Concrete Patios in Quincy, MA
Why Choose a Concrete Patio?
Quincy area residents may be able to benefit from using a concrete patio due to its advantages over other outdoor spaces. Concrete is resistant to extreme weather conditions, such as hot summers, freezing winters, and the thawing/freezing cycle in between. In contrast to a wooden deck, concrete does not decay, buckle, or need to be stained each year. Pavers may shift and have weeds grow through their gaps; however, when properly installed, concrete creates one smooth, consistent surface.
With the ability to form almost any shape or size, concrete patio contractors are able to build your outdoor space to meet your specific needs. The finishing options available for a concrete patio include simple broom-textured finishes to elaborate stamped finishes. Color can be added to a patio, borders integrated into it, or different textures combined to achieve a unique design that reflects your individuality. If properly installed and maintained with minimal upkeep, a concrete patio will provide years of enjoyment.

Concrete Patio Designs
Your concrete patio design should complement your home and meet your functional needs. We work with you to create spaces that work:
Entertainment Spaces: Large, open spaces for family gathering with a direct link to your kitchen & interior living space(s).
Outdoor Dining Areas: Patio spaces, either covered or uncovered, based on your choice of size to fit your outdoor furniture and dining setup.
Multi-Level Patios: The use of concrete patio steps to bridge gaps in elevation and define specific spaces/areas.
Pool Deck Spaces: Slip-resistant concrete surfaces used in the area surrounding your pool to withstand both water and barefoot conditions.
Concrete Patio Finishes
The finish you choose affects both appearance and function:
Concrete Patio Broom Finish: A broom finish on a concrete patio is an excellent traction surface for all types of weather conditions. It has just enough texture to hide small imperfections, but it still gives a clean, classic look.
Concrete Patio Smooth Trowel Finish: If you are looking for a sleek and modern appearance, a smooth trowel finish would be suitable for a covered area or a modern design.
Concrete Patio Exposed Aggregate Finish: The exposed aggregate finish of a concrete patio shows the stone from the aggregate in the concrete and creates natural texture and interesting visuals.
Concrete Patio Stamped Pattern Finish: Create the look of stone, brick, or tile with stamped patterns. We will also discuss concrete patio vs stamped concrete options so you can make a decision as to which option is right for you.
Concrete Patio Colored Finish: Use integral colors to add color to your concrete patio, or use stains to create a one-of-a-kind colored finish that complements your home’s exterior.
Concrete Patio Ideas and Features
Concrete Patios and Walkways
Concrete walkways, along with patios, provide an opportunity to make one area of your yard flow into another area. When we design your concrete patio and walkways, they are designed together as a whole; this allows us to create a cohesive look between all areas of your yard. A walkway can go from your patio to your garden, pool, or any other part of your yard that you would like to have a path, which makes it easier to get around your yard and creates a cohesive landscape design.
Concrete Patio and Steps
Yards with a slope require careful thought when deciding how to build your patio. We will install a concrete patio stairway that is safe to use and provides the visual appeal you desire. Stairs can be built so wide and gradual for easy access to your patio or have landings at different points for large grade changes. Your stairs can also match the finish of your patio to give your patio a clean, finished look.
Concrete Patio and Fire Pit
Create a new way to spend time outdoors by combining a concrete patio and a fire pit. We can design your fire pit as a part of your patio, or we can design a specific fire pit area that has seating for people to gather and watch the fire. With a concrete patio and fire pit, you will now be able to spend time outdoors throughout the year, even in cool Massachusetts weather.
Concrete Patio and Retaining Wall
If you live on a property with steeply sloping ground, you may find yourself wondering how you will be able to utilize the space in your yard. A concrete patio and retaining wall system is the answer to that question. A retaining wall will allow you to retain some of the soil in your yard, allowing you to create a flat area in your yard for a patio. Our company will design the retaining wall to work with the drainage requirements of your yard and will add visual interest to your yard. We will be happy to include seating, planters, or lighting in your retaining wall design.
Concrete Patio Pergola
Are you planning to add some shade to your yard? If you are going to be building a pergola over your concrete patio, why not think ahead and have us design your concrete patio foundation with your pergola in mind? By doing this, we will be able to embed our footing into the slab (if necessary) or next to the slab, and this will help to keep your pergola stable and secure. We believe that by thinking ahead and designing your pergola’s foundation at the same time as your concrete patio, we will save you money and avoid the disruption of having to come back to your yard to install additional support for your pergola.
Concrete Patio Extension
Do you need additional outdoor living space? A concrete patio extension is a way to expand upon what you currently have and will allow you to enjoy your existing patio as is, and still provide additional room for your family to use. First, we assess the condition of your current patio in order to design a new patio area that flows from your original patio so it appears as one continuous space. In order to create this seamless look, we ensure that our new patio matches your original finishing materials and colors. Patio extensions can be a great solution if your family has grown since you built your home, and you would like to utilize your yard differently. Or perhaps you are looking for additional outdoor entertaining space to build on your kitchen outdoors with some new outdoor appliances, such as a grill station, pizza oven, etc.
Concrete Patio Makeover and Overlay
You don’t have to replace a worn-out patio; you can easily give it a new look with an overlay technique on your old concrete patio at an economical cost. We will lay down a thin layer of our specialty concrete over your old patio and finish the job with a decorative look that can include stamping, staining, or textured finishes. This overlay technique is much cheaper than replacing your patio and will give your patio a totally new, updated look. For the overlay method to be successful, the existing patio has to be in good structural condition.
