Concrete Patios
Design and installation of beautiful outdoor living spaces and patios.

A patio is where you set up furniture, host dinners, and spend time outside without standing in the grass. The size and shape matter because you need enough space for a table and chairs, a grill area, or lounge seating without everything feeling cramped. Most patios start at 12x12 feet for a small bistro set, but if you're putting out a dining table that seats six, you're looking at 16x20 or larger. We help you figure out the right dimensions based on how you'll actually use the space.
The patio also has to connect logically to your house and yard. If it's directly off a back door, the elevation needs to be close to your interior floor height. If it's farther out in the yard, we design a path or step-down that transitions naturally. We also consider sun exposure, views, and how the patio fits with existing landscaping like trees or garden beds. The goal is a slab that feels like an intentional part of your outdoor space, not just a concrete rectangle dropped in the middle of the lawn.

Sizing for Furniture and Movement
The most common mistake in patio design is making it too small. A 10x10 patio might seem adequate on paper, but once you add a table, four chairs, and a grill, there's no room to pull chairs out or walk around. We plan for the actual furniture footprint plus circulation space—typically 3 feet around each side of a dining table so people can move comfortably.
If you're planning for lounge seating or an outdoor sectional, we measure the furniture dimensions before we pour. Better to have extra space than realize the layout doesn't work after the concrete is set.
Transition from House to Yard
Patios need to connect to your house at a logical height. If your back door is 8 inches above grade and the patio is poured at ground level, you're stuck with an awkward step every time you go outside. We pour the patio close to your door threshold—usually 1 to 2 inches below interior floor height—so the transition is a single step or a small ramp.
For patios farther out in the yard, we create a path with stepping stones or a secondary walkway that ties the space together visually and functionally.
Furniture Load and Slab Thickness
Outdoor furniture is heavier than most people think, especially once you factor in wet cushions and people sitting on it. A concrete patio slab needs to support this distributed load without cracking. We pour residential patios at 4 inches thick as a baseline, but if you're planning for a heavy stone fire pit, masonry kitchen, or large planter boxes, we'll thicken those zones or add extra reinforcement.
The base prep is equally important—soft spots under the slab will cause settling even if the concrete itself is strong.
Sun, Shade, and Orientation
Where you place the patio affects how much you'll actually use it. A south-facing patio gets full sun all day, which is great in cooler climates but can be unbearable in summer heat without shade structures. We consider the sun path and recommend patio placement based on how and when you plan to use the space.
If your yard has mature trees, we can position the patio to take advantage of natural shade without pouring too close to the root zone, which could cause future heaving.
Slope Away for Drainage
A patio that drains toward the house is a disaster waiting to happen. We set the grade at 1/4 inch per foot sloping away from your foundation so rainwater runs off into the yard or a drainage system. This slope is gentle enough that furniture sits level but steep enough to prevent puddling.
We also avoid creating low spots in the middle of the patio where water can collect. The entire surface should drain in one direction.
Blending with Existing Landscaping
A patio shouldn't look like it was dropped randomly into the yard. We design the shape and edges to work with existing garden beds, pathways, or retaining walls. If you have a curved landscape border, we can match that curve in the patio edge instead of forcing a harsh rectangular shape that clashes.
We also consider how the patio will affect drainage patterns in the yard—you don't want runoff from the concrete to flood your garden beds.
