Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor oasis with a custom concrete patio built to last.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio?
Your outdoor space should be a place where you relax, entertain, and enjoy time with family. A concrete patio gives you a durable, low-maintenance surface that handles everything from weekend barbecues to daily foot traffic. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift over time, a properly installed concrete patio stays level and solid for decades.
We serve homeowners throughout Tustin and know how Southern California weather affects outdoor surfaces. Our concrete patios are designed to resist cracking from temperature changes, handle the intense summer sun, and provide a stable foundation for your outdoor furniture and activities.
What Makes a Great Concrete Patio
Not all concrete patios are created equal. The difference between a patio that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 50 years comes down to proper preparation and installation techniques. Here is what we focus on:
- Proper grading and drainage: We slope your patio away from your house to prevent water pooling and foundation issues
- Compacted base material: A solid 4-6 inch gravel base prevents settling and cracking over time
- Correct concrete thickness: We pour 4 inches minimum for residential patios, ensuring strength and durability
- Control joints: Strategic cuts in the concrete direct where cracks form, keeping them hidden and controlled
- Quality finishing: Whether you want smooth, broom-finished, or stamped concrete, we deliver a consistent, professional look
We also discuss stamped and decorative concrete options with every client. You can get the look of natural stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost.
The Installation Process
When you hire us for your patio project, you get a team that handles everything from start to finish. We start with a site evaluation to check soil conditions, drainage, and access. Then we prep the area by excavating to the proper depth, installing the base material, and setting up forms that define your patio shape and size.
On pour day, we bring in fresh concrete mixed to the right specifications for our climate. Our crew places, levels, and finishes the concrete while it is still workable. We add control joints, apply your chosen finish, and start the curing process. After curing, we seal the surface to protect against stains, moisture, and UV damage.
Most residential patios take 2-3 days from start to finish. You can walk on the surface after 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before placing heavy furniture or hosting gatherings. This gives the concrete time to reach full strength.
Custom Design Options
Your patio should match your home and lifestyle. We offer a range of design options including stamped patterns, colored concrete, exposed aggregate, and decorative borders. You can also add features like built-in fire pits, seating walls, or integrated planters.
Whether you want a simple rectangular patio or a multi-level entertainment space with curves and custom edges, we have the skills and equipment to make it happen. We also coordinate with other outdoor projects like concrete driveways or walkways so everything flows together.
