Process Overview

Vision & Design

We start by collaborating with you to bring your dream patio to life. During this step, we’ll discuss your preferences for size, layout, and design elements like patterns or finishes. Whether you want a modern, minimalist space or a cozy, decorative retreat, we’ll ensure the final plan fits your style and needs perfectly.

Site Preparation

Once the design is finalized, we prepare the area for construction. This involves clearing the site, leveling the ground, and ensuring it’s free of debris or obstacles. If there’s existing concrete or other materials in the way, we handle the removal and proper disposal, leaving a clean slate to work on.

Foundation Work

A patio is only as strong as its foundation, so we take this step seriously. We lay a compacted gravel base to provide a stable platform and reinforce it with materials like rebar or mesh for added strength. This critical step ensures your patio stands the test of time, resisting shifting or cracking.

Pouring & Finishing

With the groundwork complete, we carefully pour premium concrete, spreading and leveling it with precision. At this stage, we can add decorative touches like stamping, staining, or texturing to give your patio the unique look you’ve envisioned. The result is a smooth, polished surface that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Curing & Final Touches

The final step is all about patience and perfection. We allow the concrete to cure properly, ensuring maximum durability and longevity. Once it’s ready, we apply sealants or protective coatings to enhance its resilience and appearance. After a thorough inspection, your patio is complete and ready to enjoy!
