Concrete Patios

Create Your Perfect Outdoor Space

Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. It should be a place where you can relax, entertain friends, or enjoy a quiet evening outdoors. A well-designed concrete patio gives you the perfect foundation for outdoor living.

At KwikCrew Vallejo Concrete, we build custom concrete patios that match your lifestyle and budget. Whether you want a simple space for a few chairs or an elaborate outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, we handle everything from design to installation.

Concrete patios are one of the most practical and affordable ways to add usable space to your home. They require minimal maintenance, last for decades, and can be customized with different colors, patterns, and finishes to match your style.

Why Choose a Concrete Patio

Concrete patios offer several advantages over other patio materials like pavers, wood decking, or natural stone:

• Long-lasting durability: A properly installed concrete patio can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
• Low maintenance: Unlike wood decks that need regular staining or pavers that shift and grow weeds, concrete patios stay solid and require only occasional cleaning.
• Design flexibility: We can create virtually any shape, size, or design you want. Add curves, multiple levels, or integrate planters and seating walls.
• Cost effective: Concrete offers excellent value compared to natural stone or custom pavers, especially when you factor in long-term maintenance costs.
• Weather resistant: Concrete handles the Bay Area climate well, from hot summers to wet winters.
• Increases home value: A professionally installed patio adds to your property value and makes your home more attractive to buyers.

Patio Design Options

Your patio should reflect your personal style. We offer several finish options to create the look you want:

Stamped Concrete: Get the look of natural stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. We press patterns into wet concrete and add integral color or stains for a custom appearance. Popular patterns include flagstone, slate, and cobblestone. Learn more about our stamped concrete options.

Broom Finish: A classic textured surface that provides good traction and is slip-resistant when wet. This practical option works well if you plan to add outdoor rugs or furniture that covers most of the surface.

Exposed Aggregate: Reveals the natural beauty of stones in the concrete mix. This textured finish is both decorative and practical, hiding dirt and providing excellent traction.

Smooth Trowel Finish: Creates a sleek, modern look. We can add saw-cut patterns or borders to break up large areas and add visual interest.

During your consultation, we will show you samples and photos of previous projects to help you choose the right finish for your patio.

How We Build Your Patio

Building a concrete patio requires careful planning and proper technique. Here is how we ensure your patio will last:

Site Assessment and Design: We visit your property to evaluate the site, discuss your needs, and recommend the best location and design for your patio. We consider factors like drainage, sun exposure, and how you plan to use the space.

Excavation and Base Preparation: We excavate to the proper depth, remove unsuitable soil, and create a stable base using compacted gravel. Proper drainage is critical to prevent water from pooling on your patio or flowing toward your home's foundation.

Forms and Reinforcement: We build forms to the exact dimensions and shape you want. We add steel reinforcement to prevent cracking and ensure your patio stays level.

Concrete Pour and Finishing: We pour high-quality concrete mix and apply your chosen finish. Whether you want a simple broom finish or an elaborate stamped pattern, we have the experience to do it right.

Curing and Sealing: After finishing, we protect the concrete while it cures. We recommend sealing your patio to protect the surface and enhance the color, especially for stamped or colored concrete.

Most patio projects are completed in 2 to 3 days, depending on size and complexity. You can typically walk on your new patio within 24 to 48 hours, though we recommend waiting at least 7 days before placing heavy furniture or applying additional loads.
