Concrete Patios

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio

Your patio is more than just a slab of concrete. It's where you'll host summer barbecues, watch your kids play, and enjoy quiet mornings with your coffee. That's why choosing the right material matters so much.

Concrete patios offer unmatched durability and versatility. Unlike wood that rots or pavers that shift over time, a properly installed concrete patio can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. Here in Alhambra, where the sun shines bright and temperatures can soar, concrete handles the heat without warping or fading.

We've installed hundreds of concrete patios throughout the area, and homeowners love how they hold up to everything from daily family activities to California weather. Plus, you can customize the look with stamps, stains, and textures to match your home's style perfectly.

What Makes a Great Patio Installation

Not all concrete work is created equal. Here's what separates a patio that lasts from one that cracks after a few years.

The secret starts below the surface. We properly excavate and grade your site, ensuring water drains away from your home. Then we install a compacted gravel base that won't settle or shift. This foundation work prevents the cracks and uneven surfaces that plague poorly installed patios.

Our Patio Installation Includes:

• •Professional site evaluation and layout planning
• •Proper excavation with precision grading for drainage
• •Compacted aggregate base for long-term stability
• •Steel reinforcement or fiber mesh to prevent cracking
• •4-inch minimum thickness for residential patios
• •Control joints strategically placed to manage natural expansion
• •Professional finishing with your choice of texture
• •Proper curing process to maximize strength and durability

Every step matters. We don't cut corners because we know you're investing in your home's value and your family's enjoyment. When you choose decorative concrete options, we take extra care to ensure the patterns and colors look stunning for decades.

Design Options for Your Outdoor Space

Your patio should reflect your style and how you live. We work with homeowners throughout Alhambra to create custom outdoor spaces that feel like natural extensions of their homes.

Maybe you want a simple broom finish that's easy to maintain and budget-friendly. Or perhaps you're dreaming of a stamped concrete design that mimics natural stone or brick. We can add color with integral stains or apply acid stains after installation for unique, natural-looking variations.

The shape and size are completely up to you. We've built intimate 10x10 patios perfect for small yards and expansive 30x40 entertainment areas with built-in fire pit surrounds. Whatever you envision, we'll help you design a patio that fits your space, budget, and lifestyle. And if you need additional walkways to connect your patio, we handle that too.
