Custom Concrete Patios

A backyard patio should be a durable extension of your living space, but pouring long-lasting patios in Fort Collins that homeowners can enjoy for decades requires careful engineering. The extreme climate in northern Colorado means your patio will face hot summer sun, heavy winter snow, and rapid temperature changes. If a patio is poured without the right reinforcement and air-entrained concrete, the freeze-thaw cycle will quickly cause cracking and shifting.

Our team approaches patio construction with a focus on durability and visual appeal. We begin by preparing the site, excavating the grass, and grading the ground to manage water runoff. Proper grading is critical because water must flow away from your home's foundation. We install a compacted gravel base and place steel reinforcement to keep the slab unified, even when the underlying clay soil shifts.

We specialize in hard-to-reach residential backyards. Instead of driving heavy mixer trucks and destroying your lawn, we use our own compact line pumping equipment. This allows us to pump the wet concrete directly through a standard garden gate or narrow side yard, keeping your property clean and undamaged.

You can choose from several finishing options depending on your style. While a standard broom finish offers excellent slip resistance, we also offer decorative concrete options. This includes stamped concrete designs that replicate the look of natural stone or slate, as well as exposed aggregate finishes. Concrete is one of the most versatile and low-maintenance materials for outdoor living because it does not harbor weeds or shift like individual pavers.

We are a family-owned and operated crew with over 20 years of experience in the Fort Collins area. Our OSHA 30 certified crew maintains a safe, organized workspace, and we do not leave open hazards in your yard. We handle everything from the initial dig to the final cleanup. Fill out our online form to request a free estimate on your patio project.

We also make sure to install control joints at precise intervals across your new patio. Control joints are planned weak points that tell the concrete where to crack as it shrinks and expands. By placing these joints correctly, we keep the surface looking clean and prevent unsightly, random cracks from running across the middle of your patio.

Whether you want a simple slab for grilling or a large multi-level outdoor living area, we scale our team and equipment to match the project scope. We stand by our work, using ACI certified techniques to make certain your outdoor space remains flat and beautiful for years to come. Contact us today to start planning your outdoor living space.

Pricing Guide

What Affects Concrete Patio Costs

Finish and Texture

Decorative stamped or exposed aggregate finishes cost more than a standard broom finish due to the extra labor and materials.

Backyard Access

Tight yards that require narrow hose runs or compact pumping equipment can affect setup and labor times.

Site Grading

Sloped yards require extra soil excavation, retaining walls, or extra concrete thickness to achieve a level surface.

The Contractor You Choose

Above and Below Concrete is fully licensed, insured, and bonded. We hold ACI certifications and are BBB Accredited. Hiring unlicensed laborers often results in poor grading, leading to standing water next to your home's foundation.
