A concrete patio should feel solid underfoot, drain correctly, and stay easy to maintain. Since 2017, Jacksonville Concreters has installed and repaired concrete patios in Jacksonville with clean edges, proper slope, and durable finishes that fit how you actually use the space.
For a concrete patio that does not settle or crack early, the work starts below the slab. We remove sod and soft fill, proof-roll problem areas, and establish a uniform subgrade. A compacted crushed stone base (often 4-6 inches of #57 stone or road base, depending on soil) goes in lifts and is compacted with a plate compactor. Forms are set straight and staked tight, grade is verified with a laser level, and we plan control joints before concrete is placed to manage shrinkage cracking.
Jacksonville conditions demand attention to drainage, soil movement, and surface grip. We set patio slope away from the home (commonly about 1/8-1/4 inch per foot) and protect adjacent slab edges and landscaping. For the slab, typical residential patios run 4 inches thick with thickened edges where needed, with reinforcement options such as welded wire mesh or rebar grid tied on chairs so steel stays in the concrete, not on the base. Finish choices include broom-finish for slip resistance, trowel finish for a smoother look, and decorative options like light stamping, integral color, or a broadcast color hardener, plus a penetrating sealer to reduce staining and moisture intrusion.
Customers choose us because we build patios the way they should be built, not just poured and left. We are licensed and insured, provide clear scope and measurements, and give a free written estimate with options for thickness, reinforcement, and finish. Our crews show up with the right equipment (laser level, plate compactor, mixer or ready-mix placement tools, edgers, groovers) and we protect your property with clean form lines, controlled washout, and careful routing for wheelbarrows and pumps when access is tight. If you are calling about patio repair, we give straight answers on what can be resurfaced, what needs a sawcut and replace, and when settlement or drainage must be fixed first.
At the end of the job, we do a closing walkthrough so you know exactly what you are getting and how to care for it. You will see the control-joint layout, slope and drainage path, edges and transitions at doors or steps, and the final surface texture. We leave you with curing guidance (keep traffic off, avoid heavy loads early, and follow any wet-curing or curing-compound plan), a cleanup that includes form removal and haul-off as agreed, and recommendations for sealing and routine cleaning. The goal is a concrete patio that looks sharp on day one and stays serviceable for years.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate with scope details such as demolition, base prep, reinforcement, concrete thickness, finish type, and curing recommendations.
Yes. We handle demolition and haul-off, re-grade and compact the subbase, then form and pour the replacement slab with planned joints and a finish matched to your needs.
Common options include broom-finish for traction, smooth trowel where appropriate, and decorative stamped concrete with color options. We will recommend a finish based on slip resistance, drainage, and how you use the surface.
Hairline cracking is common as concrete cures and moves with temperature and moisture changes. Proper base prep, reinforcement, and control-joint layout help manage where cracks form and how they behave over time.
Yes. We commonly handle pads, sidewalks, approaches, and targeted repairs, and we can plan around business hours and access constraints when needed.
A well-built concrete patio adds usable outdoor space without the maintenance of pavers that shift or wood that rots. Jacksonville Concreters installs new concrete patios and repairs existing slabs with an emphasis on base prep, reinforcement, drainage, and finish quality. Whether you need a simple broom-finish pad for furniture and a grill, or a decorative stamped surface that ties into a pool deck or walkway, we size the slab and details to match your use and your site conditions.
Concrete patio installation is not just placing concrete, it is managing water and movement. We start with excavation, grade the subbase, and install compacted aggregate to create a stable platform. Then we set forms, verify elevations, and plan control joints so cracking occurs in the joints instead of randomly across the surface. For many patios, a 4-inch slab works well, while heavier-use areas or hot tub pads may require increased thickness and reinforcement. We also coordinate transitions to existing slabs, door thresholds, and yard grade so the patio feels intentional, not added on.
Concrete patio repair depends on the failure mode. Minor surface wear can sometimes be addressed with grinding, patching, and sealing, but wide cracks, rocking sections, or ponding water often point to base problems that call for partial or full replacement. We can sawcut and remove damaged panels, correct the base, and re-pour sections with matched thickness and a joint plan that blends with the rest of the patio.
If you want a concrete patio that drains correctly, handles Florida weather, and stays comfortable to walk on, we will lay out a clear plan and a firm scope before work begins. Request a free written estimate and we will review your site, discuss finish options, and recommend the right slab details for your property.
