Severna Park Hardscaping — Benfield & Shipley's Choice

Severna Park concrete and hardscaping we install is mostly for the 1970s–1990s colonials and ranchers of Benfield, Shipley’s Choice, Chartridge, and Olde Severna Park, plus newer high-end homes in The Reserve at Severna Park and Enclave at Oak Hill. Many homes have an aging slab patio or none at all. Owners add paver patios, stamped concrete entertaining areas, walkways, and retaining walls. We design every surface to drain away from the foundation and build base prep rated for Maryland freeze-thaw. MHIC #113057.

Our Concrete & Hardscaping Process in Severna Park

On-site consultation to walk the yard, check grade and drainage, and discuss material and layout. We produce a layout and a line-item budget, plus engineering for taller walls. Build: excavate 6–8 inches, compact crushed stone base in lifts, and set pavers or pour and finish concrete — pitched to drain away from the house. Pavers get polymeric sand and edge restraint; concrete is control-jointed. Seat walls and retaining walls are built on proper footings or with geogrid where engineered. We grade and seed disturbed areas before leaving. A standard patio runs 1–2 weeks; larger builds and walls add time. Anne Arundel County permits and HOA submittals, where required, are handled by PRG.

Hardscaping creates the foundation for your outdoor living spaces. PRG installs concrete patios, paver walkways, retaining walls, and drainage solutions that stand up to Maryland weather and complement your landscape.

Concrete & Hardscaping for Severna Park Homes

Severna Park is one of Anne Arundel County's most desirable communities, with excellent schools and proximity to both Baltimore and Annapolis. Many homes here were built in the 1970s-1990s and need kitchen and bathroom updates for modern living. Even high-end new builds like The Reserve at Severna Park and Enclave at Oak Hill often need custom decks, screened porches, and built-in cabinetry that builders don't include. PRG works on projects ranging from kitchen remodels in established colonials to outdoor living spaces in planned communities throughout Severna Park.

Do You Need a Permit for Concrete & Hardscaping in Severna Park, MD?

In Anne Arundel County, at-grade concrete and paver patios are generally exempt from permits, but retaining walls over 4 feet, walls with footings, and grading or drainage near property lines may require permits and engineering. Permits are filed with the Anne Arundel County Office of Inspections and Permits. HOA communities like Shipley’s Choice and The Reserve review exterior hardscaping; PRG prepares the HOA submittal along with any county application. We confirm requirements during the estimate.

Concrete & Hardscaping FAQ for Severna Park, MD

Can you replace the old slab patio on my Benfield or Shipley’s Choice home?

Yes. Many 1970s–1990s Severna Park homes have a cracked, settled concrete slab. We demolish and remove it, rebuild the base properly with compacted crushed stone, and install a new paver or stamped-concrete patio pitched to drain away from the foundation — often correcting the original grading that caused the old slab to fail.

Does my Severna Park HOA need to approve a patio?

In HOA communities like Shipley’s Choice and The Reserve, yes — they review exterior hardscaping materials, layout, and visible changes. PRG prepares the HOA submittal along with any Anne Arundel County permit application for walls or drainage so both approvals are secured before we start.

How much does a paver patio cost in Severna Park?

Pavers run $15–$30 per square foot, with premium lines common in The Reserve and Enclave at Oak Hill at the upper end. A typical 300–400 sq ft patio lands around $6,000–$12,000. Broom-finished concrete runs $8–$15 and stamped $12–$20. Seat walls and retaining walls add $30–$60 per square foot of wall face. Demolition and drainage are priced separately.

How much does a patio cost in Maryland?

Patio costs vary by material and size. Concrete patios run $8-$15/sq ft installed. Paver patios cost $15-$30/sq ft depending on paver style. A typical 300 sq ft patio costs $2,500-$5,000 for concrete or $5,000-$10,000 for pavers. Complex designs with curves, borders, or multiple paver colors cost more.

Should I choose concrete or pavers for my patio?

Concrete is more affordable and low-maintenance; pavers cost more but offer more design options and easier repairs. Read our full concrete vs. pavers comparison.

Do I need a permit for a patio or retaining wall?

In Anne Arundel and Howard County, small patios at grade typically don't require permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet in height require permits and engineering. Walls that retain a slope, support a structure, or affect drainage may also need permits regardless of height. We'll determine permit requirements during your estimate.

How long does concrete need to cure before I can use it?

You can walk on concrete after 24-48 hours. Light furniture can go on after 3-4 days. Vehicles should wait 7-10 days. Full cure takes 28 days, during which you should avoid heavy loads and deicing chemicals. We'll provide specific care instructions for your project based on weather conditions and concrete mix.
