Concrete Patios
for Buffalo, NY & the Surrounding Areas

When compared to paver patio or brick patios, or wooden decks, concrete patios have a number of benefits. Choose from a wide variety of designs and styles at an affordable price when you design your patio, then enjoy a long-lived addition that hardly requires any maintenance.

• Versatility: Decorative concrete patios come in thousands of color, design, and finish options. They can be designed to emulate brick, stone, or tile; they can also be stamped or scored in solid colors or blended patterns.
• Affordability: The initial cost of a concrete patio is far less than a deck or using paving stones. In addition, you'll save money down the line in terms of upkeep and maintenance cost.
• Longevity: Your concrete patio will need some maintenance work to keep it in good condition and prevent it from breaking down. You'll need to power wash and reseal it every 2-3 years to maintain it against the harsh Buffalo winters. Compare this with a wooden deck, which needs the same treatment every year - and you would need to check for mold, loose or damaged nails and screws, rot, and damaged wood!

A properly installed and designed concrete patio is beautiful, easy to maintain, and affordable. Take proper care of your patio and it will last a lifetime. Allow our concrete contractors to help you bring your vision alive.

When you're designing your new patio, there are several things to keep in mind. If you go into the process thoughtfully and know what you want, you'll wind up with the perfect outdoor living space for your family to enjoy!

Purpose

What will you be using this concrete patio for? Will you be entertaining guests? Preparing small family dinners? Or will you use it just to enjoy the outdoors with a book during a Buffalo summer? Determining whether your patio is going to be a gathering space or a getaway space is the perfect starting point. It will help you decide everything else.

Location

As with any real estate venture, location is an extremely important consideration. Most patios should be built as close to the kitchen as you can manage, to make it a more convenient extension of your dining space. If you're considering a getaway patio, you can get away with installing it in a more remote location in your yard. Walk your property to examine possible views and test vantage points, always keeping in mind existing landscaping and proximity to neighbors.

Size

There's no specific rule as to how big your patio needs to be, but the general rule of thumb is to try to match it to your house's width or to a room inside your house. Don't make the common mistake of underestimating how big your patio should be! Consider how many people you're planning on fitting in the space and then plan accordingly.

Shape

This may be partially determined by your patio's function, size, and location. Decide whether you want a circular patio (perhaps with a fire pit in the center), one with straight edges, or a trendy curved patio. You can choose whether you'd like your patio to be lined up symmetrically or asymmetrically in relation to your home.
