Service overview
Concrete Patio Installation services in Orlando
Patio installation begins with confirming the layout and finished elevation, usually slightly below the door threshold and sloped away from the house. Sod and organic soil are removed, the subgrade is compacted and forms are set.
Backyard access is often the biggest planning question. Concrete may be delivered by wheelbarrow, buggy or pump depending on gate width, fences and distance from the street. We look at access during the estimate so the plan fits your property.
After pouring, the slab is finished to the selected texture, control joints are placed and the concrete is cured. Light foot traffic is generally fine after a day or two; heavy items should wait longer.
Benefits & options
Concrete Patio Installation options & benefits
Access planning
Narrow gates, fences and pools affect how concrete reaches the backyard. A concrete pump may be recommended to protect landscaping.
Elevation and slope
The patio surface is set below interior floors and sloped so water drains away from the house.
Subgrade and forms
Compacted subgrade and straight, braced forms help create a level, durable slab.
Reinforcement and thickened edges
Reinforcement and thicker edges are used where furniture, structures or enclosures will sit.
Finishing and curing
The finish is applied while concrete is workable, then the slab is cured to reduce surface cracking in the heat.

Sandy soil compacts well with the right equipment but can wash out at edges without proper preparation.
