Concrete Patios

Create the Outdoor Living Space You Have Always Wanted

Your backyard should be more than just grass and dirt. A well-designed concrete patio gives you a clean, level space for outdoor dining, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing after a long day. At VistaView Monterey Park Concrete, we build custom concrete patios that fit your lifestyle and budget.

We work with you to design a patio that complements your home and landscape. Whether you want a simple square slab or a multi-level patio with curves and custom features, we have the experience to bring your vision to life. Our team handles everything from design and permits to the final finishing touches.

Concrete patios are one of the most cost-effective ways to add usable outdoor space to your home. They require less maintenance than wood decks, last longer than pavers, and provide a stable surface that will not shift or settle over time. Plus, you can customize the look with stamped patterns, colors, and textures.

Why Homeowners in Monterey Park Choose Concrete Patios

When it comes to outdoor flooring, concrete offers advantages that other materials simply cannot match. Here is why concrete patios are the smart choice:

• Durability: Concrete patios can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. They resist cracking, fading, and weather damage better than wood or composite decking.
• Low maintenance: Unlike wood decks that need yearly staining and sealing, concrete patios need only occasional cleaning and resealing every few years to stay looking great.
• Cost-effective: Concrete costs less than wood decking or natural stone, and the lower maintenance requirements save you money over time.
• Design flexibility: With stamped concrete, you can get the look of brick, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost. Add custom colors and patterns to match your home's style.
• Perfect for California weather: Concrete stays cool in shade and handles intense sun without warping, cracking, or fading like wood does.
• Great for entertaining: A smooth, level concrete surface makes it easy to set up furniture, grills, and fire pits without worrying about uneven ground or shifting pavers.

Patio Design Options to Fit Your Style

Your patio should reflect your personal style and how you plan to use the space. We offer a range of design options to create the perfect outdoor area for your home.

Standard Finish Patios

A clean, simple concrete finish gives you a modern look that is easy to maintain. We can add a broom finish for better traction or polish the surface for a smooth, elegant appearance. This option works great if you plan to add outdoor rugs or want a neutral backdrop for your furniture.

Stamped Concrete Patios

Get the high-end look of natural stone, brick, or tile without the high price tag. Stamped concrete uses custom molds to create realistic patterns and textures. Popular options include slate, flagstone, cobblestone, and wood plank patterns. We can also add custom colors to make your patio truly unique.

Colored and Stained Concrete

Add color to your patio with integral color mixed into the concrete or acid stains applied after curing. You can choose from earth tones like terracotta and sandstone or go bold with blues and greens. Multiple colors can be combined to create custom patterns and designs.

Multi-Level and Custom Shapes

Not every yard is flat, and not every patio needs to be square. We can design multi-level patios that follow your yard's natural slope or create custom shapes with curves and angles. These features add visual interest and can define different areas for dining, lounging, or cooking.

How We Build Your Perfect Patio

Building a concrete patio requires careful planning and execution. We follow a proven process to ensure your patio looks great and lasts for decades. First, we meet with you to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. We take measurements and assess your yard conditions to create a design that works with your space.

Next, we prepare the site by excavating to the proper depth and removing any grass, roots, or debris. The ground is compacted and leveled, then a gravel base is installed for drainage and stability. We build forms to shape your patio and ensure proper slope for water runoff.

When it is time to pour, we use high-quality concrete mix reinforced with wire mesh or rebar. The concrete is leveled, finished with your chosen texture, and if you selected stamping or coloring, those processes happen while the concrete is still workable. Finally, we protect the fresh concrete and allow it to cure properly before you use your new patio.
