Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space where you can relax, entertain, and make memories.
Why Concrete Patios Are a Smart Choice
When you want to expand your living space outdoors, a concrete patio gives you the best combination of durability, value, and design flexibility. Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and need constant staining, concrete patios handle Florida weather without breaking down. You will not spend your weekends replacing boards or fighting termites. Instead, you get a solid surface that stays level and functional year after year.
Concrete also costs less to install and maintain than most alternatives. A wooden deck might seem cheaper at first, but when you add up the ongoing maintenance costs over ten or twenty years, concrete comes out ahead. Plus, concrete can be finished to look like almost anything. Want the appearance of stone pavers without the shifting and settling? We can do that. Prefer a smooth modern look or a textured finish? Those work too.
Advantages of Concrete Patios

- Easy to clean with just a hose or pressure washer
- Can be customized with colors, patterns, and textures
- Adds significant value to your home and increases usable space
- Works well in Florida heat and stays cooler than dark asphalt
Design Your Perfect Outdoor Space
Your patio should fit your lifestyle and match your home. We work with you to design a space that meets your needs, whether that is a simple rectangular pad for a table and chairs or an elaborate outdoor kitchen and entertainment area. The shape, size, and layout all depend on how you plan to use the space.
Standard and Custom Finishes
A basic broom finish gives you good traction and a clean look at the lowest cost. If you want something more distinctive, we offer stamped and decorative finishes that mimic natural stone, brick, or tile. You can also add color to the concrete, either mixed throughout or applied to the surface. These options let you create a patio that complements your home and landscaping.
Size and Layout Considerations
Think about how you will use your patio. If you mainly want a spot for a small table and a couple of chairs, a 10 by 12 foot patio works fine. Planning to host gatherings or set up a full outdoor dining area? You will want something bigger, probably 16 by 20 feet or more. We can also create multiple levels, built-in seating areas, or connections to other features like walkways and pool decks.
Adding Special Features
Your patio can include features that make it more functional and enjoyable. We can integrate fire pit areas, install concrete counters for outdoor kitchens, or create planters right into the design. If you want shade, we can plan the patio layout to work with a future pergola or covered area. The key is to think ahead about what you might want so we can build the foundation to support those additions.
A well-designed patio extends your home and gives you a comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors. We help you plan a space that fits your needs and your budget.
How We Build Your Patio
Building a patio right means starting with a solid foundation. We clear and level the area, making sure water will drain away from your house. Then we excavate to the proper depth and create a compacted base that will not settle or shift over time. This base work is what keeps your patio level and prevents cracking.
After the base is ready, we set up forms to define the shape and edges of your patio. We install reinforcement to give the concrete strength and help it handle any ground movement without cracking. The concrete mix we use is formulated for Florida conditions, with the right strength and curing properties for our climate.
When we pour the concrete, we work efficiently to get it placed, leveled, and finished before it starts to set. The finishing process creates the surface texture and appearance you chose. If you selected a stamped or colored finish, this is when we apply those details. Then the concrete needs time to cure and gain its full strength. We protect it during this period and let you know when it is ready to use.
Most patio projects take three to five days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. We clean up thoroughly when we are done so your yard is ready to enjoy. You can usually put furniture on the patio after about a week, though we recommend waiting longer before putting extremely heavy items in place.
