Patio planning
A good patio starts before the concrete is mixed. Its size, shape, and placement should match how you plan to use the space, whether that means a simple area for chairs and a grill or a larger patio connecting several outdoor features.
We begin with the layout and then plan around drainage, access, and the existing grade. This helps the finished surface feel intentional and fit naturally into the property.
Many patio problems result from rushed preparation. An uneven base can allow the slab to settle. An incorrect slope may cause standing water. A finish selected without considering everyday use can feel slippery, uncomfortable, or difficult to maintain.
Common patio goals
Create a level, comfortable area for tables, chairs, and planters
Add outdoor space for gathering, cooking, or relaxing
Connect existing features such as walkways, steps, and backyard entries
Improve the property’s appearance with a clean, finished surface
Replace an old patio with a layout that better suits the yard
Expand a small slab with a practical patio extension
Patio finish options
Different patios serve different needs. Some homeowners prefer a simple finish that blends into the background, while others want more texture and visual character. We offer several finish options so the result fits both your preferred appearance and how the patio will be used.
01
Broom Finish
A broom finish creates a clean, practical surface with added traction. It is a popular option for patios designed for regular daily use.
02
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete adds pattern and decorative character. It can create a stronger design element for an outdoor entertaining area or backyard retreat.
03
Exposed Aggregate
Exposed aggregate provides a textured surface with visible stone detail. It offers a distinctive appearance that works well with a range of outdoor settings.
Base preparation and drainage
The visible surface is only one part of a patio. What sits beneath the concrete matters just as much. Without a stable base, a slab may shift, settle, or crack unevenly over time.
That is why we pay close attention to excavation, subgrade conditions, compaction, and reinforcement before the pour. The preparation depends on the existing soil, patio dimensions, grade, and intended use.
Drainage is another important consideration. Water should move away from the slab rather than collect on its surface, gather around the edges, or flow toward the house. We plan the patio’s slope around the site so it handles runoff more effectively.
What we evaluate
Ground conditions
To determine how much site and base preparation is needed
Slope and runoff
To help prevent puddles and direct water appropriately
Edge transitions
Where the patio meets the lawn, steps, walkways, or other hardscape
Reinforcement needs
Based on the patio’s dimensions and intended use
Access conditions
To plan how materials and equipment will reach the work area
Finished elevation
So the patio connects cleanly with doors and nearby surfaces
Patio extensions
Replacing an entire patio is not always necessary. An extension can add room for more seating, create a larger gathering area, or improve the connection between the house and yard. It can turn a small slab into a more practical outdoor living space without starting over.
When extending an existing patio, we consider its height, edge details, drainage, and finish. The new section should work with the original layout rather than look or perform like an unrelated addition.
We also consider:
How the existing slab and new concrete will meet
Whether the current patio is stable enough to remain
How the slope should continue across the expanded area
Whether the finish can be matched or complemented
How furniture and foot traffic will move through the space
Repair or replacement
Not every damaged patio needs to be removed, but not every slab is worth patching. Limited cracks, chips, or worn areas may be suitable for repair when the rest of the concrete remains stable.
Replacement may be the better option when the patio has significant settlement, widespread cracking, recurring drainage issues, or a layout that no longer works for the property. Removing the old slab also provides an opportunity to address problems with the base, slope, or elevation before pouring the new concrete.
Signs your patio needs attention
Cracks that continue spreading or appear across several areas
Uneven sections that create trip points
Broken or crumbling slab edges
Settlement where the patio meets steps, doors, or walkways
Surface wear that leaves the patio rough or difficult to use
Puddles that remain after rain
Runoff moving toward the house or another problem area
Typical Steps
How the project works
The patio process should be straightforward, with clear communication from the initial conversation through the pour and finish. Redeye Concrete LLC offers free estimates in person or virtually from photos, making it easier to begin planning.
Once the scope is clear, we discuss the size, location, finish, and site details that may affect the project.

2
Choose the layout and finish
We help you plan patio dimensions and select a finish that works with the home and intended use.
3
Prepare the site
The work area is excavated and prepared with attention to grading, compaction, base conditions, and reinforcement.

Projects Completed
How do I know what patio size fits my yard?
Consider the number of tables, chairs, grills, planters, and walking paths you want on the slab. The patio should provide enough room to move comfortably without overwhelming the yard. Marking the proposed dimensions on the ground can help you visualize the space.
Can a patio be designed around existing features?
Yes. Patios can be planned around doors, steps, walkways, landscaping, and other backyard features. The layout should fit the site rather than forcing the property to fit a standard shape.
What finish works well for everyday use?
A broom finish is a common choice because it offers traction and a clean appearance. Stamped concrete and exposed aggregate are also options when you want more texture or decorative detail.
How important is the base beneath the slab?
The base is essential. A patio is only as stable as the material supporting it. Proper preparation and compaction help limit settlement and support a longer-lasting surface.
Can an existing patio be extended?
Yes. An extension can expand the usable area and improve the layout. The new section should be planned around the existing slab’s condition, height, finish, and drainage pattern.
Can you replace an old patio?
Yes. If the existing concrete is cracked, settled, poorly drained, or no longer fits the yard, it can be removed and replaced with a better-planned surface.
Can I request an estimate using photos?
Yes. We offer virtual estimates from photos as well as in-person estimates. Pictures of the full area, access route, existing grade, and nearby features can help start the conversation.
