Concrete Patios in Merced, CA

New Patio Installation

Excavation, base compaction, forming, reinforcement, placement, and finishing are handled as one job with one crew. Size and shape come from an unhurried walk through of the yard rather than a standard rectangle simply dropped behind the back door.

Patio Extensions and Additions

Undersized slabs get widened with doweled connections and a deliberate control joint at the seam. The addition is graded to continue the existing drainage line, so the enlarged surface still moves water away from the house exactly as it should.

Covered Patio and Pergola Slabs

Post footings, anchor placement, and load points are formed into the pour before any structure goes up. Getting those embeds right the first time saves drilling into finished concrete months later and keeps the finished cover square to the house.

Fire Pit and Seating Areas

Recessed hearth pads, curved seat wall footings, and radiused edges are laid out on the ground with paint before anything is formed. The finished shape follows the way people naturally sit, stand, and move around an outdoor fire on a cool evening.

Pool Deck Flatwork

Surfaces around water get a texture that stays grippy when wet and a lighter color that does not roast bare feet in August. Expansion joints are placed to isolate the deck completely from the pool shell and coping.

Patio Resurfacing and Repair

Sound slabs with tired surfaces can take a polymer overlay, a fresh stain, or a decorative topping instead of full replacement. We assess whether the base beneath is stable enough to justify resurfacing at all before recommending either path to you.

FAQ's

Sized Around Your Furniture, Not a Template

We ask what table, seating, grill, and walking space you need before anything gets staked out. Patios that end up 2 feet too narrow are the single most common regret we hear about, and the mistake is entirely avoidable.

Water That Leaves, Quietly

Fall is set at roughly a quarter-inch per foot away from the structure, enough to drain fully and gentle enough that chairs still sit level. Nobody should have to sweep standing water off a patio after every irrigation cycle.

Finishes Chosen for Bare Feet

Broom, salt, and light texture options are compared for grip, heat retention, and how they feel underfoot in high summer. A finish that looks striking in a photograph is worthless if nobody wants to stand on it in July.

Joints Placed as Part of the Design

Control joints have to exist, so they may as well line up with corners, columns, and the underlying geometry of the space. Planned layout turns a purely functional requirement into something that reads across the slab as an intentional pattern.

Built to Grow Later

Conduit sleeves for future lighting, footings for a cover you have not built yet, and a clean edge for later expansion cost very little now. Adding any of them afterward means cutting into finished concrete you just paid for.

Site Left the Way We Found It

Access routes are protected, spoil is hauled away the same week, and the lawn and beds around the work get put back in order. A finished patio surrounded by rutted turf and dried concrete splatter is only half a job.
