A Patio That Works as Hard as You Do
Most backyards in Arlington, Lexington, and Winchester have more potential than they show. A cracked concrete slab, a patchy lawn, or dead space between the house and the fence is probably not what you pictured when you bought the place.
A well-designed patio changes how you use your home. It becomes the place where the cookout happens, where the kids play, and where you actually sit outside at the end of a long day. It adds real value to your property, and in this market, curb appeal and outdoor living spaces carry serious weight.
At Craig’s Landscaping, we’ve been one of Arlington’s patio companies for over 30 years. We design and build patios and outdoor living spaces across the Boston suburbs, and we handle everything — design, materials, installation — so you’re not coordinating between a designer and a separate crew.
One team, start to finish.

Patio Materials We Work With
Concrete Pavers
The most popular choice for New England patios. Durable, versatile, and available in dozens of shapes, colors, and patterns. If one paver cracks or shifts, it can be replaced individually — a big advantage over poured concrete.
Works well for everything from simple rectangular patios to complex custom designs.
Natural Stone
If you want a high-end, timeless look, natural stone delivers. Bluestone is a classic for New England outdoor spaces — it’s durable, ages beautifully, and complements both traditional and contemporary homes. Granite and fieldstone are popular for steps and accent walls.
Natural stone patios give a truly timeless look.
Brick
Brick patios suit colonial and traditional-style homes especially well, which makes them a natural fit in neighborhoods across Arlington and Lexington.
Classic look, available in a variety of colors, excellent durability, and low maintenance.
It’s hard to go wrong with a brick patio.
Poured Concrete
A practical, lower-cost option for straightforward patio applications. We can add texture, color, or stamped patterns to improve the aesthetic.
Given the process of pouring concrete, this option is best suited for simpler layouts.

Why Homeowners in Arlington, Lexington & Winchester Choose Craig's Landscaping
We've been doing this since long before you bought the house.
Craig Gallagher founded this company over 30 years ago. The leadership team has deep roots in the Arlington, Lexington, and Winchester communities — we know the soil types, the frost line, the architectural styles, and the HOA considerations that affect patio projects in this area.
We're employee-owned and community-invested.
This isn’t a franchise. Every person on our team has a stake in the quality of our work. When you hire Craig’s, you’re working with people who care about their reputation in your town.
You'll see your patio before we build it.
Our CAD design process means you’re not guessing what the finished patio will look like. We produce a detailed visual of the design, walk through it with you, and refine it until it’s exactly what you want. No surprises.
One crew. No handoffs.
We don’t design your patio and hand it off to a subcontractor to build. Our crew handles design and installation — which means fewer miscommunications, better quality control, and a team that’s accountable from first sketch to final cleanup.
Craig’s did an excellent job putting a new and enlarged patio with stone pavers in our backyard. The men who did the work were experts! They knew exactly what they were doing and did it exceptionally well. I couldn’t be happier!
