Top Reasons to Go with a Concrete Patio
Miami Beach homes benefit from a patio made of concrete because it is very versatile. Concrete resists humidity, can stand up to a hurricane, and will continue to perform well with prolonged sun exposure. In contrast, wood decks tend to deteriorate from rot, and composite decking warps as it ages; however, concrete does not do this and performs consistently in the South Florida coastal environment.
We have constructed over 300 concrete patios in South Florida properties. We design each concrete patio to allow water to drain off, to be resistant to cracking, and to give the look of the concrete patio that the homeowner desires.
Concrete Patio Designs for Every Style
When designing your patio, you need to think about your lifestyle and how it will match your home’s architectural style. We have many ways of doing this.
Modern Minimalist: smooth, clean surfaces with geometric lines
A Natural Stone Look: stamped patterns to mimic flagstone or slate
A Rustic Texture: exposed aggregate, or broom finish for a casual feel
Classic Elegance: traditional designs with borders and accent bands
Custom Creation: custom-created layout to fit your specific space
We create our concrete patio ideas from your idea and make them into an area where you will spend a lot of time.
Concrete Patio Finishes: The Perfect Surface
Your choice of a finish will affect the way your concrete patio looks and functions.
Broom Finish: The classic textured surface offers maximum slip-resistance—making it ideal for pool decks and high-traffic areas.
Smooth Trowel Finish: A smooth troweled surface is an elegant contemporary look with a flat, polished appearance—it’s perfect for today’s modern style.
Exposed Aggregate Finish: This decorative finish shows the exposed aggregate (stones) in the surface, offering a combination of beauty and traction.
Salt Finish: The subtle texture is made when rock salt is scattered on the surface as you finish, offering safe footing without being too heavy with texture.
Stamped Patterns: Stamped patterns allow you to replicate brick, stone, tile, and almost anything else imaginable—you have endless design options!
We will assist you in choosing the best concrete patio finishes based upon aesthetics as well as functional requirements such as slip-resistance and maintenance.
Concrete Patio vs Pavers: The Better Choice
Factors to consider when comparing a concrete patio with pavers:
Surface Condition: A smooth surface is created by pouring concrete; however, the space between each of the pavers provides an area for weeds to grow.
Flexibility in Design: The versatility of concrete allows for limitless shapes and patterns to be created; however, pavers create limitations on how large your design may be due to their individual size.
Maintenance: Once installed, the maintenance required for concrete is relatively low; however, as individual pavers are placed (as opposed to installing a continuous slab), you will be required to periodically level them and perform routine maintenance on the joints.
Speed of Installation: It generally takes less time to pour and finish a concrete slab compared to individually placing all of the pavers that make up your patio.
Cost: Typically, the cost of concrete is lower than pavers, yet the aesthetic value and durability are either equivalent to or greater than that of pavers.
Durability: Both materials have been known to last decades; however, concrete does not experience the shifting and settling that can occur with pavers.
Integrated Design Features
Concrete Patios and Walkways
Concrete patios and walkways create an unbroken link between your outdoor living spaces. Concrete patios and walkways are designed as part of an overall system. This means that the concrete patio and walkway will be connected by matching finishing details, smooth transitions in elevation, and coordinated aesthetic appeal.
Concrete Patio & Steps
Do you have elevation changes on your property? We help you create a seamless transition from one level to another using our concrete patios and steps. The steps we install will be finished to match your concrete patio, but also meet all local building codes regarding safety. Whether it is a single step down or multiple levels, we will integrate the stairs into your concrete patio.
Concrete Patio & Fire Pit
Would you like to extend your outdoor living season? A concrete patio and fire pit combination can provide years of enjoyment outside during the colder months. We can pour custom fire pits directly into your concrete patio or create separate fire pit areas using coordinating concrete. We can install either gas-burning or wood-burning fire pits and ensure all necessary clearances and safety measures are met.
Concrete Patio & Retaining Walls
Are you trying to utilize every bit of your property due to sloping terrain? Consider combining your concrete patio installation and retaining wall installation to make the most of your outdoor space. We can design retaining walls that support your concrete patio as well as add visual interest. We can stamp the face of the retaining wall to match your patio finish, or use a contrasting finish to create an interesting contrast.
