Design and finish options
Concrete patios aren't just gray slabs anymore. Stamped concrete can mimic the look of natural stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost. Exposed aggregate gives you a textured, non-slip surface with a natural stone appearance. Broom finish is the most affordable and provides solid traction when wet. We can also do colored concrete with integral pigments or acid staining for a completely custom look. The shape is up to you. straight edges, curves, multiple levels, or integrated with an existing structure.
How the process works
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss your vision, and check drainage patterns. Then we provide a detailed quote. Once approved, we handle the site prep. excavation, grading, compaction, and form setting. The pour usually takes one day. Finishing (stamping, brooming, or exposing aggregate) happens while the concrete is still workable. We apply curing compound and the patio is typically ready for furniture in 3-5 days and full use in 7 days.
Typical patio costs
A standard broom-finish patio in the Lake Norman area runs roughly $8 to $12 per square foot. Stamped concrete runs $12 to $20 per square foot depending on the pattern and color complexity. A typical 300-square-foot patio comes in between $2,400 and $6,000. We break every quote down by materials, labor, and finish so you see exactly where the money goes.
