Why Choose a Concrete Patio for Your Mount Vernon Home
Your backyard deserves a space where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors. A concrete patio gives you exactly that. It creates a solid, level surface that handles everything from family barbecues to outdoor furniture without cracking or shifting. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that sink and separate, professionally installed concrete patios in Mount Vernon stay strong for decades.
Concrete patios work great in our local climate. They stand up to winter freezes, spring rain, and summer heat without breaking down. You get a low-maintenance outdoor space that looks good year after year. Plus, with modern concrete finishing techniques, you can create a patio that matches your home's style perfectly.

How We Install Your Concrete Patio
Site Preparation
We start by clearing and grading your patio area. This means removing grass, roots, and loose soil, then leveling the ground to ensure proper drainage. We make sure water flows away from your house, not toward it. This step prevents water damage and keeps your patio from settling unevenly.
Base Layer
Next, we add a compacted gravel base. This layer gives your patio stability and helps with drainage. We compact it thoroughly, so your patio won't sink or crack over time. This is the foundation that supports everything above it.
Concrete Pour and Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete at the right thickness for your patio's use. As the concrete sets, we smooth and finish the surface to your chosen texture. Whether you want a stamped pattern, brushed finish, or smooth surface, we create exactly what you're looking for. We also add control joints to manage natural expansion and contraction.
Curing
After finishing, your patio needs time to cure properly. We protect it from weather and foot traffic during this period. Proper curing makes the difference between a patio that lasts 30 years and one that cracks in five. We don't rush this step.
Patio Design Options
Your patio should reflect your style. We offer several finish options that change the look and feel of your concrete surface. Broom finish gives you a textured, slip-resistant surface that's perfect for areas around pools. Stamped concrete can mimic brick, stone, or tile patterns. Exposed aggregate creates a decorative, durable surface that shows the natural beauty of the stone within the concrete.
We can also add color to your patio through integral coloring or staining. This gives you options beyond standard gray concrete. Many Mount Vernon homeowners choose colors that complement their home's exterior or landscape design.
