Concrete Patios

Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

Your backyard has the potential to become a true extension of your home. A well-designed patio provides the perfect space for entertaining friends, family dinners outdoors, or simply relaxing after a long day. Concrete patios offer durability and design flexibility that other materials cannot match.

We build custom concrete patios in Hemet that transform backyards into functional, beautiful outdoor rooms. Whether you want a simple entertaining area or an elaborate outdoor kitchen space, concrete provides the foundation you need. Our work includes attached patios off your home, detached gathering areas, and complete outdoor living designs.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio

• •Durability: Concrete withstands decades of use, weather, and foot traffic
• •Low Maintenance: No rotting boards, no loose pavers, no annual refinishing
• •Design Options: Stamped patterns, colors, and textures create custom looks
• •Cost-Effective: Less expensive than pavers or natural stone with similar beauty
• •Seamless Surface: No gaps for weeds or tripping hazards like with pavers

Wood decks require regular maintenance and eventually rot or warp. Pavers settle unevenly and require periodic releveling. Concrete provides a permanent, stable surface that stays level and looks great with minimal upkeep. The initial cost is moderate and the long-term value is exceptional.

Design Options for Every Style

Modern concrete offers far more than plain gray slabs. Decorative techniques create stunning patios that complement any home style and landscape design. You can achieve the look of expensive materials at a fraction of the cost.

Stamped Concrete Patterns

Stamped concrete uses special mats to create realistic textures and patterns in fresh concrete. Popular patterns include natural stone, slate, flagstone, brick, and tile designs. We can even replicate wood plank textures. The result looks remarkably similar to the real material but costs significantly less and requires far less maintenance.

Stamped concrete works perfectly for patios because it provides both beauty and durability. Unlike real stone pavers that can shift or settle, stamped concrete stays permanently in place. The seamless surface prevents weeds and makes cleaning easy. You get the elegant appearance without the high cost or ongoing maintenance headaches.

Color and Staining Options

Concrete does not have to be gray. We offer multiple color options through integral color mixed into the concrete or surface stains applied after finishing. Earth tones like tan, terracotta, and brown are popular for natural looks. Grays and charcoals create modern aesthetics. Multiple colors can be combined for unique custom designs.

Acid stains react with concrete to create rich, variegated colors with depth and character. Water-based stains offer more consistent colors in a wider range. Both options provide UV-stable color that will not fade like paint. The right color makes your patio feel like a natural extension of your home and landscape.

Texture and Finish Choices

Smooth troweled finishes create sleek modern looks. Broom finishes add subtle texture and slip resistance. Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stones for natural beauty. Each finish affects both appearance and function. We help you select the right combination of pattern, color, and texture to create your ideal outdoor space.

Built to Last

A beautiful patio is only valuable if it lasts. Our installation process ensures your patio will provide decades of reliable service. Proper preparation and quality materials make the difference between patios that last and patios that fail prematurely.

Foundation and Base Preparation

Everything starts with the ground beneath your patio. We excavate to stable soil and grade for proper drainage away from your home. A compacted gravel base provides uniform support and prevents settling. Proper base thickness depends on soil conditions and intended use. Cutting corners on base prep leads to cracking and settling later.

Reinforcement and Thickness

We reinforce all patios with steel rebar or wire mesh to control cracking and add strength. Standard patio thickness is 4 inches for residential use. Areas supporting heavy items like outdoor kitchens or hot tubs may require thicker concrete. Control joints are strategically placed to direct any minor cracks to planned locations where they remain hidden.

Proper Curing and Sealing

Concrete gains strength as it cures. We protect fresh concrete from rapid drying and temperature extremes during the critical first week. After curing, we apply quality sealers that protect against moisture, stains, and surface wear. Resealing every few years maintains protection and appearance. Proper installation and basic maintenance keep your patio beautiful for 25 to 30 years or more. We also install driveways and other concrete surfaces.
