Outdoor living, in concrete.— sized to how you use it.
A concrete patio is a long-term outdoor living investment. Done right, it integrates with your home’s architecture, drains away from the foundation, holds up to weather and entertaining, and looks better at year ten than year one. Done wrong, it cracks, ponds water, and looks tired in a few seasons.
We pour patios at every scale: a 12×12 small entertaining slab off a back door, a 16×20 family-sized patio with built-in fire pit footing, a 24×30 multi-zone outdoor living space, or a wraparound patio that integrates with landscape walls. Smooth-finished, stamped with patterns, or decorative with color hardeners and stains. Every patio we pour is designed to drain away from the house and to last decades.
From concept to cure. — weather permitting.
Design conversation
We talk through size, location, drainage direction, finish, and how the patio will integrate with the house and landscape. Sketches and pricing come together.
Site prep & forms
Excavate to depth, compact a gravel base, set forms following the layout. Slope is set away from the house (typical 1/4″ per foot drop).
Pour & finish
Reinforcement laid per spec. Concrete poured and finished in a single day, to your selected style (broom, smooth, stamped, etc.).
Joints, cure & seal
Saw-cut control joints placed by hand to control where cracks happen. We walk you through the cure window so you know when it’s safe to use. Sealer applied at full cure — Leo recommends resealing every 2 years.
Patios that last decades — start with the prep.
Drainage done right
Every patio slopes away from the house at 1/4″ per foot. Water shouldn’t pond on the surface or run toward the foundation. We design for it before pouring.
Control joints, not random cracks
Saw-cut control joints placed strategically guide cracking out of sight. Most homeowners can’t find the joints unless they look for them, and they never see a structural crack.
Coordinated with landscaping
We protect existing landscaping during prep and pour. Patio edges integrate with planting beds, retaining walls, or pool surrounds based on the property’s layout.
Sealed for the long term
After full cure, the patio gets a sealer that preserves color and resists stains. Leo recommends resealing every 2 years to keep it looking new.
Concrete patio questions. — the ones we hear most.
01 How much does a concrete patio cost in Northern Virginia?
A standard 16×20 broom-finished patio is in one cost range; a custom stamped patio of the same size runs significantly higher. Pricing depends on size, finish, access, and any add-ons (fire pit footings, integrated walls, drainage work). We give a real estimate after a quick site walk or based on photos and dimensions.
02 Will my patio crack?
There’s a saying in the concrete trade: there are two types of concrete — concrete that has cracked, and concrete that hasn’t cracked yet. All concrete cracks eventually. Our job is to control where: we compact the base properly, reinforce the slab, and place control joints by hand so cracks happen on planned lines instead of random splits. Most patios crack only along these joints, where it’s nearly invisible. Our 1-year limited workmanship warranty covers structural cracks that meet the size/length thresholds — see full warranty terms.
03 Smooth vs. stamped — which should I choose?
Smooth-finished (broom or hand-troweled) is the timeless choice: lower cost, easier maintenance, neutral look that works with any landscape. Stamped is the design upgrade: looks like stone or brick, costs more, requires re-sealing on a regular schedule for color depth. Both last decades when done right. We’re happy to compare on your estimate.
04 Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Loudoun County?
Most concrete patios at grade (not raised) don’t require a permit in Loudoun or Fairfax counties as long as they’re under a certain size and don’t connect to the house structurally. Raised patios, patios with built-in features (fire pits, walls), or patios in HOA communities may require permits or HOA approval. We help navigate it.
05 Concrete vs. pavers for a patio — what’s better?
Concrete: single integrated surface, no weeds between joints, easier to clean, longer maintenance intervals. Pavers: easier to repair individual sections, more color/style variety, individual units can be lifted and re-set. Stamped concrete bridges the visual gap with paver-like patterns at concrete cost. For most NoVA homes we pour for, concrete wins on long-term value.

Most patios start with a conversation about how you want to use the space. We can talk through it on the phone or schedule a site walk — whatever works.
