Concrete Patios

You want to spend more time outside, but your backyard needs the right foundation. A concrete patio gives you a solid, level surface where you can set up furniture, grill with friends, or just relax with a cold drink. Unlike wood decks that rot or warp, concrete stays strong and looks good for decades.

Concrete patios work especially well in Florida because they handle our weather without problems. The hot sun will not damage them like it does wood. Heavy rain runs off instead of soaking in and causing rot. And when hurricane season arrives, you do not have to worry about loose boards or sections blowing away. Your patio stays right where it belongs.

Here are the main advantages of choosing concrete for your patio:

• Low maintenance compared to wood or composite decking
• Stays cool underfoot with the right finish
• Can be customized with colors, patterns, and textures
• Supports heavy furniture and grills without damage
• Increases your usable outdoor space immediately
• Costs less than many other patio options over time

Basic Finishes

A basic broom finish gives you a slip-resistant surface that works great for any patio. We drag a broom across the wet concrete to create texture that provides traction even when the surface is wet. This finish costs less than decorative options and still looks clean and professional. Many homeowners choose this approach because it delivers exactly what they need without unnecessary extras.

Decorative Concrete

If you want your patio to stand out, we offer several decorative options. Stamped concrete lets you get the look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. We press patterns into the wet concrete that look remarkably realistic. You can also add color to match your home or create contrast with your landscaping.

Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stone within the concrete mix, creating a textured surface that looks sophisticated and hides minor imperfections well. This finish also provides excellent traction, making it a smart choice for pool areas or spots that get wet frequently.

Size and Shape

Your patio can be any size or shape that fits your yard and budget. We help you determine the right dimensions based on how you plan to use the space. If you want room for a dining table and lounge chairs, we make sure you have enough square footage. If you are working with a small yard, we design a patio that maximizes your usable space without overwhelming the property.

We can also create curved edges, multiple levels, or custom shapes that work around trees, gardens, or other landscape features. The flexibility of concrete means we can adapt to your specific property layout instead of forcing you into a standard rectangle.

We start by marking out your patio location and removing any grass, roots, or debris. Then we excavate to the proper depth and create a slight slope away from your house. This slope is important because it keeps water from pooling on your patio or draining toward your foundation. Most people will not even notice the slope, but it makes a huge difference in how well your patio performs.

Next, we install a compacted gravel base that provides a stable foundation. This step prevents settling and cracking over time. We use professional compaction equipment to ensure the base is solid throughout. Then we set up forms to define your patio edges and install any necessary reinforcement.

When we pour the concrete, we work carefully to achieve the right thickness and eliminate air pockets. We finish the surface according to your preferences, whether that means a simple broom finish or a complex stamped pattern. Finally, we cut control joints that manage any cracking that might occur as the concrete cures. These joints are strategically placed so any cracks that do form follow the joint lines instead of appearing randomly across your patio.

After we finish the work, you will need to let the concrete cure for about seven days before placing heavy furniture on it. We provide specific care instructions so you know how to protect your investment during those first critical days. If you are adding a patio as part of a larger project, we can also handle other concrete work like walkways or steps at the same time.
