Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space that handles Michigan weather and everyday use without cracking or fading.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio
Your backyard should be a place where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy time with family. A concrete patio gives you a solid, level surface that will not shift, settle, or require constant maintenance like wood decks or pavers. In Muskegon, where we deal with rain, snow, and temperature swings, concrete stands up to everything Mother Nature throws at it.
At NorthWay Muskegon Concrete, we build patios that last. We are not just pouring concrete and walking away. We take the time to prepare the ground properly, use quality materials, and finish the surface so it looks great and performs even better. Whether you want a simple patio for your grill or an elaborate outdoor kitchen area, we have got you covered.
How We Build Patios That Last
A patio is more than just a slab of concrete. It is a carefully engineered structure that needs to handle weight, water, and seasonal ground movement. Here is what goes into every patio we build:
Site Preparation
We start by excavating the area to remove grass, roots, and unstable soil. Then we install a compacted gravel base that provides drainage and prevents settling. This step is critical. If the base is not right, your patio will crack and sink over time.
Proper Slope and Drainage
Water should always flow away from your home. We grade your patio with a slight slope so rainwater runs off instead of pooling on the surface. This keeps your patio dry and prevents water from seeping underneath where it can cause problems.
Reinforcement
We use rebar or wire mesh to reinforce the concrete. This helps prevent cracking and keeps the patio strong even if minor ground movement occurs. Reinforcement is especially important in Michigan where freeze-thaw cycles can put stress on concrete.
Quality Concrete and Finishing
We use a 4,000 PSI concrete mix that is strong enough to handle furniture, grills, and foot traffic. The concrete is poured at least 4 inches thick, sometimes more depending on your needs. We finish the surface with options like broom finish for traction, smooth finish for a clean look, or stamped decorative patterns for added visual appeal.
Patio Design Options
Your patio should fit your lifestyle and your property. We work with you to design a patio that meets your needs and budget. Here are some options to consider:
- Simple rectangular patios for grilling and dining
- Large entertainment areas with space for seating and fire pits
- Multi-level patios that follow the contours of your yard
- Decorative borders and color options
- Stamped or textured finishes that mimic stone, brick, or wood
- Integrated features like built-in planters or seating walls
