Our Commercial Patio Options
Standard Commercial Patios
Our standard commercial patios feature a smooth, professional finish that provides excellent durability and functionality. Perfect for business owners seeking a clean, classic look that complements any architectural style. We use high-strength concrete mix (minimum 3,500 PSI) with proper reinforcement to ensure structural integrity.
Stamped Commercial Patios
Transform your commercial patio into a work of art with our stamped concrete options. We offer dozens of patterns including brick, stone, slate, wood plank, and custom designs. Stamped concrete provides the aesthetic appeal of expensive materials at a fraction of the cost, while maintaining concrete's superior durability.
Colored Commercial Patios
Add personality to your commercial property with colored concrete commercial patios. We use integral color systems that penetrate throughout the concrete, ensuring the color won't fade or wear away. Choose from earth tones, grays, browns, or custom colors to match your commercial property's exterior.
Exposed Aggregate commercial patios
For a unique, textured appearance, exposed aggregate commercial patios reveal the natural beauty of stones and pebbles in the concrete mix. This finish provides excellent slip resistance and a distinctive look that sets your commercial property apart.
Decorative Borders and Accents
Enhance your commercial patio with decorative borders, medallions, or accent strips. These design elements add visual interest and can be used to define parking areas or create elegant entryways.
Our Comprehensive Installation Process
We follow a meticulous, step-by-step process to ensure your concrete commercial patio installation exceeds expectations:
- Initial Consultation & Site Assessment: We visit your commercial property to assess soil conditions, drainage, slope, and existing structures. We discuss your needs, preferences, and budget to create a customized plan.
- Design & Planning: Our team creates detailed plans including dimensions, thickness specifications (typically 4-6 inches), reinforcement requirements, and finish options. We obtain necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building codes.
- Site Preparation: We excavate to the proper depth (typically 6-8 inches), remove existing materials, and grade the area to ensure proper drainage away from your commercial property. We install a compacted base layer of gravel (4-6 inches) for stability.
- Formwork Installation: We set up precise forms to define the commercial patio's edges and ensure straight, clean lines. Forms are carefully leveled and braced to prevent shifting during pouring.
- Reinforcement: We install steel rebar or wire mesh reinforcement to prevent cracking and increase load-bearing capacity. This is especially important for commercial patios that will support heavy vehicles.
- Concrete Pouring: We pour high-quality concrete mix (3,500-4,000 PSI) using professional equipment. Our team works efficiently to ensure the concrete is placed before it begins to set.
- Finishing: We screed, float, and trowel the surface to achieve the desired finish. For decorative options, we apply stamps, colors, or textures at this stage.
- Curing: We apply curing compounds and cover the commercial patio to ensure proper hydration. Curing typically takes 7-14 days, during which we monitor the surface.
- Sealing: After curing, we apply a high-quality sealer to protect against stains, moisture, and UV damage. Sealing extends your commercial patio's lifespan and maintains its appearance.
- Final Inspection: We conduct a thorough quality check to ensure the commercial patio meets our high standards and your expectations.
