Top Reasons to Go with a Concrete Patio
In terms of South Florida’s climate, there are some major advantages that concrete patios have over all other types of patios:
Durability: The heat of Florida will never cause your concrete patio to rot, warp, or deteriorate as wood does.
Low Maintenance: You do not need to seal it every year or replace individual pavers; simply clean it from time to time and enjoy it for years to come.
Flexibility in Design: Your concrete patio can be finished in a simple broom finish or an elaborately stamped design.
Cost-Effective: Long-term value is delivered by concrete patios due to lower installation and maintenance costs than most other patio options.
One Solid Surface: There are no seams or gaps that weeds can grow in and no joints that can shift on a one solid surface, such as your concrete patio.
Cool Options: There are many ways to cool your concrete patio. For example, using light colored concrete and adding texture to your concrete patio will help keep it cooler and comfortable to walk on when you’re barefoot near your pool.
Concrete Patio Designs: Built for Your Vision
We create concrete patio designs that are in line with both your home’s design and your plans for using your outdoor space:
Rectangular Design: A clean, simple, and efficient way to define your outdoor room, perfect for creating a furniture arrangement or a clear outdoor space.
Curves & Irregularly Shaped Concrete Patio Designs: Create flowing curves and shapes that complement your existing landscape.
Built-In Elements For The Concrete Patio Design: We can build-in seating walls, built-in planters, and create defined areas for grilling, dining, and relaxing in your concrete patio design.
Stamped Concrete Patterns: Stamped concrete designs include scored patterns, stamp patterns, or smooth finishes; all of which will provide an aesthetically pleasing look for your new concrete patio.
We’ll review several different concrete patio ideas that may be suitable for your yard, your budget, and how you plan to use the area. We do not offer cookie-cutter solutions. Each of our patios is designed specifically for the homeowner’s needs.
Our Concrete Patio Installation Process
We will follow these steps to complete your patio installation:
- Evaluate Site: We determine drainage patterns, sunlight levels, access paths, and any other items of significance regarding your current landscaping.
- Discuss Design & Features: We determine the dimensions, configuration, design elements, finishes, etc. that fit your dreams and budget.
- Excavate Area: Remove the topsoil to a proper depth and grade for drainage away from your house.
- Prepare Base Material: Install and compact crushed stone to provide a solid base for your new patio.
- Set Forms: Set up forms to contain the concrete and allow us to achieve straight edges.
- Add Reinforcement: Add wire mesh or rebar to help prevent cracking and add additional strength to your patio.
- Pour Concrete: Pour high-quality concrete into your patio area. Work the concrete to ensure there are no air pockets left in the concrete.
- Apply Finish: Apply your desired finish to the concrete (smooth, broom, stamped, exposed aggregate).
- Create Control Joints: Create control joints to help direct any cracking to designated areas.
- Cure Concrete: Protect the concrete as it cures and develops strength in Florida’s climate.
- Seal Surface: Seal the surface to protect against stains and weathering.
Concrete Patio Finishes: Form Meets Function
While appearance is an important consideration of a patio finish, so is its functionality. There are several different types of concrete patio finishes we offer:
A Broom Finish (Texture): This creates a textured surface of the concrete by using a broom to drag it while still wet. The texture provides traction when wet – an advantage in Florida due to the amount of rain we receive. It’s cost-effective and time-tested.
A Smooth Trowel Finish (Polish): A smooth finish can create a polished, modern look by using a steel trowel to polish the concrete. While this will create a sleek surface and can add curb appeal, it can also be slippery when wet. This type of finish would work best in covered patios.
An Exposed Aggregate Finish: This finish shows the decorative stones used in the concrete mix. An exposed aggregate finish can provide a textured surface and visual interest, as well as slip resistance. This finish works well for pool areas and other high-traffic areas.
A Stamped Concrete Finish: This finish mimics the look of stone, brick, tile, etc., and offers a high-end look at a fraction of the price of using actual stone or brick. As stamped concrete is made from durable concrete, it will last longer than any other material used to mimic natural stone or brick. This finish requires a higher investment upfront; however, the visual impact will be worth it.
A Stained or Colored Finish: This finish adds color to the concrete either by using integral pigments or surface stains. The stained or colored finish allows homeowners to choose a customized look that complements their home’s exterior design.
Each finish has a balance of aesthetics, slip resistance, cost, and maintenance considerations that should be considered when choosing a finish for your new patio. We will take into account how and where you intend to use your patio to make recommendations about which finishes may work best for you.
