Concrete Patios

Transform Your Backyard with a Custom Concrete Patio

Your backyard should be more than just empty space. A well-designed patio extends your living area outdoors, creating a place for family meals, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing after a long day. Concrete patios give you a durable, versatile surface that handles Arizona's climate while matching your home's style and your budget.

Unlike wood decks that warp, rot, or attract termites, concrete patios stand up to sun, heat, and occasional rain without constant maintenance. You will not need to stain, seal, or replace boards every few years. Concrete provides a stable, level surface that does not shift or become uneven over time. This makes it ideal for outdoor furniture, grills, and entertaining spaces where you need reliable footing.

Modern concrete patios offer incredible design flexibility. You can choose from various colors, textures, and patterns to create a unique look. From simple brushed finishes to elaborate stamped designs that mimic natural stone or tile, we help you achieve the aesthetic you want. Concrete also works well with other materials like pavers or landscaping features, letting you create a cohesive outdoor design.

We work with homeowners throughout Sahuarita to design and install patios that fit their lifestyle and property. Whether you want a small intimate space or a large entertainment area, we handle projects of all sizes. Our team considers factors like sun exposure, existing structures, drainage, and your intended use to create a patio that works perfectly for your needs. When you invest in professional installation, you get a patio that adds value to your home and enhances your daily life for decades.

What to Expect During Your Patio Installation

Installing a concrete patio involves several critical steps that determine the final result. We start with site evaluation and planning. Our team visits your property to assess the location, measure the area, and identify any challenges like slopes, drainage issues, or underground utilities. This information guides our design recommendations and helps us provide an accurate quote.

Once you approve the design and schedule, we begin site preparation. This includes clearing vegetation, removing existing surfaces if necessary, and excavating to the proper depth. Proper excavation is essential for a stable patio that will not crack or settle. We grade the area to direct water away from your home and other structures. Then we compact the soil and add a gravel base layer that provides drainage and support.

Next, we build forms to contain the concrete and define the patio's shape and edges. For larger patios or those subject to heavy use, we install reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh. This reinforcement prevents cracking and adds structural strength. We also plan for control joints that manage minor cracking if it occurs, directing it to less visible locations.

On pour day, we place the concrete, spread it evenly, and level it to the correct thickness. Working quickly is important because concrete begins setting within hours. We apply your chosen finish while the concrete is still workable. After finishing, we protect the surface and monitor curing for several days. Proper curing is crucial for achieving maximum strength and preventing premature cracking.

Most patio installations take 3 to 5 days from start to finish, though complex designs or larger areas may take longer. You can typically walk on the patio after 24 to 48 hours, but we recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture or using it fully. We clean up the site, remove forms, and inspect everything to ensure it meets our quality standards. Return to our homepage to see all the concrete services we provide for Sahuarita homeowners.
