A patio in the Northwest is mostly about water: where it goes when it rains, whether part of the patio should be covered, and what surface holds up to moss and shade. Say what you want and post a photo of the space. License-verified contractors send bids on your plan, not theirs.

Patio & hardscape questions, answered
Pavers or poured concrete?
Both work here. Pavers cost more up front but handle roots and settling gracefully and can be lifted for repairs. Poured concrete is economical and clean-lined but cracks are forever. Describe your site and what you like, and the bids will show the difference.
Does drainage really matter that much?
In this climate it matters more than anything else in the bid. Good bids will address slope, base prep, and where runoff goes. If your yard puddles in January, say so in the post; it changes the right answer.
How many bids do I get?
Up to five, and you can raise that on your project page. Every bidder is license-verified against the Oregon CCB or Washington L&I registry before they can bid at all.
When should I post a patio project?
Earlier than you would think. Concrete and hardscape calendars fill up as soon as the rain breaks, and shoulder-season work often books at better rates. Winter posting for spring work is a legitimate move.
