Concrete Patios

Your backyard should be a place where you want to spend time. A concrete patio gives you a clean, level surface for outdoor furniture, grills, fire pits, and entertaining. Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and need constant staining, concrete patios require minimal maintenance and last for decades.

Concrete handles the weather conditions we see in Zebulon, NC without breaking down. It stays cool in summer heat, does not get slippery like wood when wet, and stands up to our occasional freezing temperatures. You will not spend weekends repairing boards or applying sealant every year.

We design and install concrete patios in all sizes, from cozy reading nooks to large entertainment areas. Whether you want a simple square slab or a custom shape with curves and multiple levels, we can build it. Your patio should fit your lifestyle and your space, and we work with you to create exactly what you need.

Many homeowners consider wood decks when planning outdoor space, but concrete patios offer significant advantages. Let us walk you through the real differences so you can make an informed decision.

Concrete Patio Advantages:

• •Lower Maintenance: No staining, sealing, or replacing rotted boards. Just occasional cleaning with a hose or pressure washer.
• •Longer Lifespan: Concrete patios last 30 to 50 years with basic care. Wood decks need rebuilding after 15 to 20 years even with maintenance.
• •Better for Ground Level: Concrete works perfectly at grade level. Wood decks need elevation for airflow under the structure.
• •More Design Options: Concrete can be colored, stamped, stained, or textured to match any style. Wood is limited to stain colors and board patterns.
• •No Termites or Rot: Concrete will not attract pests or decay from moisture exposure.
• •Fire Resistant: Concrete will not catch fire from grills, fire pits, or stray embers.

Wood decks make sense when you need elevation or have specific architectural requirements. For ground-level outdoor living spaces, concrete delivers better value and performance over time.

Your patio does not have to look like plain gray concrete. We offer multiple finish options to create the look you want. Broom finish provides subtle texture and good traction. Exposed aggregate reveals the stones in the concrete mix for a decorative, natural appearance. Smooth trowel finish works great if you plan to add outdoor rugs or want a sleek modern look.

For something more dramatic, consider our stamped concrete options. We can create patterns that look like flagstone, slate, brick, or tile. Color can be added to the concrete or applied as stain afterward. Borders, bands, and accent areas let you customize the design to match your home.

Size matters when planning your patio. A general rule is to allow about 25 to 30 square feet per person for comfortable seating and movement. If you like to entertain, go bigger. We help you determine the right dimensions based on how you will use the space. We also plan for proper slope so water drains away from your house instead of pooling on the surface.

Looking for additional outdoor features? We also install concrete walkways and steps to connect your patio to other areas of your yard. Adding integrated planters, seat walls, or a fire pit surround turns your patio into a complete outdoor living area.
