Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into the perfect outdoor living space with a custom concrete patio built to last.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio
Your backyard deserves more than just a patch of grass or bare dirt. A well-designed concrete patio creates an outdoor room where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy Arizona's beautiful weather year-round. Unlike wood decks that splinter and rot, or pavers that shift and settle, concrete provides a stable, long-lasting surface that handles everything from daily use to large gatherings.
Concrete patios offer incredible versatility in design. You can choose from smooth troweled finishes, textured broom finishes, exposed aggregate that reveals beautiful stones, or stamped patterns that mimic expensive materials like slate or flagstone. Color options range from natural gray to earth tones that complement your home. The result is a custom outdoor space that reflects your style and enhances your property value.
Maintenance requirements stay minimal with concrete. You sweep away debris, rinse with a hose when needed, and occasionally reseal the surface to maintain protection and appearance. There's no annual staining like wood decks, no weeding between pavers, and no worrying about termites or rot. Your patio stays looking great with just basic care.
Our Patio Installation Process
We start every patio project with careful planning. During your consultation, we discuss your vision, measure the space, evaluate site conditions, and help you choose the right design and finish options. We explain what's possible within your budget and provide a detailed quote that covers all aspects of the work.
Site preparation makes the difference between a patio that lasts and one that fails. We excavate to the proper depth, remove unsuitable soil, and grade for drainage away from your home. A compacted base layer provides stable support. We install forms that define the patio shape and ensure proper thickness. For larger patios, we add reinforcement like wire mesh or rebar to prevent cracking.
Key Installation Steps
- Professional site evaluation and accurate measurements
- Proper excavation and base preparation
- Quality forming and reinforcement placement
- Careful concrete mixing and pouring
- Expert finishing for your chosen texture
- Control joints to manage natural cracking
- Proper curing for maximum strength
The concrete pour and finishing require skill and timing. We work efficiently to place and level the concrete before it begins setting. Your chosen finish gets applied at exactly the right moment. Control joints cut into the surface direct any cracking to planned locations where it stays hidden. The result is a beautiful, functional patio that enhances your outdoor living space.
Design Options for Your Patio
Standard concrete patios with a broom or smooth finish provide clean, functional outdoor space at an affordable price. This option works great if you plan to add outdoor rugs, furniture, or other decorative elements that will cover much of the surface. The neutral gray color complements any home style and provides a blank canvas for your patio furnishings.
Stamped and decorative concrete transforms your patio into a design statement. Stamps create realistic patterns that look like stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. Integral color throughout the concrete or color hardeners on the surface add earth tones that enhance the stamped pattern. Borders in contrasting colors or patterns define the space and add visual interest.
Exposed aggregate reveals the natural beauty of stones in the concrete mix. After the concrete sets partially, we wash away the surface paste to expose colorful aggregates underneath. This finish provides excellent traction for wet conditions, hides dirt and stains well, and creates a textured surface that feels more natural than plain concrete. It's a popular choice for pool decks and outdoor entertaining areas.
