Why Choose a Concrete Patio?
Concrete patios offer numerous advantages for Pueblo homeowners who want a high-performance outdoor space that looks great year-round. We focus on delivering a product that balances immediate curb appeal with the long-term structural integrity required by our local environment.
- Durability: Colorado has wide variations in temperatures as well as heavy snowloads in the winter, and concrete can withstand these conditions without warping, rotting, or splitting like wood does. Therefore, a concrete patio will remain a strong, stable, durable surface throughout the changing seasons.
- Versatility: We can help you create limitless design options that will enable your new patio to reflect the unique architectural style of your home as well as complement your existing yard and landscaping. From a modern, sleek design to an organic, flowing design, we can stamp, stain, and texture your concrete to meet your exact desires.
- Maintenance Requirements: Compared to wood decks that require continuous staining, painting, and board replacement to ensure they continue to be safe to walk on, a concrete patio requires very little maintenance. Simply washing and periodically re-sealing the concrete will keep your patio looking brand new for years to come.
- Longevity: If your concrete patio is properly installed and site prepared, it should last for many decades with regular maintenance. Because of its longevity, it is one of the best, if not the best, options for creating a sustainable and lasting enhancement to your backyard living space.
- Cost Effectiveness: Compared to natural stone, a concrete patio offers a premium look and feel with the added benefit of being less expensive. Additionally, because of the low maintenance costs associated with owning a concrete patio, you will also save money in the long run.
- Customization: Every slab we pour can be stamped, stained, or textured to your liking to create a truly unique outdoor environment. This flexibility allows you to mimic the appearance of expensive brick, slate, or cobblestone while maintaining the structural benefits of a solid pour.
Our Concrete Patio Design Process
We follow a comprehensive design phase to ensure that your new outdoor living space perfectly aligns with your lifestyle and property constraints. This collaborative approach allows us to address technical requirements while bringing your aesthetic vision to life.
- Initial Consultation: We meet to discuss your ideas for the project, budget, and space needed to identify the top priorities for your new outdoor room. These conversations allow us to decide on the most efficient measurements and features for your intended use of the area.
- Site Analysis: We evaluate your property’s configuration as well as the soil composition to ensure that your yard has adequate stability to support a long-lasting concrete structure. Our team locates any potential drainage problems or slope-related challenges that should be solved in the engineering phase to avoid future patio sagging.
- Design: Our team develops a custom patio design for you by creating harmony between the beauty of the design and your ability to walk around and place furniture comfortably in the space. We present a detailed floor plan showing how the new concrete structure will connect to the exit doors of your home and how it will fit into the landscape features adjacent to your house.
- Materials: We assist you in choosing the correct mixture of concrete and finishes to produce the most durable surfaces possible for this area at high altitude. At this stage, we will also help you select the color and texture of your surface that will enhance the appearance of your home’s exterior and ensure the surface is both safe and comfortable for people who are barefoot.
- 3D Visualization: If you would like, we will create a digital representation of your finished patio to allow you to get a clear view of your completed patio before we start digging. Using this modern technology, you can see how various textures and designs will appear next to your existing home so you can make informed design decisions.
Our Concrete Patio Installation Process
Our installation process follows strict industry standards to ensure your new outdoor space is both structurally sound and visually perfect. We manage every technical detail to prevent common issues like cracking or improper water runoff that can occur with less experienced contractors.
- Site Preparation: We excavate and prepare the site for drainage so that all of the rainwater will run away from your house. Once the site has been prepared for drainage, we compact the subbase to ensure it is solid and level to prevent sagging.
- Form Setting: Using professionally manufactured forms, our team sets up the boundaries of your new patio. The form setting is critical to ensure the edges are either perfectly straight or smoothly curved according to your specifications.
- Reinforcement: For increased structural strength and load-bearing capacity, we install rebar or wire mesh within the concrete slab. The reinforcement provides resistance against the tensile forces generated by Pueblo’s extreme temperature fluctuations and soil movement.
- Pouring the Concrete: With great care, our experienced team pours and finishes the concrete to ensure a uniform thickness and perfectly flat surface. High-quality tools are used to ensure the material is consolidated properly and free of any air pockets.
- Texturing or Stamping: A finish is applied to give your patio a unique appearance, ranging from a simple non-slip broom finish to elaborate designs. Our team is skilled at advanced stamping techniques to ensure that the design is realistically executed across the entire surface.
- Curing & Sealing: We ensure the correct curing process and then apply a protective sealant to maintain the color of the concrete. Properly sealing your patio will help prevent damage from UV light exposure and make cleaning easier for you.
Concrete Patio Design Options
We provide a wide array of customization features to ensure your new patio serves as a unique reflection of your personal style. Our team utilizes specialized tools and high-quality pigments to achieve a professional finish that enhances the visual appeal of your entire backyard.
Stamped Patterns
Our staff uses commercial molds to reproduce the look of real stone, brick, or tile. We can accurately replicate the detailed characteristics of these materials to give you the sophistication of high-end masonry at a lower cost and with much less maintenance.
Colored Concrete
By mixing the integral color directly into the batch before pouring, our crew can add warmth and personality to your space with a color that is consistently applied throughout the slab. This process produces a rich, deep color that will remain vibrant throughout its lifespan.
Exposed Aggregate
To create a textured, slip-resistant surface, we remove the top layer of cement paste to expose the beautiful natural stones beneath. This surface provides a superior grip for poolside areas and creates an organic look that seamlessly integrates with Colorado’s diverse landscape.
Smooth Finish
A smooth finish is ideal for a modern, sleek design that complements contemporary home styles and minimalist architectural designs. It is a versatile, elegant background for any type of outdoor furniture and decorative elements you may choose to enhance your patio.
Borders & Inlays
Borders & inlays can add a great deal of visual interest to your patio when used with contrasting colors or different stamped patterns. They clearly define the boundaries of your living area and add a touch of luxury and custom workmanship to your patio.
Enhancing Your Concrete Patio
We offer several integrated features to transform your basic slab into a fully functional outdoor living suite. Our team can incorporate these permanent structural elements during the initial pour to ensure a seamless and cohesive look for your backyard.
Seating Walls
The seating walls we install are made of stone or concrete and can be built right into the patio design, allowing for a permanent place for guest seating. In addition to providing a seating place, they also serve as a beautiful border to your yard.
Fire Pits
A fire pit is a great element to add a central focal point to your gatherings, and we can build it in the same material and style as your patio, so it blends well into your overall aesthetic. It provides a common meeting place for cooler evening get-togethers and adds to the usable time of your outdoor space in the fall.
Outdoor Kitchen
We can build a dedicated space for outdoor cooking on your patio by installing a base for a grill, smoker, or outdoor countertops. The base helps keep your outdoor appliances stable and out of the way so you can utilize the patio for summer entertaining.
Pergolas/Shade Structures
During our installation process, we will also install structural footings to support your pergola or other vertical elements to provide some much-needed shade. Installing these elements with your patio will allow you to spend time outside without being overwhelmed by the sun’s rays during the hottest part of the day.
Lighting
We also install special lighting features around the steps and edges of your patio to enhance the beauty of your patio at night and to increase the safety of your transition and walkways. The low-voltage systems we use will illuminate the architectural features of your patio and will make sure your transitions and walkways are always visible.

Concrete Patio Maintenance
Maintaining your new outdoor living space is a straightforward process that ensures the surface remains vibrant and structurally sound for years. By following these basic care steps, you can prevent the common wear and tear associated with exposure to the high-altitude sun and changing seasons.
- Regular Sweeping and Power Washing: Regularly sweep off your patio to remove dirt, pollen, and other organic matter from the surface. Also, periodically use a pressure washer to remove large amounts of debris that can become lodged in the pores of your patio.
- Re-Seal Your Patio: Based on our recommendations, we feel that you should re-seal your patio surface at least every 2 to 3 years to provide a solid barrier. Re-sealing your patio surface will also help to maintain the rich color of stamped/stained concrete and prevent scaling during freeze-thaw cycles.
- Preventing Stains: Keep your patio looking its best by cleaning up any food stains or grease spills right after they happen. If you allow these types of substances to penetrate the porous surface of your patio, they can leave lasting stains and make the area look uninviting.
- Winter Care: Do not use rock salt or other ice-melt products to melt ice on your patio during the winter months. If your patio surface becomes slippery when it has snowed or rained, consider using plain sand to provide traction without damaging the sealant.
