Patios.
Concrete patios for Eastern Iowa backyards. Broom, smooth, exposed aggregate, or stamped. We size, form, and pour it to fit the yard — not the other way around.

FAQHomeowner Questions
Straight Answers.
- How big should my patio be?
- For a table and four chairs, plan on 12'×12' minimum. Grill and a couple loungers, closer to 16'×16'. We walk it with you before we form.
- Can you match the color of my house?
- For plain concrete, no — it's gray. For stamped or integral-color pours, we can pick a tone that reads with your siding or brick.
- How thick is a patio slab?
- 4″ with rebar for residential patios. Heavier if you're planning a hot tub or a big pergola — we spec it against the load.
