Concrete Patios

Your backyard should be more than just grass and dirt. A well-built concrete patio gives you a place to relax, entertain guests, and enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather. Whether you want a simple entertaining space or an elaborate outdoor kitchen area, we build concrete patios in San Tan Valley that stand the test of time.

Concrete patios are one of the smartest investments you can make in your home. They're durable, low-maintenance, and way more affordable than wood decking or natural stone. Plus, with today's finishing options, your concrete patio can look just as good as those expensive materials without the high price tag or constant upkeep.

Why Concrete Patios Beat Other Options

Let's be honest. Wood decks look great for about two years. Then they start to fade, warp, and splinter. You're spending every spring staining, sealing, and replacing boards. Natural stone patios? They'll drain your bank account before you even get started.

Concrete gives you the best of both worlds. You get a surface that lasts decades with minimal maintenance, and you can customize the look to match any style. Here's what makes concrete patios such a smart choice:

• Durability: Concrete patios can last 30+ years when properly installed and maintained
• Low Maintenance: No staining, no sealing every year, no replacing damaged boards
• Cost-Effective: Lower upfront costs than pavers or stone, with fewer long-term expenses
• Design Flexibility: Stamped, stained, colored, or smooth, your patio reflects your style
• Weather Resistant: Stands up to Arizona's intense heat, monsoon rains, and everything in between

Design Options for Your Patio

Gone are the days when concrete meant boring gray slabs. Today's concrete finishing techniques let you create almost any look you can imagine. Want the look of natural stone? We can stamp it. Prefer warm earth tones? We can stain or color it. Looking for a smooth, modern finish? We do that too.

Standard Finish

A standard broom finish gives you a slip-resistant surface that's perfect for everyday use. It's simple, clean, and the most budget-friendly option. Just because it's basic doesn't mean it looks cheap. A well-done standard finish patio still adds serious value to your home.

Stamped Concrete

If you want the upscale look of stone, brick, or tile without the upscale price, stamped concrete is your answer. We press patterns into the concrete while it's still wet, creating textures that look incredibly realistic. Popular patterns include flagstone, slate, cobblestone, and wood plank designs.

Stained or Colored Concrete

Color brings your patio to life. We can add color directly to the concrete mix for consistent color throughout, or apply stains after finishing for unique, variegated effects. Earth tones work great in Arizona landscapes, but we can match any color scheme you have in mind.

Our Patio Installation Process

Building a patio that lasts requires more than just pouring concrete. Here's how we make sure your patio stays level, crack-free, and beautiful for decades.

Site Preparation

We start by excavating the area to the proper depth. This usually means removing 6-8 inches of soil to make room for the base material and concrete. We make sure the area slopes slightly away from your house so water drains properly. Standing water is the enemy of concrete, and proper grading prevents it.

Base Construction

Next comes the base layer. We lay down several inches of compacted gravel to create a stable foundation. This base does two important things: it provides solid support for the concrete, and it allows water to drain away instead of pooling under your patio. We compact this base thoroughly because settling later means cracks in your finished patio.

Pouring and Finishing

We pour the concrete to the right thickness (typically 4 inches for residential patios) and use our expertise to create a smooth, level surface. If you've chosen stamping or special finishes, this is when that happens. The timing has to be perfect. Too early and the pattern won't hold. Too late and the concrete is too hard to work. This is where experience makes all the difference.

Curing

Finally, we protect the concrete while it cures. Proper curing is critical for strength and longevity. We keep the surface moist and protected from extreme temperatures for several days. This isn't the exciting part, but it's what separates a patio that lasts from one that cracks in a few years.
