Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space you'll actually use with a custom concrete patio built to last.
Why Concrete Patios Make Sense in Fremont
Your backyard should be more than just grass. A concrete patio gives you a solid, clean surface for outdoor furniture, barbecues, and family time. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift, concrete stays level and maintenance-free for decades.
In Fremont's climate, you need a patio that can handle everything from hot summer sun to occasional winter rain. Concrete handles it all without warping, fading, or needing yearly maintenance. You get more outdoor living space without the constant upkeep.
What Makes a Quality Concrete Patio
- Proper grading and drainage so water flows away from your home
- Compacted base material that prevents settling and cracking
- Rebar reinforcement for long-term structural strength
- Control joints placed strategically to manage natural expansion
- Professional finishing for a smooth, slip-resistant surface
Patio Design Options That Fit Your Style
Your patio doesn't have to be plain gray. We offer several finish options to match your home and personal taste. Standard broom finish gives you a clean, non-slip surface that works for any style. Stamped concrete can mimic the look of stone, tile, or brick at a fraction of the cost. You can also add color with integral pigments or acid stains for a custom look.
The size and shape of your patio depends on how you plan to use it. Need space for a dining table and chairs? We'll make sure you have enough room to move around comfortably. Want a fire pit area or outdoor kitchen? We can design the layout to accommodate those features. We walk you through the options during our free on-site consultation.
How We Build Your Patio
Every patio project starts with site preparation. We excavate to the proper depth, ensuring good drainage away from your home. The base gets compacted in layers so nothing settles later. We install rebar reinforcement in a grid pattern for maximum strength.
Once the forms are set, we pour high-quality concrete mixed to the right specs for our local climate. Our crew hand-finishes every square foot to your chosen texture. Control joints get cut at the right spacing to prevent random cracking. We then apply curing compound and protect the surface while it hardens properly.
Most patios are ready to walk on in 24 to 48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before moving heavy furniture. This gives the concrete time to reach its full strength. We handle all the details so you don't have to worry about anything. Looking for other concrete work? Check out our concrete walkway services or our decorative stamped concrete options.
