Concrete Patios & Stamped Concrete

A concrete patio gives your family a solid, low-care place to relax outside. It handles chairs, tables, grills, and foot traffic for years. At A+ Concrete, custom patios are our owner's top service, and we pour them to fit your yard and how you like to spend time outdoors.

You can keep it simple with a smooth or broom finish, or go decorative with stamped, colored concrete that looks like stone, brick, or wood plank. Want a spot to gather at night? We can build a firepit right into the patio. Call (308) 279-0424 for a free estimate.

What a Concrete Patio Adds to Your Home

A patio turns unused backyard space into a room without walls. It is a place for meals, birthdays, and quiet mornings with coffee. A poured slab stays flat and firm, so tables do not wobble and chairs do not sink like they do on grass or gravel.

Concrete also asks very little of you. A quick sweep and an occasional rinse keep it looking good. It does not rot like wood decking, and it does not need yearly staining or board swaps. Many families find a patio is one of the best-value upgrades they can add to a yard.

If you are also planning other flatwork, a patio pairs well with new walkways and sidewalks that tie the yard together. See our full range of concrete services to plan it all at once.

Stamped and Decorative Concrete Finishes

Stamped concrete lets a plain gray slab look like something richer. While the concrete is still fresh, we press textured mats into the surface. This creates patterns that copy the look of natural stone, slate, cobblestone, brick, or wood plank. From a few steps away, many people cannot tell it is concrete.

Color adds the next layer. We can mix color into the concrete so it runs all the way through, then add a second surface color for depth and shading. Earth tones like tan, brown, slate gray, and warm red are popular because they blend with most homes and landscaping.

You can also choose the finish feel. A broom finish gives a light grip that is good for wet areas. An exposed look shows the small stones in the mix. Stamped patterns give the most style. We will walk you through samples so you can pick what fits your home and budget.

Your Custom Concrete Patio, Built Your Way

Every yard is different, so we design each concrete patio around your space. We look at where the sun sits, where you want shade, how water drains, and how you plan to use the area. Then we shape the patio to match, whether that is a simple square off the back door or a larger layout with curves and steps.

Because our owner Brian has 31 years of hands-on concrete experience, he knows how small choices add up. The right slope keeps water off your house. The right joint spots control where the concrete moves. Good planning up front is what makes a patio look sharp and hold up for the long run.

Build a Firepit Into Your Patio

A firepit turns a patio into a place people want to stay after dark. We can build a firepit right into the concrete as part of the pour and layout. That means it looks planned and built-in, not like something set on top later.

We help you place it so there is room for chairs all around and safe space from the house. You can pair it with a low seat wall or a wider patio edge for extra seating. Add some string lights, and you have a real outdoor living space your family will use spring, summer, and fall.

Firepits are a natural add-on to a patio project, so it is best to plan one from the start. Ask us about it when we come out for your free estimate.

What Does a Concrete Patio Cost?

There is no single price for a patio, because each one is different. The best way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. That said, it helps to know what drives the cost so there are no surprises.

Size is the biggest factor. A larger patio uses more concrete and more labor. The finish matters too. A plain broom finish costs less than a stamped, colored, decorative surface, since stamping takes extra steps, tools, and skill. Site prep, grading, base work, and add-ons like a firepit all play a part.

Industry cost guides often list stamped concrete patios in a range of about $12 to $20 or more per square foot, with plain patios costing less. Treat that as a general market guide only, not our quote. We give you a clear, written price for your exact project once we see the site. Financing is available, ask us.

Built to Survive Our Freeze-Thaw Winters

Winters here are long and cold with heavy snow. Water soaks into concrete, then freezes and swells, then thaws again. This freeze-thaw cycle cracks and flakes any slab that was poured too thin or cured too fast. A patio built the cheap, quick way often fails in just a few seasons.

We build to beat that. We use an air-entrained concrete mix, which has tiny air pockets that give the water room to expand without breaking the slab. We prep a solid, well-drained base and pour the slab at a proper thickness so it carries load and resists heaving.

We also cut control joints. These are planned grooves that tell the concrete where to crack as it moves, instead of cracking at random across your patio. Last, we cure the slab the right way so it gains full strength. These same steps protect our concrete driveways and building foundations in this climate. If you have an older slab that is already scaling or cracking, ask about concrete repair.

Design and Layout Choices

The shape and layout of your patio change how the whole yard feels. A straight-edged patio looks clean and modern. Curved edges feel softer and can wrap around a garden or tree. We can add steps to link different levels, or a border in a second color or pattern to frame the space.

Think about how you will use it. Do you want a dining zone and a separate fire zone? Room for a grill station? A path out to the garage or garden? We plan the layout, the finish, and any add-ons together so the patio works as one clean design, not a set of mismatched parts.
