  • Paver borders: Pavers can create an aesthetically pleasing border for your patio.

Concrete Patio Finishes and Style Options

There are numerous finishes and style options available for concrete patios. We’ll examine a few of them here.

  • Plain: A plain concrete finish is simple and smooth.  It is also known as a trowel or smooth finish.
  • Stamped: A stamped finish is achieved by pouring concrete and then imprinting it with a design.
  • Broom: A broom finish is created by dragging a broom over freshly poured concrete, resulting in a textured finish. Broom finishes can be simple or feature more complex designs. These are a popular option and help improve traction.
  • Exposed aggregate: An exposed aggregate finish is created by removing the top layer of cement paste to reveal aggregate stones. The textured surface here helps to improve traction.
  • Polished: A polished concrete surface is created by honing and grinding the cement’s surface to achieve a glossy and smooth finish.
  • Staining: Concrete can be stained to achieve a variety of colors.
  • Engraved: Patio concrete can be engraved with special tools to etch designs and patterns.
  • Stenciled: Stencils can be used to create designs in concrete patios.

What to Expect During Patio Installation

During a patio installation, our team follows a variety of steps to achieve high-quality results. The following is a brief overview of our process. Please note this is not intended to be a guide for concrete installation, but a quick overview of what to expect.

  • Site preparation: For site preparation, the area is cleared of rocks, grass, and debris, as well as leveled. This contributes to a stable foundation. 
  • Base layer: A base layer often includes crushed stone or compact gravel to help facilitate drainage and reduce the likelihood of shifting.
  • Bedding layer: The bedding layer consists of bedding sand material over which the concrete is poured. Adding bedding sand material helps create a stable base.
  • Pouring the Concrete: We ensure the concrete is mixed correctly to achieve the correct consistency. It is then carefully poured into the forms and carefully spread by workers.
  • Finishing: How we finish the concrete can vary based on your desired design. Regardless of the style of concrete, we’ll follow these steps:
  1. The concrete is spread
  2. The concrete is screeded to remove excess concrete. 
  3. The surface is sloat to ensure ridges are level, fill any voids, and embed the aggregate slightly.
  4. Concrete joints are added.
