Outdoor & paver patios in Egg Harbor Township.
Outdoor work in EHT runs the range — paver patios for backyards in the developments off Tilton Road, fire features and pergolas for the established homes on bigger lots, and the occasional full outdoor kitchen build on a lot that has the room for it. EHT's mainland soil is generally workable, though parts of the township have a high water table that makes drainage planning matter. We run drainage assessments at the walkthrough, dig deep enough on the base, and grade properly. Pergolas anchored to footings to frost depth. Two to three weeks for a typical paver-patio-and-pergola job from the day we break ground.
Egg Harbor Township is about 12 minutes from our Mays Landing shop. Suburban mainland: 1970s–1990s ranches and split-levels in Bargaintown and McKee City, newer developments off Tilton Road, scattered older farmhouses on the township's edges. Township ZIPs covered: 08234, 08232. Free walkthroughs same-week, written estimates the next business day.
What we build in the yard
Outdoor builds fail in two places: drainage and base prep. We don't skip either.
- 01
Paver patios
Belgard, Cambridge, Techo-Bloc. Proper sub-base depth, polymeric sand joints, edge restraints. Sealed when you want them.
- 02
Pergolas
Cedar, fir, or composite-wrapped. Anchored to concrete footings, not just to the patio.
- 03
Fire pits & features
Wood-burning or gas, brick or stone surround. Code-distance from house and trees.
- 04
Fencing
Vinyl, aluminum, cedar, chain-link. Footings to frost depth, gates that swing for years.
- 05
Screen rooms
Existing patio enclosed with proper headers, screen walls, and a real roof.
- 06
Drainage & grading
French drains, dry wells, regrading away from the house. The unsexy stuff that prevents basement floods.
From the first call to the punch list.
Every project goes through these four phases. We don't skip steps.

Outdoor & paver patios in Egg Harbor Township — questions we hear.
-
How do you handle EHT's building department for permits?
Egg Harbor Township's permit process is straightforward for residential remodels and additions — we pull the permit, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and shepherd the back-and-forth. Turnaround on standard residential permits is usually 2–3 weeks. Coastal flood zone parts of the township (closer to the bay) add review time, which we factor into the project schedule up front so it doesn't surprise you mid-project.
-
How thick should the paver base be?
6 inches of compacted aggregate for a patio, 8+ for a driveway. We don't skim this; that's how patios end up wavy after one winter.
-
Do I need a permit for a patio?
Most NJ townships, no — patios are usually under the threshold. Pergolas, fences over a certain height, and anything attached to the house, yes. We check before we dig.
-
Can you tie a paver patio into an existing deck?
Yes — we step it down properly so water flows away, and we transition cleanly so it looks intentional, not improvised.
-
How do you handle drainage?
Patios are pitched away from the house at a quarter inch per foot, minimum. If there's standing water in the yard now, we add drainage to the scope before we ever lay a paver.
