Outdoor Surfaces That Connect and Function
Custom patio and walkway installation for residential and commercial properties throughout Ocean & Monmouth county.

If you need a patio that handles furniture and foot traffic or a walkway that stays level through rain and winter, these surfaces are designed for flow, accessibility, and long-term performance. In Brick, Toms River, Manasquan and the surrounding areas, patios and walkways address drainage issues tied to coastal water tables, salt air exposure, and temperature swings that cause concrete to crack. This work is common for backyard living spaces, storefronts, office entries, and HOA common areas.


Capstone Landscape Design builds patios and walkways with attention to clean finishes and integration with surrounding landscapes. Materials are selected based on what the site requires, whether that means permeable pavers over sandy soil or slip-resistant stone near pool areas. The company is BBB accredited, fully licensed, insured and bonded for residential and commercial work in New Jersey, and free consultations are available.

Layout planning and surface installation methods

The layout is planned to match traffic patterns, furniture placement, and accessibility needs. The site is excavated to proper depth, graded to direct water away from structures, and compacted in layers. Base materials are installed based on load requirements, with thicker bases used for driveways and lighter bases for foot-traffic-only areas. Edge restraints are installed along borders to prevent shifting.


After installation, you will notice level surfaces that drain quickly during storms and stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles. Walkways no longer puddle or heave, patios remain flat without rocking furniture, and entry areas provide safe, slip-resistant access year-round.


This service does not include routine power washing or resealing unless contracted separately. It focuses on building durable surfaces designed to last without ongoing maintenance. Most residential projects are completed within one to two weeks depending on size, material selection, and weather conditions.

What people ask before starting a project

Homeowners and property managers in Brick, Manasquan, Wall Township or the surrounding areas often want to know how patios and walkways are designed, what materials work best, and how long installation takes. Below are answers to the most common questions about these projects.

What materials are used for patios and walkways?
Common materials include concrete pavers, natural stone, brick, and permeable pavers. Your choice depends on aesthetic preference, budget, and whether the site requires drainage management.
How are walkways designed for accessibility?
Walkways are graded with a gentle slope to meet ADA standards where required, and surfaces are chosen for slip resistance. Width and turning radius are planned based on expected use and local code.
Why do patios and walkways settle or crack?
Settlement occurs when base layers are not compacted properly or when soil beneath the surface erodes. Cracking happens in concrete when freeze-thaw cycles expand trapped water or when there is no control joint.
What size patio is typical for a backyard?

Most backyard patios in our service area range from 200 to 400 square feet, large enough for a dining table and seating area. Size depends on yard dimensions, furniture needs, and how you plan to use the space.

When should patios and walkways be installed?

Spring and fall offer the best weather for base compaction and material placement. Summer heat can speed drying but may require additional water management, while winter work throughout Ocean and Monmouth county depends on ground conditions.

Capstone Landscape Design has been building patios and walkways since 2006, with direct owner involvement on every project. If you need outdoor surfaces that connect spaces, handle heavy use, and stay level through New Jersey weather, get in touch for a free consultation.
