Excellent service! Really friendly people! Our front walkway looks amazing at a very reasonable cost. We look forward to working with them again on other projects.

This company is one of the good ones. I reached out in the fall last year to discuss a big stamped concrete patio project that we were tentatively planning to do this spring. The project involved the demolition of an existing concrete patio and paver patio. It was very easy to schedule a consultation.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Inspired Design & Contracting on installing a new concrete driveway. We were very impressed with the quality of the product and the workmanship. All the staff were great to work with. We are a repeat customer as they also installed a brick patio last summer. I would highly recommend this company.

I had Inspired Design and Contracting put in a new retaining wall and replace my concrete steps and sidewalk and I’m very happy with the end product. I got quotes from 3 contractors, and Jim’s proposal was the most thorough as well as the most reasonably priced. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and quick to resolve a few minor things. I highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions

What types of services does Inspired Designs & Contracting offer?

Inspired Designs & Contracting specializes in a range of outdoor living and hardscaping services, including stamped concrete patios, paver patio installations, driveway paving, custom firepits and fireplaces, retaining walls, and pergola installations. Our team has over 25 years of experience, ensuring every project is crafted with precision, durability, and style.

What are the benefits of using stamped concrete for my patio or driveway?

Stamped concrete provides both beauty and durability at an affordable price. It can mimic the look of high-end materials like brick, slate, and stone, but with less maintenance. It’s also highly customizable, allowing you to choose from a variety of patterns, textures, and colors. Stamped concrete is a versatile option that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property but also increases its overall value.

How long does a typical project take to complete?

The timeline for completing a project varies based on its size and complexity. For most residential projects, such as patio installations or driveway paving, it typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks from start to finish. Larger projects, like complete outdoor living transformations, may take a bit longer. We always provide a clear project timeline during the initial consultation, and our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.

How do I choose between stamped concrete and paver patios?

The choice between stamped concrete and paver patios depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and maintenance needs. Stamped concrete offers a seamless look with a variety of patterns and colors that can mimic high-end materials like stone or wood. It’s generally more affordable and quicker to install. Pavers, on the other hand, provide a classic, modular look with excellent durability and easy repair options. Both are great choices for patios, walkways, and driveways, and we can help you determine the best option based on your specific project requirements.

What should I consider when planning my outdoor living space?

When planning your outdoor living space, consider your lifestyle and how you intend to use the area. Do you want a cozy spot for family gatherings, an outdoor kitchen for entertaining, or a tranquil retreat for relaxation? Think about functionality, materials, and design elements like seating areas, shade structures, fire features, and lighting. Our design team will work closely with you to create a custom space that fits your vision and budget.

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on your work?

Yes, we stand by the quality of our workmanship and offer a custom warranty on all installations, including patios, driveways, and retaining walls. We use only premium-grade materials and adhere to the highest standards of craftsmanship to ensure your outdoor spaces are built to last. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction means we’re always here to support you, even after the project is complete. Contact us to learn more about our specific warranties for the services you're interesed in.
