Build an Outdoor Space That Looks Good and Works Right

Custom patio installation in Kalamazoo, Richland, Portage, Mattawan, and surrounding areas

A patio should do more than give you a place to put chairs. It should fit your property, handle water correctly, and create a space you actually enjoy using. At Soil Friends Excavation, we install patios with the groundwork in mind first. That means proper excavation, base preparation, grading, and drainage before the finish materials ever go down.
We build patios for homeowners who want a space that feels clean, solid, and built to last. Whether you're planning a simple sitting area, a paver patio for entertaining, or a larger outdoor living space with steps, edging, and surrounding landscape work, we help make sure the installation matches the property and the use of the space.
As a licensed builder, we look at more than surface appearance. Slope, water movement, nearby foundations, existing grades, and material choice all matter. We offer excavation, trucking, base prep, grading, and final installation so the patio is built as a complete system.

What goes into a well-built patio?

What goes into a well-built patio?

A quality patio starts below the surface. We focus on the parts of the project that matter most:


  • Excavation and removal of unsuitable material
  • Proper base installation and compaction
  • Grading for drainage and performance
  • Paver, stone, and hardscape layout
  • Edging, transitions, and surrounding finish work
  • Drainage solutions when needed around the patio area

More than just a patio surface

Many patio problems start with poor prep or water issues. We understand how patios tie into the rest of the yard. If your project needs drainage improvements, grade correction, retaining features, or excavation around the patio space, we can help create a plan that fits the whole area.
