Custom Concrete Patios

A professionally designed concrete patio extends your living space outdoors and creates the perfect setting for relaxation, dining, and entertainment. We work closely with you to design a patio that fits your lifestyle, budget, and property layout while maximizing functionality and visual appeal. Our patios can be customized with various finishes, integral colors, decorative patterns, and border treatments to match your aesthetic preferences and complement your home's architecture.

During the design phase, we carefully consider critical factors including sun exposure, drainage patterns, existing grade levels, and access points to ensure optimal performance and usability. Proper site preparation with engineered base materials ensures a stable, level surface that resists settling, heaving, and cracking over time. We can incorporate custom features like built-in seating walls, fire pit areas, outdoor kitchen pads, decorative borders, or multi-level designs to create a truly unique outdoor living environment tailored to your needs.

Patio Design Options

• Standard broom-finished concrete for a classic, slip-resistant surface that's easy to maintain
• Stamped concrete patterns mimicking natural stone, slate, brick, tile, or wood plank designs (see our stamped concrete services)
• Exposed aggregate finishes featuring decorative stone for texture and visual interest
• Integral colored concrete in a wide range of earth tones, grays, and custom color blends
• Smooth trowel finishes for a modern, polished look ideal for contemporary designs
• Multi-level designs with integrated steps, transitions, and elevation changes
• Decorative saw-cut patterns and custom scoring for geometric designs
• Combination finishes mixing different textures and colors for unique aesthetics

Walkways and Garden Paths

Concrete walkways provide safe, attractive pathways through your landscape while protecting your lawn and garden beds from foot traffic damage. We design walkways that flow naturally with your property's contours and connect key areas such as driveways, patios, entryways, and outdoor living spaces. Our walkways can be straight and formal for traditional landscapes or curved and meandering for a more natural, organic feel that complements cottage gardens and informal settings.

We ensure proper width for comfortable passage—typically 3-4 feet for main walkways and 2-3 feet for secondary garden paths—and incorporate gentle slopes for effective water drainage. Decorative options like stamped patterns, colored concrete, exposed aggregate, or decorative borders add visual appeal and can be coordinated with your patio or other hardscape elements for cohesive appearance. For intimate garden paths, we can create narrower, more casual walkways with stepping stone effects or naturalistic curves that invite exploration of your outdoor spaces.

Walkway Features and Benefits

• Custom width and layout designed for your property's specific needs and traffic patterns
• Proper drainage slope to prevent water pooling and ice formation
• Slip-resistant surface textures for safety in wet or icy conditions
• Coordinated design with existing hardscape elements for cohesive appearance
• Durable construction that withstands heavy foot traffic and weather exposure
• Low maintenance requirements compared to gravel, mulch, or paver alternatives

Durable Sidewalks

Sidewalks serve an essential function in providing safe, accessible pedestrian access around your property. Whether you need a front walkway from the street to your entrance, side paths connecting different areas, or commercial sidewalks for customer access, we build sidewalks that meet ADA accessibility standards when required and comply with local building codes and regulations.

Our sidewalks feature proper cross-slope for drainage (typically 2%), smooth transitions at grade changes and driveway crossings, and durable surfaces engineered to withstand heavy foot traffic, weather exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles. We pay special attention to expansion joints and control joints placed at appropriate intervals to minimize random cracking and ensure long-term performance. For commercial properties, we ensure full compliance with local building codes, ADA requirements, and safety regulations. If you have existing sidewalks that need attention, learn more about our concrete repair and resurfacing services for sidewalk maintenance and restoration.

• Improved accessibility for all users including wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers
• Enhanced property value, curb appeal, and overall landscape appearance
• Cost-effective compared to pavers, natural stone, or brick alternatives
• Resistant to weed growth, erosion, and displacement unlike gravel or mulch paths
• Smooth, even surface that's easy to shovel, sweep, and maintain year-round

Professional Installation Process

Our comprehensive installation process ensures your patio, walkway, or sidewalk performs beautifully for decades to come. We start with careful site layout and marking using string lines and stakes to confirm dimensions, placement, and alignment. Excavation removes existing materials and creates proper depth for base materials and concrete thickness—typically 4 inches for residential patios and walkways, 5-6 inches for driveways and heavy-use areas.

We install a compacted gravel base (typically 4-6 inches) for stability, load distribution, and drainage. Forms are carefully set to define edges, control thickness, and establish proper slopes. Reinforcement materials including wire mesh or rebar add tensile strength and crack resistance. We pour high-quality concrete mixed to specifications appropriate for your climate and intended use, with proper air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance.

Our skilled finishers create the desired surface texture and appearance using professional techniques and tools. Control joints are cut or tooled at appropriate intervals to control cracking. Proper curing techniques including moisture retention ensure maximum strength development and durability. We complete every project with thorough cleanup, sealing recommendations, and a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Maintenance and Longevity

Properly installed concrete patios, walkways, and sidewalks require minimal maintenance but benefit from basic care to maximize their lifespan and appearance. We recommend periodic cleaning with a pressure washer or garden hose to remove dirt, debris, and organic stains. Sealing your concrete every 2-3 years protects against moisture penetration, staining, and surface deterioration while enhancing color and appearance.

Avoid using deicing salts in winter as they can damage concrete surfaces—sand or calcium magnesium acetate are safer alternatives. Address any cracks or damage promptly to prevent water infiltration and further deterioration. With proper installation and basic maintenance, your concrete features should provide 30+ years of reliable service. If issues do develop, our repair and resurfacing services can restore your concrete to like-new condition.
