A natural stone patio is one of the best upgrades you can make to a West GTA backyard. But real stone is heavy, and it only stays flat when the base underneath is built right. Most stone patios that heave or wobble were set on thin gravel with no drainage. After a few Ontario winters, the stone lifts and the joints open up.
McCoy builds natural stone patios that hold their shape for decades. We design the layout around how you use the space, then set every stone on a deep, compacted base with proper drainage. Dining zones, lounge areas, and fire feature spots all get planned before the first stone goes down.
No two McCoy patios are identical. Here are the stone patio styles we build most often across Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Milton homes.
Natural split flagstone laid for a timeless, high-end look.
Large stone patios with dining and lounge zones built in.
Slip-resistant, heat-resistant stone surrounds for pools.
Tiered builds that handle grade with stone steps and walls.
Patios built around fire pits and outdoor fireplaces.
Natural stone accents blended with paver fields for value.
Full flagstone patio, natural stone seating wall, and integrated fire feature, built in a single scope.
Stone seating walls with integrated low-voltage lighting
Custom stone borders, banded accents, and pattern layouts
Fire pits (wood or gas) and pergola connections
Engineered drainage and grade transitions that hold the patio level

Most stone patio builds take 1 to 3 weeks on-site once we start. Peak season books 6 to 12 weeks ahead, call early.
Every patio is scoped to lot size, layout, feature integration, and stone selection. There is no flat per square foot quoting that misses the real story. We build the written estimate after the on-site visit, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprises, no escalations.
Every patio is priced to the lot, layout, and features. Flagstone and full-stone patios sit at different price points than pavers. We give you a written estimate after the on-site visit, not a guess over the phone.
Both are great when built right. Natural stone gives a unique, high-end look since every piece is different. Pavers offer a uniform look at a lower cost. We walk you through both during the design phase so you pick what fits your yard and budget.
Not when it is built on the right base. We excavate deep, compact the aggregate in lifts, and add drainage so water does not sit under the stone. That is what stops heaving through freeze and thaw, and it is why our 3-year warranty covers shifting and settling.
Yes. We remove the old concrete, re-prep the base properly, and set the new stone patio. It is a full upgrade, and a stone patio is repairable stone by stone if anything ever shifts.
Most builds run 1 to 3 weeks on-site, depending on size, access, and features like fire pits or seating walls. Peak season books 6 to 12 weeks ahead, so reach out early.
Very little. An occasional wash and a joint top-up every few years keeps it looking sharp. We hand off a simple care guide at the end of every build.
