Concrete Patios
Transform your outdoor living space with a beautiful, durable concrete patio built to last for decades.
Why Choose a Concrete Patio for Your Alexandria Home
Your backyard should be a place where you can relax and enjoy time with family and friends. A concrete patio gives you that space without the constant upkeep that comes with wood decks or other outdoor surfaces. Here in Alexandria, where we see hot summers and unpredictable weather, concrete stands up to everything Louisiana throws at it.
We have been building concrete patios throughout Alexandria and the surrounding areas since 2024. Our team knows exactly what it takes to create an outdoor living space that looks great and lasts for years. Whether you want a simple, clean slab or something more decorative with stamped patterns and colors, we can make it happen.
What Makes Concrete the Smart Choice
When you are deciding on materials for your patio, concrete offers benefits that other options just cannot match. Here is why so many homeowners in Alexandria choose concrete:
- Durability: Concrete can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance, far outlasting wood decks that need replacing every 10 to 15 years
- Low maintenance: No staining, sealing, or painting every year like wood requires
- Weather resistant: Handles Louisiana heat, humidity, and rain without warping, rotting, or developing mold
- Cost effective: Lower installation cost than pavers and much lower lifetime cost than wood
- Design flexibility: Can be stamped, stained, or dyed to look like stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost
- Increases home value: A quality concrete patio is a permanent improvement that adds to your property value
Our Patio Installation Process
Building a patio the right way means doing proper prep work before we ever pour concrete. We start by carefully measuring and marking out your patio area. Then we excavate to the correct depth, making sure we have proper slope for drainage so water flows away from your house.
Next comes the base layer. We use crushed stone that gets compacted to create a solid, stable foundation. This step is critical because a weak base leads to cracks and settling later on. We take our time here to get it right.
For the concrete itself, we use quality mix designed for outdoor flatwork. We pour, level, and finish the surface to your specifications. Whether you want a smooth finish, broom finish for traction, or a decorative stamped pattern, we have the skills and tools to deliver exactly what you want.
The final step is curing. Concrete needs time to reach full strength, and we make sure it cures properly. We also cut control joints at the right spacing to prevent random cracking. When we finish a job, you get a patio that will serve you well for decades.
Design Options for Your Patio
You have more choices than you might think when it comes to concrete patios. A basic gray slab is affordable and clean looking, but you can also go with:
- Stamped concrete that mimics the look of stone, slate, or brick
- Colored concrete using integral color or stains
- Exposed aggregate for a textured, decorative finish
- Borders and accent bands to add visual interest
- Custom shapes and curves instead of just square or rectangular
Concrete Patios for Alexandria Weather
Living in central Louisiana means dealing with hot, humid summers and occasional freezes in winter. Your patio needs to handle all of it. Concrete is ideal for our climate because it does not absorb moisture like wood, and it does not shift or settle like loose pavers can.
We know how to mix and pour concrete for Louisiana conditions. That means using the right water-to-cement ratio, proper reinforcement, and correct finishing techniques. We also make sure your patio has the right slope so rainwater drains properly instead of pooling.
