Frequently Asked Questions
What patio finishes are available?
We offer broom finish, stamped patterns (stone, brick, slate), exposed aggregate, colored concrete, and polished options. Each provides a different look and price point.
What size patio do I need?
Most patios range from 200-500 square feet. For basic seating, we recommend at least 200 sq ft. For dining and entertaining, 350-500 sq ft works well.
Can you add drainage to the patio?
Absolutely. We engineer every patio with proper slope (typically 1/8" per foot) to direct water away from your home. We can also install French drains if needed.
How long does patio installation take?
Most patio installations take 2-4 days from excavation to finish. Stamped or decorative patios may take an extra day. We recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture.
Can a concrete patio be built over an existing patio?
Sometimes, but not recommended. Overlay systems exist but tend to crack and peel. Complete removal and fresh pour provides the best long-term results and warranty coverage.
