Improper drainage is one of the biggest challenges when adding a patio. If the area is not correctly sloped or lacks proper drainage channels, water doesn’t run off; it pools. This can lead to slippery surfaces, damage to your foundation, and costly erosion. It also shortens the life of your patio and nearby structures.
McAllister Home Builders Inc. addresses this issue from the very beginning. Before breaking ground, we evaluate slope grades, identify runoff paths, and design for year-round drainage. Our patio installation in Woodland Hills focuses on long-term function and durability, not just a quick build.
We work closely with local homeowners to ensure that each patio installation works with the natural terrain and supports the surrounding structure. Whether it’s a simple concrete patio or a paver setup with a pergola, our process begins with the ground beneath it.
The following is what makes our approach effective:
Water problems often start small and grow fast. That’s why our patio installations aren’t just built, they’re planned to stay solid through storms, sun, and seasons.
Installing a patio isn’t just about the surface; it’s what’s underneath that makes the difference. Many homeowners learn this the hard way when their pergola leans or cracks appear. Often, the root cause is weak or missing footings for patio covers or vertical posts. Without proper anchoring, the entire structure can shift or fail inspection.
McAllister Home Builders Inc. ensures that every base is properly set before any framing begins. Our patio installation in Woodland Hills includes stable concrete footings and anchoring that meet all local building codes and withstand California’s varied weather patterns.
We don’t take shortcuts. From flagstone patios with shade structures to slab patios designed for outdoor kitchens, we install with future features in mind, not just for today’s use.
What we include in structural readiness:
