Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space you'll love spending time in.
Your Backyard Deserves Better
A concrete patio gives you a solid foundation for outdoor living. Whether you want a simple space for your grill or a full outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, we build patios that last. Here in Upland, CA, your patio needs to handle everything from hot summer sun to occasional rain, and we know exactly how to build for our local climate.
We've poured hundreds of patios across the Inland Empire, and we understand what works in this area. The right concrete mix, proper drainage, and careful finishing make all the difference between a patio that looks good for a few years and one that stays beautiful for decades.
What Makes a Great Patio
Your patio is more than just a concrete slab. It's where you'll spend summer evenings, host barbecues, and watch your kids play. Here's what goes into building one that lasts:
- Proper base preparation: We excavate and compact the soil, then add gravel for drainage. This prevents settling and cracking.
- Correct thickness: Most patios need 4 inches of concrete, but high-traffic areas might need more. We calculate based on your specific use.
- Control joints: These planned breaks prevent random cracking. We space them correctly for your patio size.
- Surface finish options: Choose from broom finish for traction, smooth trowel for a clean look, or decorative stamping for texture and pattern.
- Proper slope: Water needs to drain away from your house. We grade everything correctly to prevent pooling.
Why Concrete Beats Other Options
You might be considering pavers, wood decking, or other materials. Here's why concrete makes sense for most Upland homeowners. It costs less upfront and requires almost no maintenance. Wood needs staining every few years and can rot in our climate. Pavers look nice but can shift, grow weeds, and need regular releveling. Concrete just sits there and does its job.
Plus, concrete gives you design flexibility. Want a smooth, modern look? We can do that. Prefer something that mimics natural stone? Stamped concrete gives you that high-end appearance without the high-end price tag. You can also add color, borders, or patterns to make your patio unique.
Our Patio Installation Process
We start by meeting with you to understand how you'll use the space. A simple dining area needs different planning than an outdoor kitchen. Then we measure, mark utilities, and plan drainage. On installation day, we prep the base, set forms, pour the concrete, and finish the surface. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days from start to finish, and you can walk on it in about 24 hours, though we recommend waiting a week before putting furniture out.
We've been serving Upland and the surrounding areas since 2024, and we take pride in getting every detail right. From the initial design consultation to the final seal coat, we handle everything so you don't have to worry about coordinating multiple contractors.
