Concrete Patio Contractor in Sacramento, CA

A concrete patio gives your backyard a solid place to relax, cook, and spend time with family. In Sacramento, the summer heat is intense, the soil shifts with the seasons, and not every contractor builds with that in mind. We do.
We work in Sacramento neighborhoods every week from Land Park to Natomas to Rancho Cordova. Before we pour anything, we check the ground, plan for drainage, and choose the right finish for your space. That means your patio holds up year after year, not just for the first season.

Patio Surfaces and Finish Choices

The finish on a concrete patio changes how it looks, how it feels underfoot, and how long it lasts. This section covers all the surface options we offer. Each one works well in Sacramento’s climate, but some are better for certain situations than others. We’ll help you pick the right one for your yard.

Stamped Concrete Patio

Stamped concrete looks like stone, brick, or wood but it costs far less. We press a pattern into the wet concrete before it dries. Also, we add color so the finished surface matches your home. This is the most popular option we install in Sacramento.

Broom Finish Concrete Patio

A broom finish is simple and practical. Right after the concrete is poured, we drag a broom across it to create small ridges. This means the surface grips your feet when it's wet. It works great for families with kids or older adults who need a safer surface.

Exposed Aggregate Patio

This finish shows the stones and gravel inside the concrete. We wash away the top layer of cement paste before it fully sets. Next, the natural rocks are left showing on the surface. You get a rough, natural look that holds up well in yards with heavy foot traffic.

Colored Concrete Patio

Color can be mixed directly into the concrete before we pour it. Also, we can apply a stain or dye after the slab cures. This means you can match the patio to your home's color or choose something that stands out. Colors stay deeper and last longer when the patio is sealed properly.

Salt Finish Patio

A salt finish has a light, pitted texture. We press coarse salt into the wet concrete, then wash it away once the concrete firms up. The small holes left behind give the surface a clean, modern look. This works best for covered patios or outdoor bar areas that stay dry.

Flagstone-Look Concrete Patio

You get the look of real flagstone without the maintenance. We stamp an irregular stone pattern into the concrete before it sets. Also, we add color to make each "stone" section look natural. This is a smart choice for older Sacramento neighborhoods where real stone would look right at home.

We apply ASTM C309 Type 1-D curing compound right after stamping to hold the pattern and stop the surface from drying too fast in Sacramento’s dry heat. Next, we check the pattern depth and spacing using a stamping mat alignment guide rail before adding any color hardener. All finishes we install follow Sacramento County Building Division grading and drainage standards under CRC Section R401.3, which requires the slab surface to slope away from the home’s foundation by at least 2% over the first 10 feet.

Concrete Patio Repair and Restoration

Older patios crack, sink, and stain over time. That does not always mean the slab needs to come out. This section explains how we assess the damage and fix it without a full replacement. Most repair jobs cost far less than a new pour and they can add many years to a patio’s life.

Crack Repair

Cracks in Sacramento patios are usually caused by clay soil swelling in winter and shrinking in summer. Not all cracks are serious. Some are just surface lines. Others go all the way through. We look at the width, depth, and pattern of the crack before we decide how to fix it.

Patio Resurfacing and Overlay

A worn or faded patio surface can be refreshed without breaking out the slab. We apply a new thin layer of material over the top and add texture or color. Also, the surface can be stamped or stained after the overlay goes down. This is a popular option for Sacramento landlords and investors who need to improve curb appeal quickly.

Slab Lifting and Mudjacking

When a section of patio sinks lower than the rest, it creates a trip hazard. Mudjacking fixes this by pumping a slurry mix under the slab to push it back up. Next, the surface is sealed so water does not wash the fill material away again. This costs far less than tearing out and replacing the sunken section.

Expansion Joint Repair

Control joints are the grooves cut into a patio that guide cracking. Over time, the material that fills those joints breaks down. When that happens, cracks spread in unplanned directions. We re-cut the joints, clean them out, and fill them with new flexible joint sealant. This is especially important for older patios in Rancho Cordova and Carmichael.

Spalling and Surface Scaling Repair

When the top layer of concrete flakes or pits, it is called spalling. This is often caused by de-icing salts or a hard freeze. Also, Sacramento patios that were never sealed tend to spall faster than sealed ones. We repair these surfaces with a bonding overlay that restores a smooth, solid finish.

Uneven Slab Leveling

A slab that sits at two different heights is a safety problem. We use grinding to fix small height differences between slab sections. For larger drops, we use mudjacking to lift the low section back to grade. Either way, the result is a flat, safe walking surface.

We measure every crack using a Delphin crack width measurement gauge. Cracks wider than 0.3mm in Sacramento often mean the soil is still moving, not just settling from the past. This matters because the repair method is different depending on whether the crack is active or old. For cracks that go all the way through, we use two-component epoxy crack injection resin that meets ASTM C881 Type IV, Grade 3 bond strength requirements. This resin bonds the two sides of the crack back together with strength that matches the original concrete. All structural repairs we perform follow California Building Code Section 1901.3, which requires repair materials to match the compressive and bond strength of the original concrete mix.

How It Works From First Call to Finished Patio

Call or Message Us

You reach out by phone, text, or contact form. You do not need a plan ready. Just tell us what you think about a new patio, a repair, or a question about cost. We will take it from there.

We Come to Your Property

We schedule a site visit at a time that works for you. We show up on time. Also, we bring the right eyes to look at the ground, the slope, the drainage, and the space around the project area. This visit is free and takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

We Send You a Written Estimate

After the visit, we put together a written, itemized estimate. You see the cost of materials, labor, and any site prep work listed out clearly. Next, we send it to you within one to two business days. If anything on the estimate is unclear, we answer your questions before you decide.

We Pull Any Required Permits

If your project needs a permit covered patios, outdoor kitchens with gas lines, or raised structures are common examples we handle the application. Also, we coordinate the inspection schedule so you do not have to track it yourself.

We Prepare the Ground

Before any concrete goes down, we dig out the area, compact the soil, and lay a gravel base. This step takes longer than the pour itself. Also, it is the step that most determines how long your patio lasts. We do not rush it.

We Pour and Finish the Concrete

On pour day, we set the forms, place the reinforcing steel, and bring in the concrete. Next, we spread, screed, and finish the surface to the style you chose: stamped, broom-finish, exposed aggregate, or another option. We cut control joints in the right places before the slab fully sets.

Cure Time and Final Walkthrough

Fresh concrete needs time to reach full strength. We give you a clear timeline usually 24 to 48 hours before light foot traffic, and 28 days before sealing. Next, once the slab is ready, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything looks right. Also, we leave you with a care sheet so you know how to maintain the surface going forward.

We Seal the Surface

After the 28-day cure period, we come back to apply the right sealer for your finish type. This protects your patio from Sacramento's UV exposure, winter moisture, and everyday staining. Also, we let you know when to schedule your first re-seal, usually two to three years out.

Let's Get Started on Your Patio

You do not need a big plan to call us. Tell us what you are thinking about a small backyard slab, a full outdoor living setup, or a repair on an old patio. We will come out, look at the space, and give you a clear written quote.

Questions We Hear All the Time

What does a concrete patio cost in Sacramento?
A standard broom-finish patio runs between $8 and $20 per square foot. Stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate finishes usually run between $15 and $30 per square foot. Also, Sacramento’s clay soil sometimes needs extra prep work, which we include in your quote. Call us for a free estimate specific to your yard size and finish choice.
A well-built, sealed, and maintained concrete patio in Sacramento can last 25 to 50 years. Sealing every two to three years and fixing small cracks early makes a big difference. Patios that are never sealed or never have proper control joints tend to break down much faster.
It can but it does not have to. The clay under Sacramento yards swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement stresses any slab from below. Next, a patio built on a properly compacted base with correct control joints and steel reinforcement handles that movement without random cracking. We designed it from the start.
Most basic patio slabs do not need a permit. However, covered patios, raised structures, outdoor kitchens with gas lines, and retaining walls usually do. We check your project’s permit needs during your estimate and handle the application if one is required.
You can walk on new concrete after about 24 to 48 hours. For furniture, you should wait at least 7 days. Full cure when the concrete reaches its full strength takes 28 days. We wait until the 28-day mark before applying a sealer. We leave you with a care sheet so you know the exact timeline.
Both are solid choices. Stamped concrete is one solid slab, so it has no joints for weeds to grow through and fewer places for water to settle. Pavers let you replace individual pieces if one breaks, but Sacramento’s clay soil can cause individual pavers to shift and separate at the joints over time. For most Sacramento homeowners, stamped concrete costs less to install and less to maintain over the long run.
