A Backyard Patio Your Family Will Actually Use
A cracked or muddy backyard is a hard place to relax. Water pools where it should not, and the old slab shifts a little more each winter. We build concrete patios in Akron that sit flat, drain away from the house, and hold steady through Ohio frost. If your driveway needs the same care, our concrete driveways crew handles that too. One call gets you a plan for the whole yard.
Good concrete starts under the surface. We dig out the soft soil, add a base of crushed stone, and pack it down so the ground cannot sink. Steel or fiber goes in for strength, and we place control joints so the slab cracks where we want, not where you can see it. Then we pour, screed it level, and finish the top the way you picked. Every step is done by our own crew, not passed off.
- A compacted stone base that keeps the slab from sinking or heaving
- Control joints placed to guide cracks away from plain view
- Slopes graded so rain runs off and never pools by your door
- Steel or fiber mixed in to add strength for Ohio winters
- One local crew from the first call to the final broom finish
We live and work around Akron, so we know how Summit County ground moves. Clay soil holds water, and a wet winter can lift a slab that was poured on the cheap. Our crews build for that from the base up, in Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Barberton, and Stow as well. When you call, you talk to the people who will be standing in your yard, not a phone bank. We answer, we show up, and we tell you straight what the job needs.
Ready to trade the mud for a patio you can host on? Call our Akron crew and we will walk the yard with you. We will lay out the plan, the timing, and the finish before any concrete is mixed.
