Why Choose Concrete for Your New Patio?
Concrete is one of the most popular and versatile materials for outdoor patios. Here are some of the benefits that make it an excellent choice:
Unmatched Durability
Properly poured and finished concrete patios can last for decades with minimal maintenance required. The material is incredibly strong and stands up well to heavy foot traffic, furniture, and extreme weather conditions. Concrete won’t rot, warp, or splinter like wood can.
Design Flexibility
Concrete can be molded into just about any shape and size to suit your space. Curves, angles, and organic patterns are all possible. You can incorporate functional features like benches, planters, and fire pits right into the patio surface.
Variety of Finishes
From smooth and sleek to heavily textured, concrete patios feature a wide range of finish options. We can mimic materials like stone, brick, tile, and even wood using creative techniques. This allows for endless customization.
Durability and Low Maintenance
A properly sealed and treated concrete patio requires very little upkeep. An occasional power washing is all that’s needed to keep it looking fresh and clean. Resealing the surface every 2-3 years will maintain protection.
Enhanced Property Value
An attractive, high-quality concrete patio can boost your home’s curb appeal and resale value. For many homeowners, upgrading their outdoor space is a smart investment.
Year-Round Enjoyment
Concrete patios allow you to fully utilize your yard regardless of the weather. Rain, sun, or snow won’t hinder your ability to barbecue, dine al fresco, or relax outside.

Our Concrete Patio Construction Process
At S&S Paving and Concrete, our concrete patio construction process is designed to create a flawless finished product that excels in both form and function:
- Design Consultation: The process starts with a one-on-one design meeting at your home. We’ll discuss your vision for the space, preferred materials, functionality needs, budget, and project timeline. If needed, we can provide 3D design renderings to help visualize the finished patio.
- Site Evaluation and Preparation: Before pouring any concrete, we thoroughly inspect the site and substrate to identify any issues that must be addressed. This may involve grading, filling low areas, tree root removal, or soil compaction. We take care of all necessary site preparation for proper patio installation.
- Formwork Installation: We construct custom formwork from wood or steel to create the precise shape and boundaries of your new concrete patio. The formwork contains the concrete until it cures and provides a foundation for the finishing techniques.
- Concrete Pouring: With the forms in place, we coordinate the concrete delivery and pouring based on square footage. Our team uses special techniques to properly consolidate, screed, and edge the freshly poured concrete for optimal consistency and strength.
- Finish Application: After the concrete initially sets up, we apply the special finish to achieve your desired look. From basic broom finishes to exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, stencils, and more—the options are virtually endless.
- Curing and Sealing: Allowing the concrete to cure slowly and properly is imperative. We take measures to control moisture evaporation and temperature. Once fully cured, we apply a protective sealer tailored to your needs.
- Edging, Cleaning and Protection: As a final touch, decorative trim and edging can be added if desired. We thoroughly clean the new patio and surrounding areas once finished. Heavy foot traffic is restricted in the initial days to avoid damage.
Our concrete artisans will work diligently to construct your dream patio. We welcome any level of homeowner involvement in the process and are happy to explain each step along the way.
Types of Concrete Patio Finishes We Offer
The range of concrete patio finishes we offer allows for complete customization aligned with your tastes:
| Broom Finish | A popular, slip-resistant surface with faint ridges left by pulling a broom across the concrete. The look is understated and classic. |
| Stamped Concrete | Using textured mats, we can create gorgeous patterns that resemble materials like stone, brick, wood, and tile. The options are virtually endless. |
| Exposed Aggregate | This finish exposes the rocks in the concrete mix for a unique, sparkling appearance. We can polish the aggregate for added flair. |
| Acid Staining | For vibrant, variegated color effects, acid stains react with the concrete to create translucent hues in organic patterns. Sealing provides protection. |
| Decorative Concrete Overlays | For existing concrete patios, we can apply a fresh, decorative concrete overlay in new textures and colors without tearing out the original slab. |
| Stenciling | Using custom stencils, we can apply patterns, designs, logos, or lettering in contrasting colors. Great for adding a personal touch. |
| Saw Cutting | This technique uses precise saw cuts to divide the patio into panels or custom shapes. Grout or vegetation in the joints creates definition. |
Let your imagination run wild—if you can dream it, we can build it! We will work with you to select the ideal finishes for your new patio that align with your personal taste and lifestyle needs.
Customize Your New Concrete Patio with Exciting Enhancements
Plain concrete has its appeal, but introducing creative enhancements takes your patio to the next level:
Integrated Benches, Planters, and Seating
For an organic feel, we can build benches, fire pits, grill stations, and planters right into the patio surface. This maximizes usable space.
Inlaid Designs
From seashells to marbles to ceramic shards, we can set personal objects into the wet concrete to create sentimental designs.
Contrasting Borders and Banding
Borders and bands in a different finish, texture, or color add interest. For example, pair a broom finish center with exposed aggregate edges.
Pool Coping
The patio can gracefully flow right up to the pool’s edge. Options like volcanic rock coping and tile inlays complement the poolscape beautifully.
Accent Lighting
For evening ambiance, we can install path lighting, step lights, or illuminated benches cast a warm glow over the entire patio.
Fire Elements
From sleek fire bowls to grand fireplaces, integrating fire features into your patio encourages gathering and extends usage into cooler months.
Decorative Concrete Pavers
For patios with a more modular look, concrete pavers in an array of styles, colors, and shapes can be laid over sand or gravel.
Let your personality shine through by incorporating special touches that make your concrete patio distinctly yours. Our experienced team will bring your unique design to life.
How Regular Maintenance Keeps Your Concrete Patio Looking Fantastic
The best way to safeguard your investment in a new high-quality concrete patio is through proper maintenance. With occasional upkeep, your patio will provide lasting beauty and functionality for decades to come. We recommend:
- Regular Cleanings: Every few months, give the patio a thorough cleaning using a pressure washer or stiff scrub brush and concrete cleaner. This prevents buildup of dirt, grime, and stains.
- Moss and Mildew Prevention: In Florida’s climate, moisture can lead to moss and mildew growth. Special cleaners and a dilution of bleach water helps kill and prevent future growth.
- Resealing Every 2-3 Years: Over time, the protective sealer wears down. Reapplication every few years refreshes the barrier against moisture damage and staining.
- Crack and Joint Repairs: Natural cracks and joints can deteriorate and widen over years of use. Our pros can repair damaged areas to restore structural integrity.
- Spot Repairs as Needed: For small damaged or crumbling areas of the patio, we can grind out the old concrete and patch in fresh material for a permanent fix.
- Pressure Washing: Over time, surfaces can collect stubborn grime unlikely to come clean with regular sweeping and hosing. Pressure washing restores the patio’s like-new appearance.
With proper care, your concrete patio will function beautifully and enhance your property for decades. Contact S&S Paving and Concrete if your existing patio ever needs repairs, refreshing, or restoration. We provide complete maintenance services to keep patios safe and stunning.
