Stamped Concrete Patios in Cherry Hill: A Local Homeowner's Guide
See Our Work in Action
Watch our team transform ordinary backyards into stunning outdoor living spaces.
Cherry Hill is one of South Jersey's most desirable towns — and homeowners here expect quality that matches the neighborhood. Whether you're in Barclay Farm, Woodcrest, Kingston Estates, or one of Cherry Hill's other established neighborhoods, a stamped concrete patio is one of the smartest investments you can make in your outdoor space. Here's what Cherry Hill homeowners specifically need to know.
Why Cherry Hill Homeowners Choose Stamped Concrete
Cherry Hill has a unique mix of home styles — split-levels and ranches from the 1960s, colonials from the 1980s, and newer construction scattered throughout. The one thing they share: mature landscaping, established backyards, and homeowners who take pride in their properties.
Stamped concrete is the go-to choice because:
It elevates curb appeal — In a competitive real estate market like Cherry Hill (median home value consistently above $300K), exterior upgrades directly impact property value
It handles the mature tree canopy — Cherry Hill's large shade trees mean patios deal with leaf litter, root growth, and shade. Stamped concrete's seamless surface handles all three better than pavers
It works with tight access — Many Cherry Hill backyards are accessed through narrow side yards between homes. Stamped concrete can be poured through tight access points more efficiently than hauling pallets of pavers

Cherry Hill Soil and Site Conditions
Cherry Hill sits on a mix of sandy loam and clay soils depending on which part of town you're in. This matters for your patio's base preparation:
Eastern Cherry Hill (closer to Route 70 and Marlton Pike) — Generally sandier soils with better drainage. Standard 4-inch compacted stone base is typically sufficient for patios.
Western Cherry Hill (closer to Haddonfield and Merchantville) — Heavier clay content. We typically add 2 extra inches of stone base and may recommend a French drain if the grade directs water toward the patio area.
Near Cooper River — Higher water table in some areas. We assess each property individually, but additional drainage measures may be needed.
Regardless of location, we always test the soil conditions during our free on-site estimate. No surprises during construction.
Popular Projects in Cherry Hill
Based on the projects we've completed across Cherry Hill, here's what homeowners are most commonly requesting:
Backyard Patio Expansion
Many Cherry Hill homes have a small existing concrete slab — just big enough for a grill and two chairs. The most common project is tearing out that slab and replacing it with a full-sized stamped concrete patio (300-500 sq ft) that can handle a dining table, lounge chairs, and maybe a fire pit.
Typical cost: $5,000 – $9,000 for tear-out and replacement with stamped concrete.
Pool Deck Replacement
Cherry Hill has a high concentration of in-ground pools, especially in the Barclay Farm, Erlton, and Woodcrest neighborhoods. Many of these pools were built with broom-finish or cool-deck surfaces that have deteriorated over the decades. Stamped concrete pool deck replacement is one of our most requested services here.
Typical cost: $7,000 – $15,000 depending on pool size and deck width.
Front Walkway and Step Upgrade
First impressions matter in Cherry Hill's competitive housing market. Replacing a cracked front walkway and stoop with a stamped concrete walkway and matching steps dramatically upgrades curb appeal.
Typical cost: $3,500 – $6,000 for walkway and steps.
Full Outdoor Living Space
For homeowners going all-in: stamped concrete patio, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and walkways all designed as one cohesive project. We're seeing more of these comprehensive projects in Cherry Hill as homeowners invest in their properties rather than moving.
Typical cost: $20,000 – $50,000+ depending on scope and features.

At-grade patios (no elevation change, not attached to the house) typically do not require a building permit
