Why Choose a Concrete Patio in Greensboro?
Concrete patios are often more cost-effective and durable than decks, requiring virtually zero maintenance (no staining or rotten wood). We ensure your patio is properly sloped away from your home’s foundation, protecting homes in Irving Park and Adams Farm. We guarantee the use of high-strength concrete and reinforcement to prevent cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How thick will my concrete patio be, and what reinforcement do you use?
A: We pour all residential patios to a minimum thickness of 4 inches, which is the industry standard for foot traffic and daily use and can pour thicker slab areas for heavy loads (like hot tubs or built-in outdoor kitchens) are planned.
Q: What is the ideal time of year to pour a new concrete patio?
A: The ideal time is during the spring or fall when temperatures are consistently above 40F and below 85F during the pouring and initial curing period. While concrete can be poured year-round, mild temperatures ensure the best, most controlled cure, leading to maximum strength and durability against cracking.
Q: How long until I can walk on the patio, and when should it be sealed?
A: You can safely walk on the patio after 24 to 48 hours. We recommend waiting at least 7 days before placing heavy furniture or equipment on the slab. The concrete will reach its full structural strength after about 28 days, which is when we recommend applying a professional sealant to protect the surface from moisture and stains.

Q: Why should I choose your traditional broom-finished concrete over stamped concrete or pavers?
A: Traditional concrete is the most durable and cost-effective option. Unlike stamped concrete, which can be slippery and difficult to repair without noticeable patching, our broom-finished patios offer guaranteed slip-resistance, lower upfront and long-term maintenance costs, and a classic, clean foundation that lasts for decades.

Q: Does the installation include preparing the ground and ensuring proper drainage?
A: Absolutely. Our service is comprehensive. We start by excavating and properly compacting the sub-base (often including a gravel layer) to prevent settling.
