Concrete patio installation

A poured concrete patio gives you a clean, seamless surface with lower long-term maintenance than pavers — good for a modern look, a budget-conscious project, or a large continuous area like a pool deck.

We offer broom-finish for a simple, slip-resistant surface, stamped concrete for a textured pattern that mimics stone or pavers at a lower cost, and exposed aggregate for a durable, decorative finish.

The build sequence: excavate and compact the subgrade, set forms to the exact grade and a slope of about a quarter-inch per foot away from the house, then place wire mesh or rebar on chairs so it sits centered in the slab instead of resting on the dirt (reinforcement that touches the ground doesn't do its job). We pour a minimum 4-inch slab, finish it broom, stamped, or exposed-aggregate depending on your choice, and cut control joints within about 24 hours at intervals roughly 2 to 3 times the slab thickness in feet — that's what tells the concrete where to crack invisibly as it cures and shrinks, instead of cracking wherever it wants.

We reinforce and control-joint every pour correctly for Utah's frost depth, which is what actually prevents the random cracking that gives concrete patios a bad reputation.

Grading and drainage are planned before the pour, not after, so water moves away from your house instead of pooling on the patio.

Control joints get cut within a day of the pour on every job — skip or delay that step and the slab picks its own crack line instead of the one you planned for.
