Our Patio Installation Process

We follow a proven, systematic approach to ensure your new concrete patio is built to last through Minnesota's harsh seasonal changes.

1

Design Consultation

We begin with an in-depth discussion of your outdoor living goals, designing a patio that complements your home's style and meets your functional needs.

2

Site Preparation

We carefully mark the patio area, remove existing structures if needed, and excavate to the proper depth, establishing a solid foundation for your new patio.

3

Base Installation

A properly compacted base of crushed stone provides stability and drainage, preventing shifting and cracking during Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.

4

Form Setting & Reinforcement

We install forms to define your patio's exact shape and add fiber mesh or rebar reinforcement to enhance concrete strength and prevent future cracking.

5

Concrete Pouring

Using high-quality concrete mixed to proper specifications, we pour, level, and establish proper slope for optimal drainage away from your home's foundation.

6

Finishing & Detailing

Whether you've chosen a smooth finish, stamped pattern, or exposed aggregate, our skilled finishers apply the perfect technique to achieve your desired look.

7

Curing & Protection

We apply curing compounds and protect the new patio surface during the critical hardening period, ensuring maximum strength development.

8

Sealing & Final Touches

We apply a high-quality concrete sealer to enhance color, protect against stains, and improve long-term durability before completing your project.

Available Patio Finishes

Standard Broom Finish

Our most economical option provides a clean, classic look with a light texture that offers slip resistance. Perfect for those who prefer a simple, timeless appearance.

Stamped Concrete

Achieve the look of brick, slate, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost. Stamped concrete offers endless pattern options to complement any home's architectural style.

Exposed Aggregate

By revealing the natural stone within the concrete mix, this finish creates a textured, decorative surface that's both durable and slip-resistant, ideal for pool surrounds.

Stained Concrete

Add rich, earth-toned colors that won't fade or peel like paint. Concrete staining can create a variegated, natural-looking finish that enhances any outdoor space.

Decorative Saw Cuts

Strategic saw cuts can create geometric patterns and designs, transforming a simple concrete slab into a custom artistic statement for your backyard.

Polished Concrete

For a modern, sophisticated look, polished concrete offers a smooth, reflective surface that brings elegance to contemporary home designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about concrete patio installation

How long will my concrete patio last?

A properly installed concrete patio typically lasts 30+ years in Minnesota when properly maintained. Factors affecting longevity include installation quality, concrete mix design, proper reinforcement, and regular maintenance. Our patios are designed with Minnesota's climate in mind, using air-entrained concrete and proper jointing to maximize lifespan.

What's the difference between stamped and standard concrete patios?

Standard concrete patios have a smooth or broom-finished surface, offering a clean, uniform appearance at a lower cost. Stamped concrete patios feature patterns impressed into the concrete while it's still wet, mimicking the look of brick, stone, tile, or wood. Stamped concrete provides a more decorative appearance with greater design versatility, though it typically costs 30-50% more than standard concrete. Both options offer the same structural benefits and longevity when properly installed.

How soon can we use our new patio after installation?

While you can walk on your new concrete patio after 24-48 hours, we recommend waiting at least 7 days before placing heavy furniture on it. Complete curing takes about 28 days. Following these guidelines ensures your patio reaches its full strength potential and longevity. Weather conditions can affect curing times, with cooler temperatures potentially extending the waiting period.

How do you prevent my concrete patio from cracking?

We employ several techniques to minimize cracking:

  • Proper base preparation with compacted aggregate
  • Fiber mesh and/or rebar reinforcement throughout the concrete
  • Strategic control joints that allow concrete to crack in predetermined locations
  • Proper concrete mix design with appropriate strength and air entrainment
  • Expert finishing techniques that don't overwork the surface
  • Proper curing procedures to control moisture loss

While some hairline cracks may still develop due to Minnesota's extreme temperature fluctuations, these measures significantly reduce their likelihood and severity.

What maintenance does a concrete patio require?

Concrete patios require minimal maintenance compared to wood decks or other materials. We recommend:

  • Regularly sweeping to remove debris
  • Occasional power washing (once or twice a year)
  • Reapplying sealer every 2-3 years to maintain protection
  • Promptly cleaning spills to prevent staining
  • Using furniture pads to prevent scratching
  • Avoiding harsh deicing chemicals during winter months

With these simple steps, your concrete patio will maintain its appearance for decades.
