Concrete Patios

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio

Your backyard should be more than just a space. It should be where you relax after work, host weekend barbecues, and make memories with family and friends. A concrete patio gives you all that and more. It's durable, affordable, and incredibly versatile.

Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift and settle, concrete stays solid year after year. In San Clemente, where the weather is beautiful most of the year, a well-built patio means you can enjoy your outdoor space without constant maintenance. We pour patios that handle the California sun, occasional rain, and everything in between.

Whether you want a simple slab for your grill and patio furniture or something more elaborate with stamped patterns and colors, we can make it happen. Your outdoor living space should match your lifestyle, and concrete gives you the flexibility to create exactly what you want. Learn more about our concrete services in San Clemente.

What Makes a Great Patio

A concrete patio is only as good as what goes underneath it. That's why we start every project with proper site preparation. We excavate to the right depth, compact the soil, and install a solid base layer. This prevents settling and cracking down the road.

Here's what sets our patio installations apart:

• Proper drainage planning so water flows away from your house
• Control joints placed strategically to manage natural concrete movement
• Quality concrete mix designed for outdoor use and California weather
• Professional finishing that creates the right texture for safety and appearance
• Adequate curing time to let the concrete reach full strength

We don't rush the process. Every step matters when you're building something that needs to last for decades. Our team takes the time to do it right the first time.

Design Options for Your Space

You're not limited to plain gray concrete. Modern concrete patios come in dozens of styles, colors, and textures. Stamped concrete can mimic the look of flagstone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. Colored concrete lets you match your home's exterior or create visual interest with borders and patterns.

The finish you choose affects both looks and function. A broom finish provides good traction when the surface is wet. A smooth trowel finish works great under covered areas. We'll walk you through your options and help you pick what works best for how you plan to use your patio.

Size matters too. We typically recommend at least 12x12 feet for a small seating area, but most families find that 16x20 feet or larger gives them the room they need for furniture, a grill, and space to move around comfortably.
