Concrete Patios

Transform Your Backyard with a Concrete Patio

Your backyard should be a place where you want to spend time. A concrete patio gives you a clean, level surface for outdoor dining, entertaining, or just relaxing with your family. We build patios that turn unused yard space into your favorite spot in the house.

Concrete patios are perfect for Southern California living. They stay cool in the shade, they are easy to clean, and they can handle everything from summer barbecues to kids playing. Unlike wood decks, concrete will not rot, warp, or need regular staining. It is a low-maintenance option that looks good year after year.

We work with homeowners throughout Culver City to design and install patios that fit their lifestyle and budget. Whether you want a simple slab or an elaborate outdoor living area with multiple levels, we can make it happen.

Design Options for Your Patio

One of the best things about concrete patios is how many design options you have. You are not limited to plain gray concrete anymore. We offer finishes and colors that match your home and personal style.

Popular patio finishes and styles

• •Broom finish provides texture and slip resistance for safety around pools
• •Smooth trowel finish creates a sleek modern look perfect for contemporary homes
• •Stamped concrete mimics stone, brick, or wood at a fraction of the cost
• •Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stones for a natural textured appearance
• •Colored concrete uses integral color or stains to match your home exterior

If you want something more decorative, we offer stamped concrete patios that look like natural stone or tile. We can also add color to the concrete, create borders, or combine different finishes in one patio.

The size and shape of your patio depend on how you plan to use it. We help you figure out the right dimensions based on your furniture, your yard layout, and your budget. We can work around trees, slopes, and other features in your yard to create a patio that looks like it belongs there.

How We Build Patios That Last

Building a patio is not just about pouring concrete. The prep work is what separates a patio that lasts from one that cracks and settles. We take the time to do it right.

Our proven installation method

First, we mark out the area and remove any grass or soil. We excavate down to solid ground and create a stable base using compacted gravel. This base prevents the patio from settling unevenly, which is what causes cracks.

Next, we set up forms to define the edges of your patio. We make sure everything is level and sloped properly for drainage. Water should flow away from your house, not toward it. We also install reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh to strengthen the concrete.

When we pour the concrete, we use a mix that is designed for outdoor use in our climate. We work quickly to spread and level the concrete before it starts to set. Once it is level, we apply your chosen finish. This is where the patio gets its final look and texture.

After the pour, we apply a curing compound and let the concrete harden properly. You can usually walk on your new patio after a few days, but we recommend waiting at least a week before putting furniture on it. If you are thinking about adding other features like walkways or steps, we can coordinate all the work at once.
