1. Concrete patios: These are the most popular and cost-effective option. They are durable and low maintenance, and can be stamped or stained to add texture and color.
2. Paver patios: These are made from interlocking concrete or natural stone pavers. They offer a wide range of design options, and can be laid in a variety of patterns and colors.
3. Natural stone patios: These are made from natural stone such as granite, flagstone, or slate. They offer a more natural and rustic look and can be laid in a variety of patterns.
4. Brick patios: These are made from clay or concrete bricks and offer a classic and traditional look.
5. Wood patios: These are made from wood such as cedar or redwood and offer a warm and natural look. They do require regular maintenance, such as staining or sealing to protect from weather and pests.
6. Stamped Concrete Patios: These are made from concrete and can be stamped to resemble different materials such as brick, stone, or even wood.
7. Composite patios: These are made from composite materials such as Trex, which are a mixture of wood fibers and plastic. They are low maintenance, and can be molded into various shapes and sizes.
8. Custom patios: Designed to meet the specific needs and preferences of the customer.

1. Initial consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with the customer to discuss their needs and preferences for their patio installation. During this meeting, we gather information about the size and location of the patio, the materials the customer is interested in, any specific design elements they would like to include, and their budget.
2. Site assessment and design: The next step is for Leonards Landscaping Inc. to conduct a site assessment to determine the best location for the patio and to evaluate the current condition of the area. We will then create a design plan that incorporates the customer's preferences and the site conditions.
3. Estimate and contract: Once the design has been approved by the customer, we will provide an estimate for the cost of the project. If the customer agrees to the estimate, a contract will be signed.
4. Permits and approvals: If necessary, the landscaping company will obtain any necessary permits or approvals from the local government or homeowners association.
5. Site preparation: Before the patio installation can begin, we will prepare the site by removing any existing vegetation or debris, grading the area, and compacting the soil.
6. Installation: The patio installation process will vary depending on the type of patio being installed. For example, a concrete patio will be poured and finished, while a paver patio will be laid in a specific pattern. Leonards Landscaping Inc. will make sure to follow the design plan and to use the materials specified in the contract.
7. Cleanup and inspection: Once the patio installation is complete, we will clean up the site and conduct a final inspection to ensure the patio meets the customers standards and the customer's satisfaction.
8. Maintenance and warranty: We will provide maintenance instructions for the customer and will be available for any future repairs and maintenance needs. We also provide a warranty on our work and materials used.

The time it takes for us to install a patio can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the patio, the materials being used, the complexity of the design, and the weather conditions. On average, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to complete a patio installation. However, some larger or more complex projects could take several months to complete. It's best to consult with Kyle or a Leonards Landscaping Inc. representative to get a more accurate estimate for the timeline of your specific project.
