Concrete Patios
Create an outdoor living space that you will actually use, built to handle our Central Illinois weather without constant repairs.
Turn Your Backyard Into Usable Space
Your backyard should be more than just grass to mow. A concrete patio gives you a stable, level area where you can set up furniture, grill with friends, or simply enjoy your morning coffee without worrying about uneven ground or muddy spots. We build patios that become the center of outdoor life for families throughout Champaign, Urbana, and surrounding areas.
Unlike wood decks that rot, splinter, and need constant staining, concrete patios require almost no maintenance. You do not need to worry about termites, warping boards, or replacing sections every few years. A good concrete patio simply sits there and does its job year after year. When you factor in the time and money you save on maintenance, concrete becomes the clear choice for busy homeowners.
We work with you to design a patio that fits how you actually use your outdoor space. Maybe you need room for a large dining table and chairs. Maybe you want separate areas for cooking and lounging. Or perhaps you just want a simple square pad that gives you a clean outdoor area. Whatever your vision, we make sure the finished patio works with your home layout and landscape.
Design Your Perfect Outdoor Space
The days of boring gray concrete are long gone. We offer design options that make your patio look like a custom outdoor room. You can choose from different colors, textures, and patterns that match your home style. Many of our customers love the look of stamped concrete that mimics natural stone or brick without the high cost and maintenance those materials require.
Popular Patio Features
- Colored concrete in earth tones that blend naturally with your landscape
- Decorative borders that frame your patio and add visual interest
- Multiple texture options from smooth to textured for better traction
- Custom shapes that work around trees, gardens, or existing structures
If you already have a concrete driveway, we can match or complement that look so your property has a cohesive appearance. We will show you samples and photos of completed projects to help you visualize what works best for your space. The right design choices make your patio feel like a natural extension of your home rather than an afterthought.
Built to Last Through Illinois Seasons
Central Illinois puts outdoor surfaces through a real test. We get freezing winters, hot humid summers, and everything in between. Your patio needs to handle all of it without cracking, settling, or becoming a safety hazard. That is why we start with proper ground preparation and use the right concrete mix for our local conditions.
Our Installation Process
We begin by excavating to the correct depth and creating a compacted gravel base that provides stability and drainage. This foundation work prevents settling and keeps water from pooling on your patio surface. We install the patio with a slight slope away from your house to ensure rainwater runs off properly rather than toward your foundation.
Every patio gets reinforcement and control joints placed at the right intervals. These features help your concrete handle the natural expansion and contraction that happens with temperature changes. We also apply a quality finish that gives you the right amount of texture for safety without making the surface rough or uncomfortable for bare feet.
After the pour, we properly cure your new patio to ensure it reaches full strength. Most patios are ready for furniture and normal use within a week. We will give you specific guidance on care and when you can start using your new outdoor space. Many of our local customers tell us their concrete patio becomes their favorite part of the house once it is complete.
