Over the past winter and spring we noticed a little bit of patio settling around our window well, and I reached out about maybe having it repaired. BR Design Build sent someone out ASAP to address the settling and it is back to perfect. I can't recommend them highly enough. It turns out the settling was not even due to improper patio installation, but the builder of my house did not compact the soil well enough around the window well.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Pamela TurnerWe hired BR Design Build to install a hardscape around our new Generac Generator. The frame was made of tiles that matched our patio floor. The frame was filled with river cobble stones. We also had Craig install a ramp made of matching tiles, in front of our shed. We have worked with BR Design Build on other projects including retaining walls, soil erosion solutions, French drain installation and walkways.The quality of the work is always excellent and the prices are reasonable. I am already planning to hire Craig and his team for a future project next year. We would recommend BR Design Build to design all your landscaping needs.+0Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Don WesnerBR Design was very helpful with practical ideas and installed a beautiful walkway entrance to my property. His team was very diligent, professional and I would highly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.George LucasSuperb customer service and craftsmanship on a complete pool and deck resurfacing. Great prices, too. I recommend Craig, Rene, and the team at BD Building & Design enthusiastically!VerifiedKate C.Highly, highly recommend BR Design Build! Craig is a rare gem in his field and then some--an absolute wealth of knowledge. He provided practical, effective, and beautiful solutions to every issue I have (many!). He is honest, relatable, and genuinely likes helping people specific to their budget and desires.VerifiedRuss S.This company was great to work with. From the initial contact with Craig ( came out and discussed what we wanted and provided an initial quote that was competitive and very close to final price). Crew arrived on time and worked diligently. We were removing a lot of landscape around original patio and extending the original patio by replacing with pavers. The crew dug up and disposed of old plants/bushes. BR researched the type of paver that was used on original portion of patio (we were 2nd owner and didn't have records) and the new stones matched really well. They Had to work around an initial design and the final outcome looked great. The crew cleaned up after themselves and left the property looking as they found it. Craig and team were all friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend them for patio work.VerifiedHeather G.Craig is an absolute angel. We had work done to regrade our front yard, install a silt trap and have two pop ups put in. Our HOA was a nightmare about it and Craig was professional and fantastic throughout the entire process. His team not only did a fantastic job, they came back and moved one of the pop-ups back by a few inches after the HOA came around with a measuring tape. I cannot recommend BR Design Build more highly.VerifiedChris J.We had several projects that needed to be completed around our home including a patio and walkway, as well as tree planting. I must say from the very start Craig, was a pleasure to work with, from our first meeting all the way through the process. He walked our property with me as I explained to him what it was we were looking for and gave insights and suggestions that were within my budget. Most contractors that came out gave inflated estimates and were trying to price with "add ons" that were not needed. Once we chose BR, Craig was top notch all the way. He was communicative, open, honest, and most of all......on time. I can not tell you how refreshing that is!! Most contractors I have ever dealt with are all over the place with time frames and scheduling (what's new right). But BR was different. Once contracted they gave specific deadlines and not only met every one of them, but were finished early!! Early and quality work they will stand by. Amazing in this day and age! BR workers were just as friendly and polite as their principle. I would highly recommend BR Design and build. I would choose them again and again based on this very pleasant and easy transaction. Craig Smith and his team at BR Design and Build are fantastic. Thank you!VerifiedKathleen A.My experience with Craig and his crew was exceptional. The job was fairly small. He extended a flower bed, tilled in a large amount of rich soil and helped me pick out shrubs and a tree. They planted and mulched. He also installed a brick walkway between my neighbors' driveway and mine. His crew was very professional and punctual. Craig did a larger job for my neighbor and we have both had compliments on jobs well done. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.VerifiedTamika S.What an amazing experience. From start to finish, Craig has been responsive. It poured down raining and when I tell you my yard is so dry, I am so impressed with his work to waterproof my yard. We are now hoping to use him to section off our yard and design us a new backyard. You won't be disappointed. Very up front, honest and reasonable!!! A++++

The cost of patio construction in Millersville varies based on the size of the patio, the materials selected, and the complexity of the design. Because every project is custom, the most accurate way to get pricing is through a free consultation where we evaluate your specific property and goals.
We work with quality paving materials from Belgard, Cambridge, and Techo-Bloc, selected based on your design preferences, property conditions, and budget. We are ICPI and NCMA member contractors, and every paver installation meets industry standards for performance and longevity.
A hardscaping project can include patios, paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, and masonry features. We start with a hardscaping design that maps out how these elements work together, so your patio and surrounding features form one cohesive outdoor space rather than a set of separate additions.
A patio is any defined outdoor surface for seating, dining, or gathering, and it can be built from several materials. Paver patios use individual units set over a prepared base, which allows for a wide range of colors and patterns and gives your patio design flexibility. We help you weigh the options during the hardscaping design phase.
