Unlike pavers that shift and settle or wood decks that rot and require constant maintenance, a properly poured concrete patio holds its shape, resists weathering, and requires almost no maintenance beyond occasional sealing. It's also one of the best returns on investment for Baltimore homeowners looking to add usable outdoor living space.
We design patios with proper drainage slopes so water doesn't pool on the surface or drain toward your foundation, and we offer a variety of finishes to match your home's aesthetic.
Patio Finish Options
Broom Finish
The most common residential finish — a light texture brushed across the surface provides excellent slip resistance and a clean, classic look.
Exposed Aggregate
The top layer of cement paste is washed away to reveal the stone aggregate beneath, creating a decorative, textured surface with excellent traction.
Smooth Trowel Finish
A polished, smooth surface for a modern aesthetic — commonly chosen for covered patios and outdoor rooms.
Stamped Concrete
Patterns and textures impressed into fresh concrete can mimic stone, brick, or slate — a decorative option at a fraction of the cost of natural materials.
Colored Concrete
Integral color added to the concrete mix produces a uniform color throughout the slab — not just a surface coating that can chip or fade.
FAQs
How thick should a concrete patio be?
A minimum of 4 inches for pedestrian use. We recommend 4–5 inches for most residential patios.
How long does patio installation take?
Most patio pours are completed in one day. The concrete needs 24–48 hours before foot traffic and reaches full strength at 28 days.
Will my patio crack?
Control joints are cut into the slab to direct any cracking to predetermined lines where it won't be visible or problematic. Properly installed concrete patios maintain their appearance for decades.
Can you pour a patio against my house?
Yes, though we ensure proper slope away from the foundation and leave a small expansion gap where the patio meets the house.
