Elevate Your Outdoor Space with a Custom Concrete Patio in Tennessee

We Can Pour New Patios and Repair Existing Ones

Want to give your backyard an inviting and cozy ambiance? A new or expanded concrete patio is a major step towards your dream backyard. They provide a stable foundation for your patio furniture or outdoor kitchen, are inexpensive, and glance on-trend thanks to their industrial appearance.

Don't be afraid to be bold when you are thinking of concrete patio ideas. If you're looking beyond the traditional smooth or brushed finish, there are many stamped concrete patio ideas, from simple, plain ones to more fancy ones with intricate designs.

Concrete is an excellent option for low-maintenance decorative patio designs. It only requires a good scrub now and then to look its finest, and a fresh coat of inexpensive sealant every few years will help it endure longer.

When planning your concrete patio, you should keep a few things in mind. What kind of look do you want, how big is your backyard, and are there any structures that might need to be added to your plan? If you want a patio in Gallatin and are having trouble getting started, we can help you talk through options before we begin the installation of a beautiful, new, custom concrete patio to enhance your backyard space.

Upgrade to Concrete for All-Year Comfort

Concrete is the ultimate patio material, offering unrivaled utility beyond looks. Unlike pebbles or loose gravel, which scatters and requires regular attention, our concrete patios are stable and require little upkeep throughout the seasons.

Say goodbye to the stress of shoveling gravel back into place after a huge down pour; with concrete, you get a long-lasting surface that stays put, and makes for an easy process when needing to rake or blow leaves or shovel a light snow. Additionally, there is no need to be concerned about dogs and children causing havoc by scattering pebbles around when they play. Invest in concrete's durability and ease of use - the wise choice for a trouble-free and resilient outdoor environment!

Outdoor grill stations can look great when made of cement. We can install built-in seats around an outdoor table or fire pit and a grill island, which is both stylish and practical. You could also buy outdoor furniture made of concrete to carry the idea even further.

Benefits of a Concrete Patio Surface

Concrete's Stylistic Versatility

In addition to its trusted durability, a concrete patio provides a blank canvas for artistic expression in outdoor design. Concrete's adaptability defies traditional perceptions, allowing for various finishes and textures while readily adjusting to varied stylistic choices. Concrete provides the framework for endless personalization, guaranteeing your patio is as distinctive as your particular taste. Because it's easy to spread and pour, it's simple to block off a rectangular area or shape a curved, flowing, more organic space to suit your vision. A small set of steps or a long wrap around edge can be used if your backyard has a slope that needs to be accounted for. We can easily pour large squares to create a custom walkway to your pool or garage. If you find photos of something you like, we can mimic the design and create an equally impressive design for your space.
Longevity

The maintenance of hardwood decks and concrete patios shares numerous similarities. Both require some care and maintenance to enhance the surface material's resistance to damage caused by years of rain, ice, and extreme summer heat.

Before they can be resealed, hardwood decks and concrete patios must be power washed, scrubbed, sanded, or ground until smooth. Both surface types can endure up to 30 years if properly maintained. However, when compared to hardwood decks, applying sealant on concrete is far simpler, plus the age of concrete tends to show weather far less than wood in the second half of its life span.
Versatility

Concrete builders meticulously plan joints in the concrete slab before pouring it to enhance its endurance. These are usually the lines that you see in home driveways and sidewalks. The lines help to provide relief and deter cracks from forming. There are choices (such as steel rebar) for reinforcing concrete in geographic places where soil composition makes for a poor foundation or when intense weather threatens the concrete's integrity. For our services, we tend to use fiber in the concrete mix which serve the same purpose.

Different Finish Types for Concrete Patios

Patios are a great addition to any backyard and are one of the most popular outdoor remodeling projects for homes. As you plan your new patio, one of the most important things you need to consider is how you want the finish to look.

Trowel Finish

This is created when the worker uses a trowel to achieve a flawless surface, leveling and smoothing the concrete after pouring. This traditional touch not only improves the visual attractiveness of the patio but also assures a long-lasting and elegant finish.

As your specialized concrete contractore, we bring accuracy and skill to every project. Providing a smooth trowel finish is one of the most common requests and is a tribute to exceptional craftsmanship.
Broom and Brushed

Using a brush or flat broom to go over the surface of the concrete is one of the alternative ways to give it a subtle style. This also creates a gentle texture and can be further styled by adding a smooth perimeter around the outside creating frame around the broomed concrete area. Besides the visual look, one advantage of going with brushed concrete on a patio is that when water is present, there is a bit of slip-resistance created by the texture.

With extra attention, when we brush concrete, we can make different effects, like soft, subtle textures, parallel rows of lines, or unique patterns. This is acheived by the finisher either standing on their feet using a long-handled broom or working on their knees with a short-handled brush. The words ""broomed"" and ""brushed"" are often used interchangably.
Stamped Concrete

This is a process that uses rubber mats to imprint appealing designs into the surface before it dries. Stamped concrete can resemble natural stone, brick, tile, pavers, wood grain, or other natural outdoor patterns, and will convert an inexpensive concrete pour into a masterpiece that resembles something far and beyond concrete. Don't want the same gray tone you have in your driveway? We can fix that by skillfully coloring the concrete and embellishing the stamped design for a unique and attractive finish.

Patterened concrete patio designs create an attractive design, add texture, and give a beautiful finish to an area where you'll love entertaining or relaxing. If the surface gets too dirty, you can power wash the patio yourself or hire someone to do this, and it will look as good as new. No need to worry about damaging the surface.
Aggregate

Other common choices in Nashville neighborhoods are pebble stone and exposed aggregate concrete. These options can cost slightly more than traditional concrete and they look different too. They offer a distinct texture and visual appeal to your patio or any location, transforming it into a space that takes on a different feel. Color variations are ever-present in this material but an overal color can be chosen for your project. Within the material is a broad range of particulate such as gravel, stone, sometimes sand and recycled concrete that has been crushed into all different sizes.
