Concrete Patios

Create the outdoor living space you have always wanted with a custom concrete patio built for the Arizona lifestyle.

Build Your Perfect Outdoor Space

In Sun Lakes, your patio is an extension of your living room. The mild winters and warm evenings make outdoor entertaining a year-round activity. A well-built concrete patio gives you a durable, low-maintenance surface that looks beautiful and handles the desert climate without fading, cracking, or deteriorating.

Concrete gives you more design flexibility than most homeowners realize. You are not limited to a plain gray slab. With stamped patterns, integral color, acid stains, and textured finishes, your patio can look like natural stone, tile, or brick at a fraction of the cost. Every patio we build is custom designed to fit your space, your style, and your budget.

At Sun Lakes Concrete Expert, we handle every step from layout and grading to pouring and finishing. Whether you need a simple patio extension or a full outdoor entertainment area with built-in seating and fire pit pads, we deliver results that last.

Patio Design Options

Stamped Concrete Patios

Stamped concrete is the most popular decorative option for patios. We press patterns into the wet concrete that replicate the look of flagstone, slate, cobblestone, or tile. Combined with color hardeners and antiquing release agents, the result is a surface that looks like premium natural materials. See all of our stamped and decorative concrete options.

Stained and Colored Patios

Acid stains create rich, variegated color with a natural look that is unique to every slab. Integral color provides consistent tones throughout the concrete. We frequently combine staining with scoring or saw-cut patterns to create the appearance of individual tiles or stones without the grout lines and maintenance issues.

Broom Finish Patios

A standard broom finish provides excellent traction and a clean, classic appearance. It is the most budget-friendly option and works well for covered patios, side yards, and areas where function is the priority. You can always add a decorative border or color accent to dress it up.

Exposed Aggregate Patios

Exposed aggregate surfaces reveal the natural stones within the concrete mix. The texture adds visual interest and provides a non-slip surface that works well around pool decks and outdoor kitchens. The pebble texture also hides wear and dirt better than smooth finishes.

How We Build Your Patio

Every patio project starts with understanding how you want to use the space. Here is what the process looks like.

Step 1: Design Consultation

We visit your property to discuss your vision, measure the space, and evaluate site conditions. We look at drainage patterns, soil type, existing structures, and access points. You tell us how you plan to use the patio, and we recommend the best size, shape, finish, and layout to make it work.

Step 2: Site Preparation

Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting patio. We excavate the area, grade the soil for proper drainage away from your home, and compact a granular base. In Sun Lakes, the expansive clay soil requires extra attention to prevent heaving and settling. We take the time to get the base right.

Step 3: Pour and Finish

We set forms, install reinforcement, and pour the concrete. Your chosen finish is applied while the concrete is workable. For stamped patios, we apply color hardener, stamp the pattern, and add antiquing release. Control joints are cut to manage cracking. A curing compound protects the surface during the first critical days.
