Backyard concrete
Concrete Patios in Justice, IL
A flat, solid place for the table and grill that sends rain toward the lawn instead of your basement.
Built for Cookouts, Pitched for Storms
A patio should be the easiest part of the yard. You put chairs on it, the grill sits in the corner, kids ride scooters across it. The trouble starts when it was sized wrong or poured flat. A patio that is too small gets abandoned for the grass. One with no pitch, or worse, pitch toward the house, sends every storm against your foundation and into the basement window wells. First question from us: who sits out there, and how many? How many people at the table. Where the grill goes. Where the door swings. Then we lay it out with room to move. The ground is dug, stone base packed, and the forms are set with a steady fall away from the house toward the yard. We pour around 4 inches thick for most patios, finish it the way you want, and cut joints in a pattern that fits the shape. Broom finish for grip. Smooth trowel if you prefer clean and modern. Stamped if you want the look of stone. On a clay lot in Justice, that drainage plan is not optional.
What Your Patio Includes
Shape and finish are your call. These pieces come standard.
Layout for real use
Sized around furniture, the grill and the door, with room to walk around the table.
Excavation and base
Sod and soft soil removed, stone spread and compacted under the whole footprint.
Pitch away from the house
A deliberate fall so water heads to the yard and not toward your foundation.
Finish of your choice
Broomed texture, a slick trowel finish, or a stamped stone pattern with color.
Joint pattern
Cuts laid out to fit the shape, keeping cracks controlled and the look tidy.
Edge cleanup
Forms pulled, soil backfilled along the edges and the yard left ready for new grass.
How Your Patio Gets Built
Talk and measure
We ask how you will use the space, then come out to measure, check the slope of the yard and mark where water should go.
Price and prep
Square footage, slab depth, stone, finish and any demolition each show up in writing. On pour week the area is dug, based and formed.
Pour, finish, cure
The patio is poured and finished, joints are cut, and it cures. Forms come out and the edges are cleaned up.
