our quotes include all labor, materials, base prep, and finishing work. If your project requires excavation, drainage solutions, or add-ons like walls or lighting, those items are listed clearly in the scope so you know what to expect.
Yes, we build walkways and garden paths as stand-alone projects or as part of a larger backyard plan. We also build front walkways and stoops that tie into existing or new patios.
We build patios and walkways throughout Central Maine, including Lewiston, Auburn, Portland, Mechanic Falls, Sabattus, Turner, Minot, and nearby towns. If you're in this area, give us a call to see if your property falls within our regular service radius.
