Our Concrete Services and the
Work Behind Each One

New Concrete Patio Installation

Pouring a new patio starts well before the concrete truck arrives. We dig out the ground to the right depth. Next, we lay a compacted crushed-rock base. This base is what holds the slab level for years. We then set Grade 60 structural steel rebar grid mats inside the wooden forms. A crew member uses a battery-powered automatic rebar tying tool to lock each intersection tightly. This keeps the steel grid flat and even during the pour. A loose grid shifts in wet concrete and weakens the slab. All reinforcement work follows California Building Code Section 1907 structural concrete reinforcement standards.

Stamped Concrete Patios

A stamped concrete patio looks like natural stone or brick but costs far less. The design gets pressed into fresh concrete before it sets. First, we prepare and pour the slab. Next, we dust UV-resistant powder release agent coloring powder across the wet surface. This powder gives the concrete its base color. Also, it stops our stamping tools from sticking. We then press a heavy-duty polyurethane concrete stamping mat set firmly and evenly into the surface. Each press creates the pattern. We use locally sourced concrete mixes to meet California Green Building Standards Code Section 5.406 local materials sourcing rules.

Concrete Patio Resurfacing and Overlays

An old patio does not always need full demolition. If the base slab is solid but the top looks rough, worn, or stained, we can apply a fresh surface over it. First, we grind the top layer with a heavy-duty planetary diamond-wheel concrete floor grinding machine. Grinding opens up the pores and removes loose material. This creates a clean surface for bonding. Next, we apply a thin coat of polymer-modified cementitious concrete micro-topping overlay. This layer bonds tightly and dries to a smooth, fresh appearance. All overlay work meets California Building Code Section 11B-403 accessible route floor surface regulations so the surface stays safe and even.

Concrete Patio Repair and Drainage Correction

Cracks in concrete are not just an eyesore. Standing water next to your home can seep under the foundation. We address both problems in the same visit. We begin with a full inspection. We use a handheld digital concrete ultrasonic crack depth locator to find exactly how deep each crack goes. This tells us whether it is a surface issue or a structural one. For deep cracks, we inject low-viscosity structural epoxy injection resin directly into the gap. The resin flows in and bonds the two sides together from the inside out. We then regrade the yard to direct water away from the slab and the home. All grading follows California Residential Code Section R401.3 grading and drainage standards.

What People Usually Ask Us First

How thick does a concrete patio need to be?
Most residential patios are four inches thick. That is enough for foot traffic and standard outdoor furniture. If you plan to add a heavy spa, pizza oven, or outdoor kitchen, we increase the thickness during planning.
When can we walk on the new patio?
You can step on it lightly after 24 to 48 hours. We ask you to keep heavy items off the surface for at least seven days. The slab reaches its full hardness after 28 days.
Does concrete always end up cracking?
Concrete will shrink slightly as it dries. That is normal. We cut control joints into the slab to guide that shrinkage along straight lines. This keeps cracks hidden in the joints and out of the main surface.
Is a stamped patio safe to walk on when it rains?
Yes, if it is sealed with the right product. We add a clear slip-resistant additive to every sealer we use. This keeps the texture grippy without changing how the stamped pattern looks.
Do I need HOA approval before pouring concrete?
In most El Dorado Hills neighborhoods, yes. HOAs like those in Serrano and Empire Ranch require a layout drawing and material list before approving any new hardscape. We prepare those documents as part of our service.
Can you pour new concrete over my old cracked patio?
We do not recommend it. Cracks in the old slab always travel up into the new layer. The better path is to remove the old slab, fix the base, and pour fresh concrete.
