Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into the perfect gathering space with a custom concrete patio built to last.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio
Your outdoor space should be more than just a yard. It should be a place where you actually want to spend time. A well-built concrete patio gives you that space without the constant upkeep that other materials demand.
Concrete patios are one of the smartest investments you can make for your El Dorado Hills home. They stand up to our hot summers and occasional winter rain without warping, cracking, or fading like wood or pavers can. You get a solid surface that stays level year after year, perfect for patio furniture, grills, and fire pits.
We have installed hundreds of concrete patios throughout El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and the surrounding foothill communities. Our team knows exactly how to prepare the base, account for proper drainage, and finish the surface so it looks great and performs even better. Every patio we build is designed to complement your home and your lifestyle.
What Makes a Great Concrete Patio
Not all concrete patios are created equal. The difference between a patio that lasts decades and one that starts showing problems in just a few years comes down to preparation and craftsmanship.
Here is what goes into every patio we build:
- Proper base preparation: We excavate to the right depth and compact the soil so your patio has a stable foundation that will not settle over time.
- Quality materials: We use the right concrete mix for our local climate, with the proper reinforcement to prevent cracking.
- Smart drainage: We grade your patio so water flows away from your house, not toward it.
- Professional finishing: Whether you want a smooth trowel finish, a broom finish for traction, or something more decorative, we have the tools and experience to make it happen.
We also take the time to talk through your options before we start. Want to add a border? Thinking about stamped patterns or color? Need to work around existing landscaping? We will walk you through everything so you know exactly what to expect.
Design Options That Fit Your Style
One of the biggest misconceptions about concrete is that it all looks the same. That could not be further from the truth. Today's concrete offers more design flexibility than most people realize.
You can keep it simple with a clean, modern look using a smooth or broom finish. Or you can dress it up with decorative options like stamped patterns that mimic stone, brick, or tile. Color can be added throughout the concrete or applied to the surface for a unique look that matches your home's style.
Borders are another popular choice. A contrasting border around the edge of your patio adds definition and visual interest. Some homeowners choose to combine concrete with pavers for an even more custom look.
During your consultation, we will show you examples of past projects and help you choose options that fit your budget and vision. Our goal is to build a patio that you will love for years to come.
How the Installation Process Works
We handle everything from start to finish. Here is how it works. First, we meet with you at your property to discuss your ideas, take measurements, and assess the site. We will talk about layout, drainage, and any special features you want to include.
Next, we prepare the site. This means removing any existing material, excavating to the proper depth, and building forms to shape your patio. We compact the base thoroughly and add gravel if needed for better drainage and stability.
When everything is ready, we pour the concrete and finish it according to your specifications. We add control joints in the right places to manage any natural expansion and contraction. Finally, we apply a curing compound and let your patio set properly before you use it.
Most patios take one to three days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. We keep the site clean, work efficiently, and make sure you understand what is happening at every stage.
Local Expertise in El Dorado Hills and Beyond
Working in the El Dorado Hills area means understanding our unique conditions. Our soil can be rocky and challenging to excavate. We get hot, dry summers that can affect concrete curing. And we need to think about drainage during our winter rainy season.
We have been working in this area long enough to know how to handle these conditions. We know which base preparations work best for different soil types. We understand how to time concrete pours for optimal results in our climate. And we are familiar with local building requirements and best practices.
Whether you are in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Cameron Park, or any of the nearby foothill communities, we bring the same attention to detail and quality workmanship to every project. We have worked on properties ranging from newer subdivisions to established neighborhoods with mature landscaping.
When you work with us, you are working with a team that knows the area, understands the challenges, and takes pride in doing the job right. Ready to get started? Contact us for a free consultation and let's talk about your patio project.
