Installing a concrete patio involves several key steps. First, the area is prepared, which includes excavation and grading to ensure proper drainage. Next, forms are set up to define the patio's shape and size. Reinforcement, such as rebar or mesh, is placed within the forms for added strength. The concrete is then poured, spread, and smoothed to create a level surface. Control joints are cut to prevent cracking as the concrete cures. Finally, the patio is cured properly to achieve maximum durability. We'll walk you through the entire process when you call.

For paving slabs, a durable concrete mix with good workability is essential. The mix should contain the correct ratio of cement, aggregates (sand and gravel), and water. Air-entraining agents are often added to improve resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, which is important in varying climates. The concrete should be strong enough to withstand foot traffic and potential loads. We use appropriate mixes for all paving projects and can provide a quote after assessing your needs.
