Concrete Patio
Concrete patios are the latest craze in patio installations. Because of concrete’s durable properties and heat resistance, concrete makes for a great building material to use for outdoor spaces where you’ll likely be entertaining or even cooking. On a concrete patio, you can store patio furniture, grills, décor, and they’re even safe for children and pets to play and relax on. Concrete patios can also be incorporated into the rest of your outdoor landscape, making them both decorative and aesthetically appealing. Overall, concrete is a versatile building material that serves a variety of purposes when used outdoors for patios as it’s both sleek looking and dependable as a paving solution.
 
Building
To begin building your concrete patio, we must first prepare the area. Without preparing the area beforehand, the concrete may not be laid evenly or flat and could easily crack, once cured. Unlike asphalt, concrete is not as flexible and needs to be laid onto a surface that is flattened and compounded, before it will be able to dry smooth. We also focus on the concrete mixture, as an improper concrete mixture with too much water could impact the number of cracks or streaks found in the concrete after some time.
 
Customization
To spruce up the appearance of your concrete patio, you have many options that can make it stand out even more like concrete staining and concrete stamping. Concrete staining alters the hue of the concrete from a standard grey shade to a bright or vibrant color that’s more elegant and personal. Concrete staining does not ruin the integrity of the concrete as the stain only penetrates the upper layer of the concrete and can ultimately be altered at a later time. stamped concrete, however, is the use of stamps pressed into wet concrete to form a pattern that resembles another flooring material such as brick or paver stones. If you’ve always wanted the rustic look of brick but the durability of concrete, then concrete stamping is the solution for you!
 
Repairs
Depending on how the concrete on your patio has been laid will also determine how the repairs can be completed. For concrete patios that are made from one solid piece of concrete, sealants are added to fill in any cracks or shifts in the concrete. For concrete patios that are made from concrete blocks or slabs, the repair must be done using an epoxy resin that is inserted into the crack to readjust the block or slab and form glue-like mends between the cracks.
