Home Concrete Patios for Your Backyard
Request your patio estimate
Say you step out the back door and see bare dirt, a hose reel and a tilted plastic chair. A concrete patio can turn that corner into a place to eat, sit and unwind. It is firm, flat and built for daily use, even through dry spells, winter rain events and smoky weeks.
Outstandingvalue Concrete is a referral service. We do not pour or finish concrete. We connect homeowners in the Loomis area with independent local providers who handle the work. You share a few details, a provider reviews them, and you decide what to do next. This page walks through sizing, finishes, drainage, and the care that keeps a new patio sound long after the pour.
Thinking About a New Patio?
Say you stand at the back door with a warm drink. The yard is patchy grass and a hose. You picture chairs, a grill and maybe string lights. A concrete patio can make that picture real.
This page is about new patios only. Outstandingvalue Concrete is a referral service, and providers do the work. We simply help you reach independent local pros.
Why Concrete Often Wins Out Back
Concrete is firm and steady under tables and chairs. It handles long dry stretches, winter rain events and the odd smoky week without fuss. Near the coast, mild temperatures mean fewer frost worries, so a well-built slab can stay quiet for years.
A Natural Fit for Older Homes
Many stucco ranch homes, bungalows and 1950s to 1980s tract homes have a small back step and a flat yard. A slab set at the right height can meet that step neatly and give the whole yard a clear purpose.
What a New Patio Project Includes
Most jobs follow the same path. A provider marks the area, removes sod and sets a compacted gravel base. Forms go up, steel or mesh goes in, and the concrete is placed and finished. Cut joints and curing come last.
Flatwork Is More Than Pouring
Good concrete flatwork is mostly prep. The base, the slope and the joint plan decide how the patio looks in five years. Ask a provider to walk you through each step before the day of the pour.
Sizing Your Patio
Say you set a table and four chairs on the lawn. Now pull the chairs back as if people are sitting. That ring shows the space you really need. Many dining areas land near twelve by twelve feet.
Leave Room to Move
Add space for a grill, a walking path and a spot where chairs can slide out. A patio that feels roomy on paper often feels tight once furniture arrives, so measure with real items.
Thickness and Base
Four inches is common for foot traffic. Heavier loads, like a hot tub, need a stronger plan. Ask each provider what base and thickness they propose, and why.
Finish Options
Broom Finish
Light lines across the surface give grip when wet. It is simple, practical and easy to keep clean.
Stamped Concrete Patios
Stamped concrete patios press patterns into fresh concrete to echo stone, brick or wood. Color can go in the mix or on the surface. Ask to see a sample board in daylight before you choose.
Smooth or Exposed Aggregate
Smooth trowel looks sleek but can feel slick when wet. Exposed aggregate shows small stones and grips better. Pick the look that suits how you will use the space.
Drainage and Your Foundation
Say a winter rain event rolls in. Water streams off the slab and settles along the house wall. That is the scene to avoid. A patio should slope gently away from the house. A common rule is about a quarter inch per foot, but ask the provider what fits your yard.
When You Already See Cracks
If stucco is cracking or a door sticks, talk to foundation repair experts before pouring next to the wall. That is a different trade, and a new patio will not fix it. Sort out the cause first.
Where Roof Water Goes
Point downspouts away from the slab. Leave a small gap, filled with flexible material, where the patio meets the house. This helps the slab move without pushing on the wall.
Choosing a Concrete Provider
Before you say yes, gather two or three written quotes. Compare the same things side by side:
- Slab size, thickness and finish
- Base material and prep steps
- Joint layout and slope plan
- Removal of old material, if any
- Proof of any license or insurance your area requires

Plan Past the Pour: Caring for Your New Patio
A fresh slab is only the start. Protect what you pour, and it will repay you for years.
The First Week
Keep pets, bikes and furniture off until the provider says it is safe. Fresh concrete needs time to cure. Light foot traffic comes first, heavy items later.
Sealing and Washing
Many providers suggest a sealer after the surface has cured. Stamped surfaces often need resealing every few years. After smoky weeks, rinse off ash gently with water and a soft broom.
Small Cracks and Edges
Hairline cracks can appear on any slab. Watch them. If one widens or the slab tilts, ask a provider to look. Keep soil and mulch from piling against the edges so water keeps moving away.
What's Included
Site Layout and Prep
A provider marks the area, clears sod and sets a compacted gravel base before any concrete arrives.
Forms, Steel and Pour
Forms shape the edges, steel adds strength, and the concrete is placed and leveled by hand.
Finish and Joints
Surfaces are broomed, troweled or stamped, then cut with joints to guide cracking.
Curing and Cleanup
The slab cures under care while the provider clears forms and leftover material.

FAQ
Home Concrete Patios FAQ
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Four inches is common for a patio that holds people and furniture. Heavier items like hot tubs or large grills may need extra thickness or steel. Ask each provider to explain the plan in their written quote.
How long before I can use a new concrete patio?
Foot traffic is often fine after a few days, but heavy furniture usually waits longer. Curing takes weeks to finish. Your provider will give timing based on the mix and weather.
Do stamped concrete patios need sealing?
Most stamped surfaces benefit from sealer, since it protects color and helps shed stains. Many need resealing every few years. Ask your provider which product they use and how often to reapply.
