Concrete Patios

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio?

Your backyard deserves more than just grass. A concrete patio gives you a solid, low-maintenance outdoor space where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy West Lafayette's beautiful seasons. Whether you're hosting summer barbecues or just want a clean place to set up your patio furniture, concrete delivers the durability and flexibility you need.

We've been installing concrete patios throughout West Lafayette and the surrounding areas since 2024, and we know what works in Indiana's climate. From freeze-thaw cycles in winter to heavy rain in spring, your patio needs to handle it all. That's why we focus on proper site prep, quality materials, and techniques that prevent cracking and settling.

What Makes a Great Concrete Patio?

Not all concrete patios are created equal. Here's what we focus on to make sure yours lasts for decades:

• •Proper grading and drainage: Water needs somewhere to go. We slope your patio away from your house to prevent pooling and foundation damage.
• •Compacted gravel base: A solid foundation is everything. We use multiple layers of compacted gravel to prevent settling and cracking.
• •Reinforcement: Depending on your patio size and use, we add wire mesh or rebar to keep everything stable.
• •Control joints: Strategic cuts in the concrete control where cracks form, keeping them hidden and manageable.
• •Proper curing: We don't rush the process. Concrete needs time to cure properly for maximum strength.

Design Options That Fit Your Style

Concrete doesn't have to be boring. We offer several finishes and styles to match your home's look:

Broom finish is the classic choice with subtle texture for slip resistance. It's affordable, practical, and clean-looking. Stamped concrete can mimic the look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. We have dozens of patterns and colors to choose from. Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stone in the concrete for a decorative, textured finish that hides wear well.

Want to add a matching concrete driveway? We can coordinate colors and patterns across your entire property for a cohesive look.

Built for West Lafayette's Climate

West Lafayette weather puts concrete through the wringer. Winter freeze-thaw cycles, spring storms, summer heat, and fall moisture all test your patio's durability. That's why we use air-entrained concrete mixes designed for cold climates and always recommend sealing your patio to protect against water infiltration and surface damage.

We also offer concrete repair services if you have an existing patio that needs some attention. From minor crack repairs to complete resurfacing, we can help extend the life of your outdoor space.
