Concrete Patios in Bridgeview, IL

Two things ruin a patio. Wrong size and wrong slope. Too small and nobody uses it. Too flat and it puddles. Pitched toward the house and it sends every storm at your foundation. We fix both before the pour. First, how will you use it? How many chairs. Where the grill sits. Which way the door opens. We size it around that. Second, where should water go? We read the yard with a level, check the downspouts and set the slope so water runs to the lawn. Then the build. Sod and soil out. Limestone in and tamped. Forms set to the slope. About 4 inches of concrete for most patios. Finish your way: broom, smooth or stamped. Joints laid out for the shape. Edges backfilled. On the price sheet, every piece is a line. Including our 8-month warranty: a crack wider than 1/8 inch in that window gets filled with a concrete repair sealant, or an overlay if the patio is stamped.
