Concrete Patio Construction
Extend your living space outdoors with custom concrete patios designed for entertaining, relaxation, and lasting enjoyment.
Custom Patio Design & Construction
A well-designed concrete patio transforms your backyard into an extension of your home, creating valuable outdoor living space for family gatherings, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing in your own private retreat. Unlike wooden decks that rot, warp, and require constant maintenance, or natural stone patios that can shift and become uneven, concrete patios provide decades of reliable service with minimal upkeep requirements. As Somerville's trusted concrete specialists, we design and build patios that perfectly complement your lifestyle and home architecture.
Our patio construction process starts with understanding how you want to use your outdoor space. Whether you're envisioning intimate dinner parties, large family gatherings, or a quiet morning coffee spot, we design patios that match your lifestyle and complement your home's architecture. We consider factors like sun exposure, privacy, drainage, and integration with existing landscaping to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
The construction process involves careful excavation and base preparation to ensure proper drainage and prevent settling. We install appropriate reinforcement and use concrete mixes specifically formulated for exterior applications. Our finishing techniques can create surfaces ranging from smooth and contemporary to textured and slip-resistant, and we offer extensive decorative options including stamped patterns, integral coloring, and accent borders that can mimic expensive materials at a fraction of the cost.
Benefits and Design Options
Fact 1: Concrete patios can last 50+ years with proper installation and minimal maintenance, compared to wooden decks that typically need replacement every 15-20 years. This longevity makes concrete patios one of the most cost-effective outdoor improvement investments homeowners can make.
Fact 2: Modern concrete patios can be customized with virtually unlimited design options through stamping, staining, and texturing techniques. We can create surfaces that replicate natural stone, brick, tile, or even wood grain patterns, providing the aesthetic appeal of premium materials with concrete's superior durability and lower maintenance requirements.
Fact 3: Properly designed concrete patios can increase property values by 8-15% while providing immediate improvements to outdoor living quality. The return on investment for concrete patio construction typically ranges from 75-100%, making it both a lifestyle enhancement and a smart financial decision.
We specialize in creating patios that integrate seamlessly with your landscape design, incorporating features like built-in planters, fire pit areas, seating walls, and multi-level designs that accommodate sloped yards. Our expertise in decorative concrete techniques allows us to create stunning visual effects while maintaining the practical benefits of easy maintenance, slip resistance, and weather durability that make concrete the ideal choice for Massachusetts outdoor living spaces.
