Concrete patios excel where other materials fall short. The solid surface supports heavy patio furniture, hot tubs weighing thousands of pounds, and fire pit installations without shifting or settling. Tables and chairs sit level no wobbling on uneven pavers. Snow removal is simple: just shovel and go, with no raised edges to catch your blade or loose stones to scatter.

Stamped concrete can replicate expensive flagstone, slate, or brick patterns at a fraction of the cost. Integral coloring ensures the color penetrates the entire slab, not just the surface, for lasting beauty.
Proper patio installation requires careful attention to drainage. Water must flow away from your home's foundation we ensure a minimum slope of 1/8 inch per foot.
