Concrete Patios

Your backyard should be more than just grass and dirt. A concrete patio creates the perfect foundation for outdoor entertaining, family meals, and relaxing after a long day. Here in Bowling Green, KY, we know how important it is to have a patio that can handle our hot summers, occasional freezes, and everything in between.

We have built hundreds of concrete patios across Warren County, and we have learned exactly what works for our local climate and soil conditions. A properly built patio is not just about pouring concrete. It is about proper site preparation, correct grading for drainage, and using techniques that prevent cracks and settling over time.

Why Concrete Patios Make Sense

Concrete is one of the most durable and affordable options for outdoor living spaces. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift, a well-built concrete patio stays level and solid for decades. You can walk on it, place furniture on it, and use it year after year without worrying about major maintenance.

Here is what makes concrete patios a smart choice for your home:

• •Long-lasting durability: Concrete can last 30 years or more with minimal upkeep
• •Low maintenance: No yearly sealing or painting required like wood surfaces
• •Versatile design: Can be stamped, stained, or textured to match your style
• •Weather resistant: Handles Kentucky's temperature swings without warping
• •Cost effective: Less expensive than natural stone with similar longevity

How We Build Your Patio

Building a patio the right way takes more than just mixing and pouring concrete. We follow a detailed process that ensures your patio will drain properly, stay level, and resist cracking.

Site Preparation and Grading

We start by excavating the area and removing any grass, roots, or unstable soil. Then we grade the site with a slight slope away from your home to prevent water from pooling near your foundation. Proper drainage is critical here in Bowling Green where heavy rains can create problems if your patio slopes the wrong way.

Base Installation

Next, we install a compacted gravel base that provides stable support and allows water to drain through. This base prevents your patio from settling unevenly over time. We compact it in layers to ensure it stays solid under the weight of the concrete.

Concrete Pour and Finish

Finally, we pour the concrete at the right thickness for your needs, typically 4 to 6 inches depending on how you plan to use the space. We add control joints to manage any natural expansion and contraction, and we finish the surface to your specifications, whether you want a smooth trowel finish, broom texture, or decorative stamped pattern.
