Concrete Patios

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio

Your backyard should be a place where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the California weather. A concrete patio gives you that space without the constant maintenance that wood decks demand. Unlike wood, concrete will not rot, warp, or splinter. It stands up to Colton's hot summers and occasional rain without losing its strength or appearance.

Concrete patios also offer incredible versatility. You can choose from a stamped finish that mimics natural stone, a smooth modern look, or even add color to match your home. The options let you create something that feels custom-made for your property.

When properly installed with the right base preparation and drainage, your concrete patio will last for decades. That is a smart investment in your home and outdoor lifestyle.

What Makes a Great Patio

A patio is more than just a slab of concrete in your backyard. The best patios start with proper planning and preparation. Here is what we focus on to make sure yours turns out right:

• •Proper grading and drainage: Water needs somewhere to go. We slope your patio away from your home to prevent pooling and foundation issues.
• •Solid base compaction: The ground underneath needs to be stable. We compact the soil and add gravel base to prevent settling and cracking.
• •Right thickness for your use: A standard patio needs at least 4 inches of concrete. If you plan to put heavy furniture or a hot tub on it, we go thicker.
• •Control joints: These planned cuts help manage where cracks form as concrete naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes.
• •Sealed surface: A quality sealer protects your patio from stains, moisture, and UV damage while making it easier to clean.

How We Build Your Patio

When you work with SturdyLine Colton Concrete, we walk you through each step so you know exactly what to expect. First, we meet with you to talk about the size, shape, and style you want. We measure your space and look at how water currently drains so we can plan the right slope.

Next, we prepare the site by excavating to the proper depth, installing forms to shape the patio, and building a compacted base. This is the most important part because a weak base leads to problems later. We take our time here to get it right.

On pour day, we bring in fresh concrete mixed to the right specifications. Our crew spreads, levels, and finishes the surface to your chosen texture. If you want decorative stamping or color, we apply those while the concrete is still workable.

After the pour, we protect the concrete while it cures. This takes several days, and we make sure it stays moist and covered so it reaches full strength. Once cured, we seal it to lock in the finish and protect it from the elements. You are left with a beautiful, functional outdoor space ready to enjoy.
